Senior Project Manager

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.

Hatch Curator of Indigenous Art and Cultures - Royal Ontario Museum

The Organization
The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is a cultural institution that showcases art, culture, and nature from around the world and across the ages. Among the top 10 cultural institutions in North America and Canada’s largest and most comprehensive museum, ROM has a world-class collection of 13 million artworks, cultural objects, and natural history specimens, featured in 40 gallery and exhibition spaces. ROM's mission is to transform lives by helping people to understand the past, make sense of the present, and come together to shape a shared future. The museum is known globally for expanding the boundaries of knowledge and presenting that knowledge in new and innovative ways within the intersecting worlds of art, culture, and nature. ROM's extensive exhibition schedule and public programs attract approximately 190,000 students and 1.3 million visitors or more in a typical year.

ROM’s collection of Indigenous Art and Cultures is significant within Canada, featuring more than 40,000 cultural objects, or belongings, and works of art from diverse lands and cultures. The collection includes important Indigenous ceremonial and cultural heritage items from many Indigenous communities spanning the last two centuries as well as important works of contemporary art.

Community
Toronto, located on the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, is the largest city in Canada and the most diverse city on the planet (as designated by the United Nations) with over 50% of the population being foreign born. The provincial capital of Ontario, it has a vibrant arts and culture scene, with over 164,000 culture jobs and numerous museums and performing arts organizations. Combining its original heritage architecture with the contemporary Daniel Libeskind-designed Michael Lee-Chin Crystal, ROM serves as a national landmark and a dynamic cultural destination in the heart of the city surrounded by universities, colleges, and specialized research centers.

Toronto was the first city in Canada to be designated as a UNESCO Creative City of Media Arts and is also the fastest-growing technology market in North America, with 80,100 jobs created—greater than the job growth in New York City, Seattle, and Boston combined. The city has also been undergoing a construction boom over the last decade. This increased commercial development is coinciding with major transportation upgrades, including the $640 million revitalization of Union Station, Canada’s busiest transportation hub. Toronto also plays a significant role in the global film industry, serving as home to an international film festival and as a filming location for numerous television shows and movies. With vibrant neighborhoods that offer both urban and suburban living options, quality schools and access to over 50 kilometres of waterfront with beaches, parks, marinas, and waterfront trails; Toronto consistently ranks as one of the most livable cities in North America.

Toward a Deeper Indigenous Partnership
A top priority of ROM’s strategic direction is forging new and stronger relationships between Indigenous nations and communities, and museums. Indigenous people must have a leading voice in determining how their cultural heritage is cared for and shared.

In doing this work, ROM is informed by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the recent Canadian Museums Association’s Moved to Action report as well as its 1994 Task Force Report on Museums and First Peoples, and by current museological practices.

ROM is currently recruiting staff with robust ties to Indigenous nations or communities for key positions across museum departments and activities. These critical positions include the Vettoretto Curator of North American Archeology, the Hatch Curator of Indigenous Art & Culture, and an Interpretive Planner in the Exhibitions Development department. These colleagues will join the recently appointed Manager of Indigenous Learning and Programs in a cross-departmental cohort to play a leading role in establishing protocols and practices for the care of Indigenous collections and cultural belongings, cultivating formal relationships with First Nations governments, developing exhibitions and galleries, and presenting Indigenous cultures. Recognizing ROM’s origins in colonial practices, the museum is expanding staff training and building internal capacity to create a welcoming work environment for Indigenous colleagues. The museum is in contract discussions with an Indigenous expert in policy and protocols to help us in this regard.

For over 35 years, ROM has worked with Indigenous communities to repatriate ancestors and objects of cultural patrimony from its collection. Over the course of the last year ROM hosted collections visits for 38 Indigenous groups and provided extended consultation with 19 Indigenous groups or individuals, as well as ongoing consultations.

Since 2014, ROM has offered a robust program of Indigenous education, led by Indigenous educators. This work has been guided by an Indigenous Advisory Circle. Indigenous learning remains the most in-demand school program offering at ROM.

