  • Apply data insights and KPIs to measure program outcomes, adapt offerings and align initiatives with strategic priorities.
  • Develop targeted education campaigns in response to enforcement data, incident trends and geographic hotspots to support Field Services.
  • Collaborate with Animal Care & Wellness to produce public education on pet wellness, disease prevention and proper care.
  • Identify and implement best practices, technologies and evidence‑based approaches for public engagement and education delivery.
  • Produce outreach materials, learning tools and social media content in collaboration with the City’s Strategic Communications and Marketing teams that meet corporate branding and accessibility standards.
  • Coordinate and lead public events including adoption drives, education fairs and Animal Services Week.
  • Build and maintain partnerships with schools, community associations, NGOs, sponsors, and sector stakeholders to expand program reach.
  • Serve as a primary spokesperson and media contact for MAS
  • Prepare reports, presentations and briefings for senior management, Council and partner organizations; contribute to crisis communications when required.
  • Manage program budgets, procurement and resource planning related to education and outreach initiatives.
  • Ensure accessibility, inclusivity and cultural relevance across all educational content and delivery formats.
  • Oversee integration of digital tools, in‑person learning and experiential outreach; pilot innovative program models and continuous improvement cycles.
