Why Fred Victor?
For 130 years, Fred Victor has been a leader in helping people rebuild their lives in Toronto. Our mission is to improve
the health, income and housing stability of people experiencing poverty and homelessness. We are committed to
ending homelessness, one person at a time.
Fred Victor is seeking an Application Maintenance Consultant to provide technical leadership, governance, and
operational stewardship for the Central Client Database (CCD), a critical organizational application supporting client
information management, service delivery oversight, quality improvement, reporting, and decision-making across the
organization. The consultant will serve as the primary technical steward for the CCD, ensuring the application remains
secure, reliable, maintainable, and aligned with evolving organizational priorities, legislative requirements, privacy
obligations, and operational needs. The role requires independent technical judgment to assess risks, recommend
solutions, prioritize system improvements, and guide decisions related to application stability, security, sustainability,
and future development.
Following transition from the original development vendor, the consultant will provide ongoing technical ownership
of the CCD application ecosystem, including the application codebase, technical architecture, deployment processes,
security posture, documentation, and operational procedures. The role will reduce organizational dependency on
external vendors by maintaining technical knowledge, ensuring continuity, and establishing sustainable support
practices.
The consultant will work across multiple teams and stakeholders, including program leadership, Data, Quality and
Research unit, Privacy officers, infrastructure service providers, cybersecurity resources, internal IT partners, and
external technology vendors. The role requires the ability to translate organizational needs into technical solutions,
assess competing priorities, communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences, and provide
recommendations that balance business requirements, security, privacy, and operational considerations.
The CCD is a custom application built using a Django backend, React frontend, PostgreSQL database, and Docker -
based deployment model. The application is hosted in a cloud environment and currently operates as a standalone
application without external system integrations.
This is a specialized fractional role, estimated at approximately 20 hours per month, with additional time required
during transition activities, critical incidents, security events, system changes, or organizational initiatives affecting
the CCD. The role is focused on application stewardship, technical governance, operational reliability, and risk
