Nordicity (Vancouver office) acknowledges that it is founded on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
The Organization
Nordicity is an international consultancy providing private and public-sector clients with solutions in the areas of Economic Analysis, Strategy and Business, and Policy and Regulation across four priority sectors: arts, culture, and heritage; digital and creative media; information and communication technologies (ICTs); and, innovation. With offices in Vancouver, Toronto, and London (UK), Nordicity has—for the past 40 years and counting—been providing its clients with the tools and insights required to adapt, evolve, and thrive in markets that iteratively change. With the confluence of activity unfolding in today’s global economy, Nordicity’s services—known for being solutions-focused and bespoke—are particularly relevant to the sectors and clients that the organization serves.
The Opportunity
Nordicity is adding a Senior Project Manager to its growing team. Reporting to the Partner in charge of Nordicity’s Vancouver office, and working closely with Managers, Directors, and Partners from across the firm, the successful candidate is primarily responsible for contributing to project management, analysis, and reporting (both in written and verbal form) across numerous Nordicity engagements. In their role, the candidate will lead the delivery of several concurrent projects in partnership with teams found across Nordicity’s offices. As part of the firm’s Project Management Committee, the successful candidate will draw upon their systems and operations experience to ensure that processes linked to Nordicity’s client engagements undergo continuous improvement analysis.
The salary for the position of Senior Project Manager is approximately $75,000, and the context of work is hybrid/remote (with the successful hire working from Nordicity’s Vancouver office location when not working from home).
Qualifications
Among the qualifications being sought in candidates, the incoming leader must have a deep and abiding commitment to advancing reconciliation, equity, diversity, and inclusion in all its forms and must believe, intrinsically, in the importance of leading
with curiosity and welcoming ideas that can later be synthesized and turned into possibility. While all candidates are encouraged to apply and, in so doing, share how they see themselves adding value to the Nordicity environment, the following credentials and/or experiences are seen as possible markers of the candidates most likely to realize success in the role: A) a reputation for being highly organized, with the ability to effectively prioritize tasks among a variety of competing priorities; B) a critical thinker, someone who routinely adds value to project teams and clients given their ability to connect the dots; C) a strong communicator, both in verbal and written form, with a track record of successfully managing multiple projects; D) a people-person who finds team-based projects both energizing and impactful; and, E) a degree from a recognized post-secondary institution, or the equivalent combination of education and professional work experience.
