The Regional Municipality of Durham is one of the fastest-growing jurisdictions in Ontario, currently serving a population exceeding 800,000 residents and projected to reach approximately 1.3 million by 2051. Spanning approximately 2,400 square km in geography, the Region includes a diverse mix of urban, suburban, and rural communities. Growth in the Region is guided through the Regional Official Plan (Envision Durham) and the 2025–2035 Strategic Plan, which focuses on connected communities, environmental sustainability, resilient economies, and strong relationships.

The Region is seeking a strategic, collaborative, and forward-thinking leader for the role of Director, Business Services within the Social Services Department. Reporting to the Commissioner of Social Services, the Director provides executive leadership for the department’s business affairs, financial management, administrative services, and emergency social services functions, overseeing a workforce of 79 staff and supporting more than 60 program areas. Responsible for a departmental budget exceeding $700 million and funding relationships with multiple provincial and federal ministries, the Director plays a critical role in long-term financial planning, business strategy, budget modernization, internal controls, and service sustainability. The position serves as a trusted advisor to senior leadership, Council, and community stakeholders on complex financial, operational, and policy matters that impact vulnerable populations across the Region. In addition, the Director leads emergency social services planning and response, supports major initiatives in affordable housing, childcare, homelessness, community investment, and service system manager programs, and ensures the effective administration of significant funding, contract, and payment programs. As a people-centered leader, the successful candidate will foster a culture of accountability, innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement while building organizational capacity to advance community well-being, social inclusion, and service excellence.

The ideal candidate is an accomplished and collaborative leader with a strong foundation in public sector financial management, business administration, and strategic planning.

The successful candidate is an exceptional communicator and relationship builder with expertise in managing diverse teams, fostering accountability, and driving continuous improvement. Knowledge of municipal governance, budget processes, internal controls, emergency management, legislative frameworks, and service delivery within a public sector environment will be key to success.
