Description

CPA Ontario is not like other organizations

We operate at a rare intersection, both regulator and membership body, responsible for upholding the integrity of the CPA designation while supporting more than 105,000 members and 19,000 students across the province. Our work sits between business and the public interest, between the evolving demands of industry and the standards that make trust possible.

Careers built here tend to look different because the work itself is different. You are not simply contributing to an organization. You are helping shape a profession that touches nearly every sector of the economy at a moment when expectations, technology, and the nature of work are all being rewritten.

About This Opportunity:

As Conference Content Manager, you will lead the research, planning and development of CPA Ontario's Career development offerings, with priority on the strategy and execution of the Conference Portfolio. You will translate market research, member feedback and regulatory developments into conference themes, agendas and current learning products, then extend that content into seminars, certificates and on-demand learning. You will build and own the network of speakers, advisors, industry leaders, regulators and academics behind the programming, and partner with Marketing, Events, Operations, Sponsorship and Product across the full product lifecycle.

This is an opportunity for a curious, well-connected content professional who works at the intersection of research, relationship building and program design, and who wants a portfolio with real commercial accountability.
