This is an ownership role. You will be measured on what gets delivered: programs launched on time and on budget, recruitment targets met, funder commitments honoured, and participants who leave with real progress on their growth goals.

- Recruitment targets: Build and convert a pipeline of qualified SMBs through outreach, referrals, and partners; keep records current in CRM.
- Participant outcomes: Serve as the main point of contact for participants, resolve issues quickly, and drive strong completion, satisfaction, and alumni engagement.
- Partners and experts: Recruit and manage facilitators, speakers, and delivery partners so every session meets a high standard.
- Reporting: Track performance, report progress honestly to leadership and funders, and flag risks early with solutions in hand.
- Continuous improvement: Use participant feedback and data to make each cohort better than the last.
Your experience includes:
- A track record of delivering to results, projects, or initiatives with measurable results, and owning the outcome when things go sideways.
- Experience working with business owners or executives.
- Practical exposure to international business, export development, or market entry.
- Strong organization, judgement, and follow-through across multiple priorities.
- Confident communication and relationship-building with partners and colleagues.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office and comfort using AI tools to work more efficiently; CRM or LMS experience is an asset.
You’re often described as:
Reliable, Results-driven, and accountable, someone who does what they say, finishes what they start, and makes the people around them more effective.
