We’re seeking an accounting professional to join our Terry Fox Research Institute (TFRI) Finance department as the Project Financial Analyst . Reporting to the Director of Finance, this position will play a key role in overseeing the financial health of the current major TFRI projects: The Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network (MOHCCN) and The Digital Health and Discovery Platform (DHDP) . The successful candidate will act as a business partner to project leads, providing up to date data and project insights to support strategic decision making. The ideal candidate is someone who has exceptional attention to financial and reporting details, strong communication and relationship-building skills, and relishes taking on complex challenges.
The Terry Fox Research Institute (TFRI), named for Canadian icon Terry Fox , is built on Terry's dream to end cancer through research. Established in 2007, TFRI is a registered charity and invests its funds in cutting-edge cancer research through highly collaborative, team-oriented programs and national research networks. Over the past 20 years, TFRI has grown to become a leader in the Canadian cancer research landscape and expanded its portfolio to include two national game-changing projects: The Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network (MOHCCN) and The Digital Health and Discovery Platform (DHDP) .
Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network (MOHCCN) is a bold initiative focused on bringing together top researchers working at cancer hospitals and research centres across Canada to accelerate the implementation of precision oncology medicine. Due to the success in Phase 1 of the project, MOHCCN has recently been renewed for Phase 2 and will look at broadening our reach to Canadians in rural and indigenous communities. Meanwhile, The Digital Health and Discovery Platform (DHDP) is a federated data-sharing and AI software product development project for advancing disease research where critical health data is resident at multiple institutions across Canada. This project sits at the intersection of healthcare and artificial intelligence and is among the first of its kind globally.
Supporting both of these initiatives means you will be working at the forefront of cancer research and innovation in Canada.