Over decades, ROM’s Daphne Cockwell Gallery dedicated to First Peoples art and culture was developed with Indigenous consultation and partnership. In late 2022, however, ROM closed the Gallery, recognizing it needed to be rethought to further centre Indigenous perspectives. After a brief pause, ROM reopened the gallery and launched a series of updates led by two Indigenous museum consultants. These ongoing changes put Indigenous voices in the lead and establish a new direction as the Museum develops a fundraising plan for a more comprehensive gallery reinstallation and conducts searches to fill critical positions.

ROM’s commitment to working collaboratively with members of Indigenous communities fits within a larger effort to acknowledge its colonial history and become a vital community focal point where people of all cultures feel a sense of belonging.

Position Summary
Reporting to the Co-Chief Curator, Art and Culture, the position will lead a collaborative approach to stewarding ROM’s Canadian Indigenous Art and Culture collection, creating exhibitions and presenting programs with Indigenous communities and for broad audiences. The newly created position will be a key voice in re-thinking colonial patterns of practice and centering Indigenous perspectives and will interpret ROM’s Canadian Indigenous Art and Culture collection in collaboration with communities through inclusive, transdisciplinary thinking, digital practices, and innovation. The Hatch Curator of Indigenous Art and Cultures (Curator) will lead the repatriation of Indigenous ancestral belongings through deep engagement with relevant communities, in close partnership with the Vettoretto Curator of North American Archaeology. The Curator will collaborate with ROM’s Learning Department and Indigenous Museum Educators to develop Indigenous-centred educational and outreach programming, including supporting the Ontario curriculum in First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Studies. The Curator will champion cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary perspectives to highlight the relevance of ROM’s collection of art, culture, and nature in contemporary societies, and have ambitions for a flourishing relationship between ROM and Indigenous communities.

Roles and Responsibilities

Vettoretto Curator of North American Archaeology - Royal Ontario Museum

The Organization
The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is a cultural institution that showcases art, culture, and nature from around the world and across the ages. Among the top 10 cultural institutions in North America and Canada’s largest and most comprehensive museum, ROM has a world-class collection of 13 million artworks, cultural objects, and natural history specimens, featured in 40 gallery and exhibition spaces. ROM's mission is to transform lives by helping people understand the past, make sense of the present, and come together to shape a shared future. The museum is known globally for expanding the boundaries of knowledge and presenting that knowledge in new and innovative ways within the intersecting worlds of art, culture, and nature. ROM's extensive exhibition schedule and public programs attract approximately 190,000 students and 1.3 million visitors or more in a typical year.

With one of the largest collections of Ontario archaeological heritage in the world, and excellent collections of Maya and Zapotec objects, ROM’s collection includes over 300,000 archaeological objects related to economy, subsistence, food preparation and consumption, spirituality and religion, and trade and exchange. As the country’s preeminent field research institute and an international leader in new discoveries, ROM works to build and share global collections, create knowledge, inspire learning, encourage gathering, and spark exchange on topics within the intersecting worlds of art, culture, and nature that matter to people and communities. The long-term vision of ROM is to become a distinctly 21st-century museum. ROM is known globally for playing a vital role in expanding the boundaries of knowledge, presenting that knowledge in new and innovative ways within the intersecting worlds of art, culture, and nature.

Community
Toronto, located on the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, is the largest city in Canada and the most diverse city on the planet (as designated by the United Nations) with over 50% of the population being foreign-born. The provincial capital of Ontario has a vibrant arts and culture scene, with over 164,000 culture jobs and numerous museums and performing arts organizations. Combining its original heritage architecture with the contemporary Daniel Libeskind-designed Michael Lee-Chin Crystal, ROM serves as a national landmark and a dynamic cultural destination in the heart of the city surrounded by universities, colleges, and specialized research centers.

