PurposeMed Looking for Manager, Leadership and Talent Enablement at Calgary, AB Full Time

Who we hope to find:

PurposeMed is looking for a Manager, Leadership and Talent Enablement who can uncover and unlock the capabilities of our leaders and team members. Knowing that personal development is a continuous journey, you’ll give our high potential PurposeMedians the tools they need to reach their next growth milestones. Reporting into the VP, People and working closely with People Operations and Training, you will design and implement programs that support our team’s development, while aligning with business objectives and fostering a culture of high performance.

Though we have an office based in Calgary, this is a remote position that is open to candidates across Canada.

In this role, you’ll make an impact by:

• Focusing initially on understanding the needs of our clinical and operations leaders and providing them with practical, foundational training to help them navigate leading a team (e.g. how to have productive 1-on-1s, how to deliver feedback, etc.)
• Partnering with People Operations to drive key company-wide programs that support team performance (e.g. review processes, competency frameworks, career pathing, internal mobility, etc.)
• Creating opportunities for our leaders to level up their knowledge and skills and matching them with the right resources (each deliverable might look different depending on the need, such as facilitating peer roundtable discussions, hosting internal leadership conferences, building out self-directed training, or a variety of other methods and forums)
• Partnering closely with our leaders and providing training, coaching and mentoring to help them scale up their capabilities: you can comfortably support them through a wide variety of topics such as organizational design, strategic goal setting, performance management, etc.
• Co-creating and delivering engaging content throughout the entire PurposeMedian journey (e.g. onboarding, role-specific skill development, hiring, etc.) in collaboration with our training team and subject matter experts
• Supporting our diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging efforts by collaborating with our marketing and community engagement teams

We need someone who:

• Has spent 5+ years successfully driving, project managing and delivering large scale, high visibility leadership and talent enablement/development programs that involve various stakeholders across the business
• Led high-performing teams in the past—you understand how to develop exceptional leaders because you are one
• Has a solid understanding of adult learning principles (gained either formally or informally), knows how to conduct thorough needs analysis and measure the effectiveness of L&D programs to optimize for tangible results (you can set clear learning outcomes and design your delivery accordingly)
• Stays on top of the latest industry tools, trends and best practices in talent enablement and knows when to use what delivery medium to get the best results—you’re creative and seeking to be a disrupter in the space, not someone who’s happy to deliver the status quo
• Has managed budgets for company-wide talent programs and initiatives
• Is an inspiring, energetic communicator and facilitator (your passion for your work shines through when you’re delivering your content)
• Fosters a safe, inclusive environment and innately understands how to cater to the unique learning needs of each individual (you look at your programs critically through a DEI&B lens before launching)

It would also be great if you:

• Know when a topic might be best addressed by an external vendor (consultant, facilitator, etc.) and can work with them to deliver specialized content that aligns with our needs and values
• Are well-versed in many different e-learning technologies and can adapt to new ones
• Have experience with change management at startups
• Possess any formal L&D or coaching certifications

Do you think you could be our next Manager, Leadership and Talent Enablement? We look forward to seeing your application!

Why you should join us:

• Be part of a team of great people who don’t take themselves too seriously. While we’re serious about the problems we solve, we believe in having fun along the way.
• Make an impact, every single day. We’re providing compassionate, affirming care to many people who have never received care for their condition before.
• Receive great benefits from your first day of work. We offer plenty of paid time off, a parental leave top-up program, group benefits, learning stipends and other perks.
• Work flexibly within a team that’s remote-friendly.* We believe that work should fit around your life. We also have an office in Calgary available for anyone in the area!
• Be confident in bringing your whole self to work. Inclusivity is core to how we take care of our patients, our teammates and ourselves. We create spaces that are safe and affirming.

If you are looking for a place that sparks your creativity, helps others, and will push you to be your best, then you’ll love PurposeMed.

• Most of our roles are performed virtually from home across Canada. Team members working onsite at Affirming Care pharmacies do need to be physically present.

PurposeMed is committed to being an equal opportunity employer, so we highly encourage those from excluded and marginalized communities to apply. This includes groups such as (but not limited to): Indigenous, Black, and racialized communities, trans and non-binary, LGBTQ2S+, disabled, HIV positive people. You don’t have to check every single box above. If the job description gets you excited and you think you could contribute your expertise to our team—we hope you’ll apply!
