Horizon McGill Office seeks internal applicants

What is Horizon McGill? 

In February, Provost Manfredi and VP (Administration & Finance) Labeau launched Horizon McGill, one of several measures needed to address McGill’s financial situation. 

Fundamentally though, Horizon McGill isn’t about our budget. It’s about leveraging our strengths, making the most of what we have and making our academic and administrative activities more sustainable. Among other things, that means quicker and simpler processes, less red tape, economies of scale and better ways of working. Not doing more with less – because in many cases we’re already doing too much – but doing better with less, as measured by the impact of our work on the advancement of our goals. 

These efforts will indeed help stabilize our budget, but they will also make McGill a better place to work and study. Most importantly, they will secure the long-term success of our academic mission. 

What will HM’s Program Management Office do? 

To achieve these goals Horizon McGill will need a small team, temporarily seconded from their regular duties elsewhere at the University. 

These four employees will coordinate efforts, drive and measure change, scale our successes and celebrate our progress along the way.  

What positions are available? 

To limit salary costs and leverage the institutional knowledge of our workforce, these positions are open only to current staff. External candidates will not be considered. 

• Senior Change Management Advisor 
  Will help lead change across the University, touching upon organizational structures, business processes, and more. 

• Senior Communications Advisor 
  Will develop and implement communication plans to support Horizon McGill and our community as a whole. 

• Data Analyst 
  Will provide expertise in program design, process optimization, change management and analytics – tracking and analyzing metrics, compiling reports and communicating progress.  

• Administrative Officer 
  Will provide administrative and logistical support to help Horizon McGill run smoothly. 

The deadline to apply to these positions is April 25, 2025.
