Chief Executive Officer

Fighting Blindness Canada (FBC) leads the fight against blindness by raising and directing funds to vision research. With approximately 1 in 5 Canadians having an eye disease that puts them at risk of vision loss, FBC’s work is critical. As Canada’s leading private funder of vision research, FBC offers hope to Canadians by identifying the best, most promising research that is driving treatments and cures for blinding eye diseases, and by raising and stewarding funds to support this essential, sight-saving research. Over its 49-year history, it has invested over $40 million to support vision research and education across Canada: providing over 200 research grants that have led to over 600 new discoveries in areas such as stem cell research, neuroprotective therapies, technological developments, pharmaceuticals, and gene therapies.
Founded in 1974 as the Retinitis Pigmentosa Foundation of Canada, the organization rebranded in 2000 to Foundation Fighting Blindness and expanded its mission beyond rare inherited retinal diseases to include age-related macular degeneration. Its long-term focus on funding vision research steadily demonstrated that a discovery about one disease often reveals important insights about another. These meaningful interconnections inspired and informed the expansion of its mission to include all blinding eye diseases, and in 2019 the organization became Fighting Blindness Canada. Click here for a copy of FBC’s 2022 Impact Report.
It is within this context that Fighting Blindness Canada welcomes applications and nominations for the appointment of its next Chief Executive Officer.
Reporting to the Chair and Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is the senior leader of the FBC team and is passionate about improving healthcare and reducing vision loss for all Canadians.

This includes working with the Board and the FBC senior staff as well as volunteers to manage and develop new financial resources, raise awareness of the FBC and its mission, and manage human resources and governance structures for the organization.
The CEO is the champion of the vision for the organization, engaging and inspiring others to achieve mission goals, working closely with staff and volunteer leadership to develop and provide oversight for fundraising events and initiatives. The CEO plays a significant role in identifying, evaluating, and developing new sources of potential funding to grow the FBC’s revenue to increase its research grants, including FBC’s Transformative Research Capital Campaign. The CEO liaises with the vision research and scientific community in Canada and internationally, including attending meetings of the FBC’s Scientific Review Panels and its Mission Investment Steering Committee as well as overseeing the allocation of research grants. The CEO manages all financial and human resources ensuring adherence to sound operations practices, legislation and Board directives as well as setting clear, results-oriented, realistic, and measurable goals for staff. The CEO oversees all governance activities pertaining to the FBC including inspiring, engaging, and managing the continual and dynamic involvement of Board Members, and together with the Chair of the Board, oversees plans for Board renewal and succession, as appropriate.
As the ideal candidate, you are a proven leader who has experience with human and financial resources, strategic planning and implementation, board governance, community engagement, and fundraising and capital campaign activities from either a professional or a volunteer capacity. You have progressive experience in a complex environment. Professional or lived experience gained in research intensive and/or healthcare related organizations is required.

Provost and Vice-President, Academic

Guided by a bold Academic Plan, an ambitious research agenda, and a Master Plan to revitalize the campus and surrounding neighbourhood, Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) is among the most applied-to universities in Ontario and its reputation with business and community leaders continues to rise. TMU offers more than 125 undergraduate and graduate programs. Culturally diverse and inclusive, the university is home to more than 48,000 students, including nearly 3,000 master’s and PhD students, over 3,800 faculty and staff, and more than 200,000 alumni worldwide. From 2015 to 2019, TMU was named one of the Top GTA employers and one of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers.
TMU’s programs combine the foundational knowledge of a discipline with real-world experiential learning experiences and the development of life skills such as self-confidence to take calculated risks and creativity to generate new ideas. Effective communication, critical thinking, and resourceful problem-solving skills are emphasized across programs. Cross-cultural competence and a deep appreciation of the linguistic and cultural diversity of the campus and the city help students become responsible and engaged global citizens. Research at TMU is on a trajectory of success and growth: externally funded research has more than doubled in the past four years. A solid foundation of scholarly, research and creative (SRC) excellence has resulted in the University experiencing outstanding success in the Research Infosource 20-year retrospective where it placed first in total comprehensive university income growth, second in not-for-profit research income growth, and third in corporate research income growth.
TMU cherishes its role as a city-builder and continues to reshape the downtown core of Toronto. The University has opened a series of new buildings including the Mattamy Athletic Centre at Maple Leaf Gardens, the Image Centre, the Sheldon and Tracy Levy Student Learning Centre, the Centre for Urban Innovation, and the Daphne Cockwell Health Sciences Complex. In Fall 2020, TMU opened its doors to the first cohort of law students, establishing TMU’s new Lincoln Alexander School of Law that will provide leading-edge education with a focus on contemporary issues. And in March 2022, the Province of Ontario confirmed its support for TMU’s proposed school of medicine, which will house 80 medical school seats for undergraduate students and 95 postgraduate seats.
