You will use your exceptional organizational, administrative and creative skills to provide efficiency and rapid response while supporting our internal Program units.

We are looking for someone who is both a doer and thinker, an organizational ninja, with the agility, mindfulness, and preparedness to ensure that all trains are running on time.

• You understand the art of making meetings participative and effective. You can set all the right coordinates for a meeting or event to take place and produce results. 
• Reaching out to new and potential clients to share information on HSO’s programs and services.

• College or Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent experience. 
• 2+ years of progressive and varied experience in program administration, communications and/or client services. 
• French-English bilingualism. Your key portfolio may include our valued Quebec clients, therefore –the ability to communicate seamlessly in French is absolutely key, both oral and written. 
• A proven ability to work under pressure while juggling multiple priorities and deadlines.  
• Detail-oriented. You’ve heard this before, but we can’t stress it enough: the devil is in the details. You notice big and little mistakes and are comfortable reviewing the work of your team and accepting the thorough review of your own work. 
• Accountability and Ownership. Examples of when you have stepped up, taken ownership and ran with it.  It can be on a big or small scale, professional or volunteer, but have examples where you demonstrated accountability.
