Who We Are

Simon Fraser University is a leading research university, advancing an inclusive and sustainable future. Our purpose – the essence of SFU – is to create and connect knowledge, learning and community for deeper understanding and meaningful impact. We are committed to fostering excellence, innovation, belonging and community in all that we do.

The Associate Director, Product & Service Delivery provides strategic leadership across SFU’s academic management systems, with a focus on long-term planning, development, and alignment with institutional priorities. This role leads the product vision and roadmap for major initiatives—including the Integrated Faculty Management System (IFMS)—and ensures cohesive, scalable delivery across multiple Agile teams. The position plays a key role in driving change, aligning cross-functional delivery with business outcomes, and ensuring programs meet institutional goals, timelines, and sustainability targets.

The ideal candidate brings extensive experience in enterprise product management and solution delivery within complex organizations. A strong ability to align product strategy with institutional goals, guide multi-team Agile delivery, and make business-focused decisions is essential. This role requires strategic thinking, excellent communication, change management and the ability to lead across technical, academic, and administrative domains to drive long-term system evolution.

  • Proven experience in managing enterprise systems, coaching teams in agile frameworks and sustaining long-term operations.
  • Strong knowledge of academic management systems and enterprise applications.
  • Excellent knowledge of academic policies and processes.
  • Excellent leadership, communication and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent interpersonal, conflict resolution and communication skills.
