• Manage project governance, risk, evaluation, and reporting aligned with federal government funding requirements.
• Directly supervise a high-performing team and oversee external partnerships, subcontracted deliverables, and internal collaboration across LFA departments.
• Ensure resource development aligns with evidence-based practice and reflects lived experiences through inclusive consultation.
• Report on program progress to the LFA Executive, funders, and national advisory committees.
• Represent the program at national events and community forums as a key voice for equity in cancer screening access.
