The OSC is an agency of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport.

In this critical leadership role, and as an executive within the Ontario Public Service (OPS), you will:
• Be a visionary: by leading the OSC on its transformational journey of new exhibit selection and development, marketing, outreach and business initiatives to ensure revenue and market share growth, financial sustainability and strong value for money.
• Champion service excellence: by driving modernization, digital transformation and customer experience excellence.
• Be forward focused: by providing leadership in the development of an organization that encourages and promotes diverse ideas and is nimble, innovative and user-focused.
• Model leadership: by leading through example and building a positive organizational environment, that promotes a culture of and demonstrates a commitment to excellence, diversity, inclusion, accessibility and equity, all while creating a work environment that enables all employees to contribute fully to the goals of the organization.
• Establish partnerships: by marketing and promoting the OSC’s vision and strategic plan to engage donors, sponsors and volunteers and by cultivating joint ventures with partners to enhance OSC mindshare and deepen the Centre’s contribution to science and technology engagement and education.
• Be responsive: by formulating and executing a business plan to thrive in a rapidly changing environment and to advance the Province’s objectives and priorities, while providing timely and high-quality support to the OSC Board and Deputy Minister and meeting the accountability requirements of a senior public servant.
