Women’s College Hospital acknowledge that the land we work and meet on is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit.
For more than 100 years, Women’s College Hospital (WCH) has been developing revolutionary advances in healthcare and continues to build on this rich legacy established by its founders – courageous pioneers who refused to accept the status quo. Today WCH is still shaped by leaders who break down barriers in the pursuit of equity and excellence for the 21st century.
WCH is a world leader in health for women, health equity and health system solutions – a hospital designed to keep people out of hospital. WCH is developing ground-breaking innovations that address issues related to population health, patient experience and system costs. WCH advocates for health equity because it knows that a healthy society requires a level playing field where everyone has access to timely, high quality, efficient and compassionate care.
As WCH advances Healthcare Revolutionized 2030 , its people and culture are central to realizing its bold vision for the future of healthcare. It is within this context that WCH is seeking its next Vice President, People and Culture & CHRO (VP & CHRO).
Reporting to the President and CEO, the VP & CHRO provides business insight and strategic leadership for the Hospital’s people practices. As a trusted member of the Executive team, the VP & CHRO influences strategic decision-making, champions WCH's mission, vision and values, and helps shape the organizational conditions that enable people and teams to thrive. The portfolio encompasses Human Resources, Payroll, Occupational Health, Safety & Wellness, Infection Prevention and Control, People Equity, Diversity & Inclusivity, Volunteer Resources, Organizational and Talent Development, and Legal Services.
At the heart of this mandate is a commitment to supporting and enhancing the impact and well-being of WCH's most important asset, its people. The VP & CHRO defines and oversees the implementation of WCH’s People Strategy and aligns people team activities with organizational priorities. The VP & CHRO serves as a trusted advisor on human resources and people management matters and fosters an environment where employees can contribute, develop, and thrive.
Externally, the VP & CHRO builds relationships across the broader health system, represents the Hospital at key external tables, and works with system partners, government and peer organizations to advance WCH’s strategic priorities and its vision of healthcare revolutionized for a healthier and more equitable world.
As an ideal candidate, you are an accomplished executive with significant experience leading complex people and culture portfolios in a large, multifaceted organization. You bring a proven record of advancing organizational effectiveness, workforce planning, talent development, employee engagement, labour relations, and equity, diversity and inclusion. Others describe your leadership approach as collaborative, empowering, and values-driven, and you are known as an authentic leader who builds high-performing teams. You are an intentional steward of organizational culture, skilled at embedding a shared culture while preserving the values and qualities that make it distinctive. You have strong business acumen, sound judgment, outstanding communication skills, and a reputation for integrity. You are also recognized for your superior relationship management skills. You have the ability to work effectively with a broad range of partners both internally and across the broader health system, and represent WCH at local, provincial, and system-level tables. Candidates must have demonstrated commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging. Graduate-level education is considered an asset, and a Certified Human Resources Executive (CHRE) designation or equivalent is preferred.

The Ontario Medical Association (OMA) represents approximately 50,000 physicians, medical students and retired physicians across the province. Founded in 1880, the OMA advocates for the medical profession, negotiates physician compensation and agreements with the Ontario government, and provides services that support physicians in their practices and careers. The OMA also plays a central role in shaping health care in Ontario and is one of Canada’s most influential provincial medical associations.
The opportunity
We’re looking for an accomplished physician leader to help shape how the OMA supports, serves and engages Ontario’s physicians. This newly created role brings together key areas of the OMA’s work to deliver a more connected experience for members. As Executive Vice-President, Member Experience and Physician Services (EVP), you will lead a cross-functional team of experts responsible for improving the member experience, delivering services that support physicians in their careers and practices, creating meaningful ways for physicians to participate in the OMA and helping physicians navigate changes arising from new health system policies, programs and models of care. Reporting to the CEO, you will develop an integrated member experience strategy that strengthens physicians’ trust in the OMA, demonstrates the value of membership at every career stage and creates meaningful opportunities for physicians to connect, collaborate and lead.
What you bring
You will be an accomplished physician leader who can build trusted relationships and lead effectively in a highly complex and evolving environment. A clear communicator and experienced people leader, you will bring strong political and governance acumen and work effectively with physicians, system partners and other diverse stakeholders. Drawing on your experience leading significant transformation, member engagement or service delivery initiatives, you will turn insights into effective strategies and services and bring cross-functional teams together around shared goals. You are motivated by the opportunity to strengthen Ontario’s physician community and lead through influence as the health care system continues to evolve.
Experience and qualifications
An MD or equivalent medical degree is strongly preferred, given the importance of credibility with physicians and a deep understanding of the medical profession. The OMA will also consider candidates with a university degree in health administration, business, public policy, communications or a related field, combined with significant senior leadership experience. An MBA, MHA or comparable graduate degree is an asset. Candidates must have substantial executive experience leading a complex portfolio focused on services, membership, health care or stakeholder engagement. They must also understand Ontario’s health care system, governance and the issues affecting physicians, patients and the broader healthcare system.
To apply, please contact Boyden partners Pamela Colquhoun and Jim Stonehouse through Kathy Luu, senior associate, at kluu@boyden.com .
The successful candidate is expected to begin in January 2027.
