**About Us**

The Weston Family Foundation is a family-led charitable foundation that focuses on creative solutions in the areas of healthy aging and healthy ecosystems with the objective of delivering measurable impacts to the well-being of Canadians. Since its inception more than 60 years ago, the Foundation has provided $520 million in charitable grants and today is one of Canada’s largest private charitable foundations.

**Program Director, Microbiome**

**About the Foundation**

At the Weston Family Foundation (formerly The W. Garfield Weston Foundation), more than 60 years of philanthropy have taught us that there’s a relationship between healthy landscapes and healthy people. That’s why we champion world-class health research and innovation with the same passion that we support initiatives to protect and restore biodiversity on our unique landscapes. We take a collaborative approach to philanthropy, working alongside forward-thinking partners to advance Canada and create lasting impacts. We aspire to do more than provide funding, as we enable others to find transformational ways to improve the well-being of Canadians.

We are invested in the well-being of all Canadians. Our national identity encompasses a wide range of perspectives, ideas, and experiences. We aspire to develop and celebrate these differences in our working strategies and overall philosophy. We strive to take a mindful, deliberate approach, and to adopt policies and practices that advance and value diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging within the Foundation, our operations, and our extended community. This approach is always evolving, it includes dedicating time and resources towards equitable hiring and communications, and cultivating a safe, welcoming, and accessible work environment. Our firm belief is that by taking this outlook, we will increase the beneficial impact of our philanthropy.

**The Role**

The Program Director, Microbiome is responsible for helping to develop and execute the strategy of the Foundation’s Microbiome Committee (a committee comprised of a subset of Directors of the Board). He/she/they works in support of the Microbiome Committee members, to aid in their exploration of high-impact opportunities, to design and manage the Committee’s grant-making, measurement, reporting, and oversight as needed. The Program Director is the primary relationship manager with the internal Microbiome Committee. The Program Director will also work closely with the Foundation’s external international expert body of advisors and all grantees (individuals, organizations etc.) that receive Foundation funding. This role will support the Microbiome Committee in the development of their strategic goals and the alignment of their goals and activities against healthy aging outcomes of the Foundation’s overarching Health Pillar.

As a member of the Foundation’s leadership team, the role reports to the Executive Director of the Foundation but works very closely in a dotted line reporting relationship to the Chair of the Microbiome Committee. It is expected that the Program Director will use the best practices and approaches set forth by the Foundation’s leadership team to position the Committee as best-in-class. The Program Director, Microbiome holds an advanced degree specializing in Microbiome research or a related technical field and has experience identifying and managing evidence-based high-risk/high-reward projects that harness the microbiome in ways that promote beneficial healthy aging outcomes. The Program Director is a self-starter with an entrepreneurial mindset that has experience identifying and supporting projects that can harness the power of the microbiome in a real-world.

Given the Foundation is highly dedicated to real-world impact on Canadians, experience in commercialization, early-stage investment, biotechnology, clinical translation or clinical implementation is considered a strong asset. The Program Director brings a strong acumen of the opportunities and changing state of the microbiome field, the typical executional challenges facing microbiome-related projects, key microbiome opinion leaders, funders of microbiome work, and potentially transformative endeavors involving the microbiome where philanthropy can appropriately support.

The Program Director also works with the broader Foundation team to ensure best practices are employed in monitoring and evaluation, communication, thought leadership, knowledge mobilization and reporting of key activities.
