Reporting to the VP, Communications and Client Experience, the Executive Director is responsible for providing strategic leadership and oversight to CIHI’s team of stakeholder relations experts who strengthen CIHI’s presence, products and services in the six Eastern Canadian provinces.

Given our ongoing goal of maintaining strong stakeholder relationships in the province of Quebec and New Brunswick, the Executive Director must be fluently bilingual (written and oral) in both English and French.

The Executive Director should be someone who cares deeply about improving health care for Canadians and who understands that solid relationships within Canada’s provincial and territorial jurisdictions – built on trust – are the foundation of CIHI’s ability to gather and publish the data and information that health system decision makers rely on.
