About Toronto Metropolitan

For more than 75 years, Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly known as Ryerson University) has been shaping the next generation of leaders through its uniquely innovative, entrepreneurial and career-focused approach to higher education. Driven by bold leadership, cutting-edge research and a deep commitment to academic excellence, TMU collaborates with students, faculties, staff and partners to push boundaries, reimagine solutions and create meaningful change in an increasingly interconnected world.

For a more in-depth understanding of our vision, core values and ongoing work, please see our academic plan

TMU welcomes those who have demonstrated a commitment to upholding the values of equity, diversity, and inclusion and will assist us in realizing the benefits of embedding these values into the work at every level and in every unit of the university. In addition, to correct the conditions of disadvantage in employment in Canada and to bring lived experiences to the work, we encourage applications from members of equity deserving groups that have been historically disadvantaged and marginalized, including First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples in Canada, First Nations Peoples in the United States, racialized people, Black people, persons with disabilities, women, and 2SLGBTQ+ people. Preference will be given to candidates with lived experiences as people from equity deserving groups, as well as experience working with these communities with which the University works every day. Please note that all qualified candidates are encouraged to apply and we welcome newcomers and immigrants to Canada.

In April 2022, the university announced its new name of Toronto Metropolitan University. Learn more about our next chapter.

The team

The Office of Zone Learning & Strategic Initiatives leads programming and activities that help students develop innovation skills and mindsets that help open doors after graduation. Our collection of courses, job placements and training programs are offered alongside our world-leading startup incubator network. We bridge the gap between the university, industry and community, establishing TMU as Canada’s innovation university.

The Opportunity

Reporting directly to the Provost and Vice President, Academic, the AVP develops and operationalizes the strategic vision, framework, and integrated structure for TMU’s Zone Learning network (including the DMZ), The Dais, The Image Centre, and the Law Practice Program (LPP). This role drives institutional growth, elevates TMU's national and international reputation, and leads high-impact strategic projects and emerging initiatives related to experiential learning and social innovation across the university.

Strategic Planning: Establish a centralized zone network framework aligned with TMU’s Academic Plan. Define benchmarking metrics and operational models to ensure long-term sustainability, effectiveness, and collaborative innovation across all existing and emerging zones.
Zone Network Leadership: Provide operational, administrative, and financial leadership across the Zone Network, The Dais, The Image Centre, and the LPP. Direct change management processes and ensure organizational structures mitigate legal and reputational risks.
Strategic Networking & Relationship Building: Build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders, including faculty, industry partners, government ministries, non-profits, and international entities.
Venture & Partnership Development: Collaborate with DMZ Ventures to support startups with customer acquisition, market validation, and connections to investors and corporate advisors. Pursue revenue-generating initiatives and equity-focused programs (e.g., women in entrepreneurship).
Budget & Financial Oversight: Oversee annual operating budgets, enforce robust financial controls, safeguard university assets, ensure audit readiness, and manage fiscal risk for all reporting entities.
Operational Leadership: Direct non-academic and support services, manage critical paths for Provost-assigned strategic initiatives, and coordinate closely with central university administration (HR, Financial Services).
Team Management: Lead, mentor, and evaluate a direct-report team consisting of Zone Leaders, Executive Directors (The Dais, LPP, Strategic Partnerships), Directors (The Image Centre, Programs and Strategy), and departmental staff.

Acts with Integrity: Demonstrates behaviors aligned with high ethical standards and personal integrity and acts in accordance with TMU values.
Builds Relationships of Trust & Collaboration: Actively builds a culture of trust and fosters meaningful relationships.
