Description

We are seeking a highly motivated Sr. Strategy Manager, Fibre Municipal Engagement (Quebec) to lead TELUS’ government and community relations strategy across our Quebec fibre build program. This role is the primary bridge between TELUS’ fibre construction program and the municipalities, permit offices, and government bodies that enable builds to proceed on plan.

As the fibre lead for municipal engagement, you will build and maintain trusted relationships across government entities while unifying multiple internal teams. You will be accountable for creating a cohesive, proactive municipal engagement strategy that protects build timelines, unlocks new communities, and positions TELUS as a trusted partner in every market we enter.

Advanced knowledge of English is required because you will most of the time interact in English with external parties (clients, suppliers, candidates, external partners, etc.), interact in English with internal parties (colleagues, internal partners, stakeholders, etc.), and work with IT tools whose interface is only accessible in English as part of this position’s main responsibilities given its national scope.

Key Responsibilities

- Build and Own a Fibre Municipal Engagement Strategy – Develop and govern a unified, proactive approach to municipal and government relations across all Quebec TELUS fibre build markets – establishing TELUS as a single, coordinated voice with municipalities.

- Enable and Accelerate Eastern Build Pipeline – Lead municipal engagement for the Eastern Canada fibre build pipeline.



Navigate sophisticated competitive positioning against established incumbents in current markets.
- Manage Permitting and Regulatory Coordination – Oversee permit acquisition processes with municipal and utility stakeholders, track regulatory changes (e.g., provincial infrastructure legislation) impacting build timelines, and proactively resolve permitting risks before they affect construction schedules.
- Coordinate with Build and GTM Teams – Serve as the key interlock between municipal engagement activities and the broader Fibre Community Enablement team, ensuring municipal readiness aligns with construction timelines and Go‑To‑Market activation triggers.
- Produce Intelligence and Executive Briefings – Maintain a regional stakeholder map of political decision‑makers, monitor election cycles and policy changes, and produce detailed briefing packages for municipal government meetings and executive escalations.

Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Public Administration, Political Science, Urban Planning, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
- 5+ years of experience in government relations, municipal affairs, infrastructure development, or telecom/fibre build programs
