Toronto, Canada Canadian Partnership Against Cancer Full time

The **Cancer Systems and Innovation Division** supports initiatives to improve equitable access, to better experiences and outcomes, and to advance reconciliation throughout Canada’s cancer system. The division enables system change with data, research, innovation, and modelling. Work of the division is primarily accomplished through partnerships across Canada to implement evidence-informed and co-developed solutions, encompassing everything from prevention and screening to diagnosis and clinical care through to palliative care and survivorship.

**Overview of role**:
The **Specialist, Scientific & International Engagements** supports the Cancer Systems, Performance & Innovation Division in carrying out projects and initiatives to achieve organizational priorities. Reporting to the Manager, Research & Innovation, the incumbent coordinates and provides support to deliver on program/project objectives. As a highly organized professional with strong time management skills, this position delivers on the tasks of the job while contributing to CPAC’s overall vision to reduce the burden of cancer on all Canadians.

**Core responsibilities and activities**:
**Program and vendor management**:

- Holds accountability for leading all work related to business intelligence for the purpose of improving integration between cancer control and cancer research.
- Keeps abreast of emerging scientific literature and best practice both nationally and internationally. Interacts with experts in the scientific and innovation communities and identifies opportunities to translate evidence into practice.
- Provides support and guidance to CPAC for their involvement and co-leadership in large national and international meetings such as the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC).
- Leads the planning and execution of the bi-annual Canadian Cancer Research Conference, including oversight and management of the relationship and contract with third-party professional conference organizers.
- Works closely with others (e.g. Canadian Cancer Research Alliance) to understand trends in the funding of cancer research to help identify gaps in knowledge necessary to improve cancer control.
- Contributes to the overall Research and Innovation program and provides input and coverage in additional areas as required.
- Supports the team in the development of the annual work plan and budget, contributes to long-term plans and determines appropriate outcomes to ensure progress against the cancer strategy.

**Competencies**:
The Partnership has core competencies which describe the behaviours we expect to be exhibited by staff. While the role overview and accountabilities describe what the successful incumbent will do, the competencies describe how we expect them to do it. The competencies are a key element to how the Partnership measures performance. There are five universal competencies which need to be exhibited by all staff.

**Universal competencies**:

- Inclusion: Contributes to a work environment where all people feel safe, have a sense of belonging, feel valued for their differences, and are empowered to participate and contribute freely.
- Collaboration and Teamwork: Works well with others both internally and externally to achieve individual goals, team goals, and/or organizational goals. Understands that a combined effort leads to greater results than those achieved by individuals.
- Organizational Awareness: Contributes by aligning actions with the organization’s goals, core functions, needs, and values. Understands how the organization functions internally and externally in the broader system.
- Design-Thinking: Designs solutions with the end user in mind. Clearly defines problems to address the real needs. Adopts an iterative approach to designing solutions, integrating ideas or feedback generated at various stages.

**Qualifications**:

- University Undergraduate Degree in Health Administration, Genetics, Oncology, or other relevant discipline, or an acceptable combination of education and experience. A graduate degree, preferably in research related discipline (cancer, genetics, health services research), would be an asset.
- Minimum 5 years’ experience, preferably in the non-profit or healthcare sector. Education or experience with First Nations, Inuit and Métis is an asset.
- Extensive experience analyzing and interpreting data, gathering, and synthesizing evidence, preparing reports and presentations on technical topics.
- Proficient in Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive)
