Director Remote Health Informatics Jobs in Toronto, ON

Who we are

We’re not your typical non-profit. We bring swagger to everything we do. That means we move with purpose in every step, driven by our commitment to putting our community at the centre of our work. Every day, we ask ourselves to see possibility where others see limits. Because people with Parkinson’s and care partners deserve better. Better care, more inclusive research and access to treatment and supports that make living well possible.

Our mission is to empower and inspire people living with Parkinson’s and their care partners to live fully and courageously. Through community support, advocacy, and research, we encourage others to see a diagnosis not as a dimming of light, but a spark for a new beginning.

Move forward. Together. On Mission.

Who we need

Reporting to the VP, Mission, we are hiring a Director, Partnerships and Ecosystems. In this newly created role, you will lead the development and execution of Parkinson Canada’s partnership strategy, building and managing a network of partners across healthcare, community, government, and the private sector to strengthen outcomes and improve access to care. You will bring structure and clarity to how partnerships are identified, prioritized, and activated, ensuring they are aligned to our mission and deliver meaningful outcomes for the Parkinson’s community.

This existing vacancy is a remote-based role, with in-person time required for partner meetings. Travel is expected approximately 20% of the time, primarily within the Toronto area with some across Canada.

What’s in it for you:

Impact at scale. You will play a direct role in transforming how people across Canada access support, care, information and strengthening partnerships that improve care navigation and create more connected pathways to the services people need.

Shape, expand, and scale the ecosystem. Parkinson Canada has an established foundation of partnerships. You will build on this by evolving, developing, and activating new and existing relationships and ensuring focus on the partnerships that will deliver the greatest reach, access, and impact.

Connect across a broader ecosystem. You will work across healthcare, community, government, and private sector partners, as well as alongside provincial Parkinson organizations and international foundations, extending impact through collaboration at multiple levels.

A different kind of non-profit, grounded in real lives. This is a team actively challenging the status quo - bringing a more dynamic, tech-forward, and outcomes-driven approach to the sector. You will be part of a leadership group that values clarity, accountability, and momentum, building partnerships that are practical, community-informed, and designed to make a meaningful difference every day.

As our new Director, Partnerships and Ecosystems, you will:

• Lead partnership strategy and scale impact. You will define and execute Parkinson Canada’s partnership strategy, building and managing a portfolio of partners that expand reach, improve access, and strengthen outcomes for the Parkinson’s community.
• Shape and activate a high-impact ecosystem. You will assess, prioritize, and develop partnerships across healthcare, community, government, and private sector organizations, building relationships that are purposeful, aligned, and designed to deliver meaningful outcomes.
• Translate strategy into practical models. You will turn ideas into clear partnership approaches, defining how partners engage, how success is measured, and how collaborations are structured and scaled. You will establish standards for governance, risk, and partner experience.
• Connect people to care through partnerships. You will develop and evolve tools, pathways, and approaches that connect people living with Parkinson’s to trusted partners—improving how individuals access and navigate support across a fragmented system.
• Leverage insight to evolve and expand. You will use data, partner feedback, and system insights to identify gaps, refine the partnership approach, and continuously strengthen and expand the ecosystem across Canada and internationally.

What you bring:

• The experience. You have built and managed partnerships across healthcare, community, government, or private sector organizations. You understand how to develop and grow a portfolio of partners that extends reach, improves access, and delivers meaningful outcomes.
• The ability to operationalize partnerships. You translate ideas into clear, practical partnership models -  structuring agreements, referral pathways, or collaboration approaches that can be implemented, measured, and scaled.
• The judgment. You bring a thoughtful, outcomes-driven approach to partnerships. You know how to assess opportunities, prioritize where to focus, and make trade-offs based on impact, feasibility, and organizational capacity.
• The governance and rigour. You understand the importance of structure in partnerships. You have experience working within or establishing frameworks related to due diligence, risk, privacy, and brand alignment, ensuring partnerships are sustainable and scalable.
• The leadership. You have experience leading or mentoring others, setting direction, and creating clarity. You support teams in working effectively with partners and contribute to a culture of accountability and follow-through.
• The stakeholder leadership and communication. You build trust and influence across a wide range of partners. You translate internal priorities into clear external narratives, manage relationships at all levels, and bring stakeholders along in a shared direction.
• The adaptability. You thrive in fast-moving, evolving environments where not everything is defined on day one. You are comfortable working across teams, shifting priorities, and engaging in person when needed to support collaboration and delivery.
