• Typically 5+ years of relevant experience securing and managing government or institutional funding, including grant writing, funding applications, and relationship management.
• Hands-on experience with Canadian non-dilutive funding programs such as IRAP, SR&ED, SDTC, or other provincial and federal innovation and research programs.
• Experience coordinating SR&ED claims or similar funding cycles, including working with R&D or Engineering teams and external advisors.
• Strong ability to translate technical, financial, and business information into clear and compelling funding applications, proposals, and executive-level updates.
• Strong stakeholder and project management skills, with the ability to coordinate across technical, commercial, finance, and leadership teams.
• Business development, partnership development, or external stakeholder engagement experience.
• Knowledge of the Quebec and/or federal innovation funding ecosystem is a strong asset.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with demonstrated proposal or grant-writing experience.
• English required; French proficiency is considered an asset.

What’s In it For You:
