OUR MISSION: THE CAMPAIGN TO CREATE TOMORROW

The Ottawa Hospital Foundation has launched the historic $500 million Campaign to Create Tomorrow, a multi-year campaign to support the construction of a new state-of-the-art hospital on Carling Avenue, as well as world-leading medical research. It’s the largest ever fundraising campaign in our region’s history, representing an ambitious vision for the future of healthcare.

“I came from the private sector and was lacking fulfillment. My job was focused on the bottom-line – to make money for a corporation. The Foundation was a welcome change. I connect with the cause, and my work actually matters.”- Natasha De Sousa, Development Officer

The Campaign To Create Tomorrow already has overwhelming community support. Our team of fundraisers have raised $318m since launching the campaign 4 years ago, which includes some of the largest-ever donations in our city’s history.

In this position, you will provide assistance to the Executive Assistant in all aspects of the administration of the Office of the CEO, such as:

• Perform general meeting support and calendar management for the Executive Office. This includes identifying/resolving calendar conflicts, booking meetings, and communicating meeting information to attendees (e.g., agenda, location, parking, and other relevant attachments).

• Manage the planning, coordination, and execution of in-person meetings involving the President & CEO (e.g., booking rooms/venues, audio-visual set-up/testing, and coordinating food/catering).

• Manage and plan the President & CEO’s travel.

• Provide general administrative support to the Executive Office team, including processing invoices, coordinating signatures, tracking and gathering receipts, submitting timesheets, and drafting agendas/meeting materials for staff meetings.

• Retrieve donor and prospect information from Raiser’s Edge (our CRM database), in preparation for meetings attended by the President & CEO.

• Update Raiser’s Edge to capture all meetings/phone calls with donors.

• Prepare routine correspondence and adhere to communication timelines.

• Monitor the President & CEO’s public-facing email, and triage/organize accordingly.

• Track action items on behalf on the President & CEO and ensure their timely completion.

• Provide superior customer service to all TOHF partners (e.g., donors, prospects, volunteers, hospital partners, etc.) through email, telephone, and in-person.

• Complete in-person shifts of our reception area, an average once per week.

Knowledge, skills, abilities:

• Nimbleness is key to this role, as our Associate will need to continually reprioritize work as new requests are made of their team.

• Superior organizational skills.

• Exceptional interpersonal skills, and the ability to build/maintain relationships with core collaborators.

• Strong communication skills, particularly the ability to communicate clearly and concisely.

• Superior attention to detail.

• Discretion and confidentiality in handling sensitive information.
