  • Serve as the primary senior contact for funders, system partners, and cross‑sector tables.
  • Guide continuous quality improvement initiatives, innovation pilots, and service model refinement.
  • Ensure organizational policies, equity practices, Indigenous engagement commitments, and trauma‑informed principles are embedded across operations.
  • Monitor labour market trends, system pressures, and emerging risks; adjust regional strategies accordingly.
  • Support organizational change management, workforce planning, and leadership development.
