Job Summary

Mandate/Core purpose of the role:
Reporting to the President & CEO of ONC, the Director of Science provides executive leadership for ONC's scientific mission, with accountability for the long-term scientific direction of the organization and the performance of the Science Services division.

The Director of Science is responsible for national and international partnerships while serving as the ONC scientific lead in the development of monitoring programs for marine protected and ocean conservation areas in collaboration with Provincial and Canadian partners. The Director leads ONC in the scientific excellence and innovative thinking necessary to maintain ONC’s leadership at the forefront of ocean observing and is the liaison with ONC’s International Science Advisory Board and with the Ocean Observatory Council.

This position is a member of ONC's Executive Team, providing Science with a formal voice in organizational strategy and decision-making. The Director ensures that scientific priorities are integrated into operational and infrastructure decisions across ONC, and that the Science Services division has the leadership, resources, and culture to deliver on ONC's mission.

This position provides counsel to the President & CEO and ONC’s Board of Directors, and reports to the ONC Board on a range of science issues and projects.

This position requires travel nationally and internationally.

Objective:
The Director of Science role involves advancing and supporting current and new scientific disciplines utilizing the ONC ocean observatories to advance scientific research in support of ONC's 2030 Strategic Plan and the goals therein. The Director reports directly to the President & CEO, provides counsel to the Board of Directors, and is a member of the Executive Team. This role is accountable for the strategic leadership and organizational health of the Science Services Division, including setting annual direction, budget and HR management, and ensuring the Science Team has the conditions to deliver on ONC's science mission.
