**Why GMF is the place for you**

At GMF, we empower our people to create change where it has the most impact - municipalities. GMF is a $1.6 billion permanent endowment from the Government of Canada, managed at arm's length, making it nimble and available for higher-risk, higher-impact initiatives. A further $530M investment into GMF to support the National Adaptation Strategy was announced in November 2022. Our team is committed to helping local governments switch to sustainable practices faster. GMF is the cornerstone program of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM).

Our unique mix of funding, resources, and training gives municipalities the tools they need to build resiliency — and create better lives for Canadians. Through GMF, municipalities have reduced carbon emissions; built better transportation assets; constructed efficient and resilient buildings; diverted waste from landfill; made previously unusable land available for development; and improved soil and water quality.

**You in this role**:
As an active member of the Programs Support and Development team, the Advisor, Programs Support and Development acts as an internal consultant helping GMF deliver high quality, effective programs to our clients. The Programs Support and Development team works across GFM’s programs, as well as with senior leaders, to provide services in three areas:

- **Program development and design support**: Contribute to the development of new funding offers and updating of existing ones to ensure that GMF funding supports local governments’ needs and are well integrated with overall GMF operations.
- **Program performance management**: Contribute to developing and operationalizing performance management and measurement frameworks that enable GMF leaders to make decisions towards operational and strategic outcomes.
- **Programs alignment and continuous improvement**: Build alignment between programs on key elements and lead continuous improvement initiatives that add value toward GMF’s strategic objectives.

The Advisor will lead projects across these services working closely with senior leaders, program directors, and program leads, as appropriate. As an internal consultant, Advisors bring a mix of technical background and expertise and strong conceptual thinking, influencing, and diplomacy skills to each project they take on.

The work at FCM includes FCM becoming an even more member-driven organization that balances the realization of its goals with a people-centered approach. The incumbent embodies FCM’s commitment to being a healthy, diverse, inclusive, and anti-racist organization. As a member of the team, the Adisor works in a manner that embraces these values, the corporate culture and the passion for FCM’s mandate.

**What you’ll be doing**:
Advisors will lead projects in any of the areas listed below. In doing so they may work directly with senior leaders, program directors, project leads, or the Manager, Programs Support and Development. In collaboration with the internal client (senior leader, program director, project lead) and with support from the Manager, Programs Support and Development, the Advisor will be responsible for defining the project, which will include:

- The scope of work to be conducted, with outcomes/deliverables and key milestones
- Resourcing requirements, including roles and responsibilities of implicated staff
- Level of effort appropriate to the project

**Program development and design**:

- Lead the development of project charters and project plans
- Deliver work packages such as developing or updating guides, frameworks, reporting requirements and other document or process updates

- Lead internal and external consultations that respect people from diverse communities, backgrounds, and identities with a high degree of tact and diplomacy
- Design and facilitate internal multi-stakeholder decision making processes
