Chief Financial Officer

TRIUMF

Location : Vancouver, BC

TRIUMF is Canada’s particle accelerator centre and one of the world's leading laboratories for particle and nuclear physics, radio-life sciences, and accelerator-based science.

TRIUMF is an international centre for discovery and innovation, advancing fundamental, applied and interdisciplinary research for science, medicine and business.

From the hunt for the smallest particles in the universe to research that advances the next generation of batteries or develops isotopes to diagnose and treat disease, TRIUMF drives more than scientific discovery.

Owned by 21 Canadian universities, TRIUMF’s community of nearly 600 multidisciplinary researchers, engineers, technicians, tradespeople, staff and students create a unique incubator for Canadian excellence, as well as a portal to premier global collaborations.

The diversity of the team, and its highly inclusive culture make for a highly fertile scientific environment.

The Canadian government has sent a strong signal of support for Canadian science with an unprecedented $399.8M in funding for TRIUMF, as announced in the 2024 federal budget.

The funding, which represents the largest investment in laboratory operations to date, will enable TRIUMF’s national and international research communities to advance critical research and innovation, including the development of isotope-based cures for cancer and illuminating the form and function of our Universe using accelerator-produced isotopes.

The funding supports TRIUMF operations from 2025-2030 and will significantly advance the laboratory’s world-leading science programs.

The CFO reports to the Executive Director and CEO and will oversee TRIUMF’s financial management and supply chain functions and work as a key member of the Senior Leadership team.

As the ideal candidate you are a highly future-focused financial leader with expert skills in forecasting, budgeting and change management.

You bring a track record of introducing tools and processes to better collect and manage data, build financial capacity and forecasting across the organisation, and you excel in the somewhat fluid environment that is scientific discovery.

Your experience may have been gained in an analogous organisation, but may come from a post-secondary, a crown corporation, or other complex organisation with a rich stakeholder environment.

TRIUMF is located on the south campus of the University of British Columbia, in the heart of beautiful Pacific Spirit Park in Vancouver, BC.
