  • Cultivate and maintain robust working relationships with key analytical partners in Agriculture & Agrifood Canada (AFFC), Ministry of Agriculture Food & Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), other provinces, senior management, and industry associations.
  • Act as a SME both internally (e.g., IT for larger programs and enhancements) and externally for complex reporting, data analysis for program improvements, and mathematical methodologies.

Employment Status: Permanent