Toronto was the first city in Canada to be designated as a UNESCO Creative City of Media Arts and is also the fastest-growing technology market in North America, with 80,100 jobs created—greater than the job growth in New York City, Seattle, and Boston combined. The city has also been undergoing a construction boom over the last decade. This increased commercial development is coinciding with major transportation upgrades, including the $640 million revitalization of Union Station, Canada’s busiest transportation hub. Toronto also plays a significant role in the global film industry, serving as home to an international film festival and as a filming location for numerous television shows and movies. With vibrant neighborhoods that offer both urban and suburban living options, quality schools, and access to over 50 kilometres of waterfront with beaches, parks, marinas, and waterfront trails; Toronto consistently ranks as one of the most livable cities in North America.

Toward a Deeper Indigenous Partnership
A top priority of ROM’s strategic direction is forging new and stronger relationships between Indigenous nations and communities, and museums. Indigenous people must have a leading voice in determining how their cultural heritage is cared for and shared.

ROM has recently appointed three key positions held by indigenous staff including the Hatch Curator of Indigenous Art & Culture, the first Indigenous Interpretive Planner in the Exhibitions Development department, and the Manager of Indigenous Learning and Programs. These positions, in collaboration with the Vettoretto Curator of North American Archaeology, play a critical and leading role in establishing protocols and practices for the care of Indigenous collections and cultural belongings, cultivating formal relationships with First Nations governments, developing exhibitions and galleries, and presenting Indigenous cultures. Recognizing ROM’s origins in colonial practices, the museum is expanding staff training and building internal capacity to create a welcoming work environment for Indigenous colleagues. The museum is in contract discussions with an Indigenous expert in policy and protocols to help us in this regard.

For over 35 years, ROM has worked with Indigenous communities to repatriate ancestors and objects of cultural patrimony from its collection. Over the course of the last year ROM hosted collection visits for 38 Indigenous groups and provided extended consultation with 19 Indigenous groups or individuals, as well as ongoing consultations.

Since 2014, ROM has offered a robust program of Indigenous education, led by Indigenous Museum Educators. This work has been guided by an Indigenous Advisory Circle. Indigenous learning remains the most in-demand school program offering at ROM.

Over decades, ROM’s Daphne Cockwell Gallery dedicated to First Peoples art and culture was developed with Indigenous consultation and partnership. In late 2022, however, ROM closed the Gallery, recognizing it needed to be rethought to further centre Indigenous perspectives. After a brief pause, ROM reopened the gallery and launched a series of updates led by two Indigenous Museum consultants. These ongoing changes put Indigenous voices in the lead and establish a new direction as the museum develops a fundraising plan for a more comprehensive gallery reinstallation and conducts searches to fill critical positions.

Position Summary
The Vettoretto Curator of North American Archaeology (Curator) will lead a collaborative approach to stewarding ROM’s North American, and especially Ontario, archaeology collection, creating exhibitions and presenting programs with Indigenous communities and for broad audiences, as well as undertaking research aligned with museum priorities. Leading the repatriation of Indigenous ancestral belongings through deep engagement with relevant communities, in close partnership with the Hatch Curator of Indigenous Art and Culture, along with the Indigenous Interpretive Planner and Indigenous Museum Educator, the position reports to the Co-Chief Curator, Art and Culture, and will be a key voice in rethinking colonial patterns of practice and centering Indigenous perspectives. An accomplished researcher, the Curator of North American Archaeology will propose and develop ground-breaking exhibitions and interpret ROM’s North American archaeology collection in collaboration with communities through inclusive, transdisciplinary thinking, digital practices, and innovation.

The Curator develops and cares for ROM’s Archaeological collection with a focus on North American cultural materials representing over 13,000 years of human history. The collection includes human remains, and continuing the appropriate return to communities is a top priority of the curatorship. The position will also collaborate with ROM’s Learning Department and Indigenous Museum Educators to develop indigenous-centered educational and outreach programming, including supporting the Ontario curriculum in First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Studies. The Curator will explore questions relevant to Canadian archaeology and throughout the contemporary world and will model inclusive interpretation of collections by a community of voices and viewpoints, acknowledging ROM as a forum rather than a sole authority.
