About the Role
• This is a roll-up-your-sleeves, multi-hat position on a small but mighty IT team. You’ll lead projects end-to-end — from business analysis to development, from documentation to deployment, and even training and support.
• Note: if you have extensive experience in large corporations and/or government this role is likely not a good fit.
You’ll be the go-to for:
• Bridging business and technology
• Delivering technical solutions
• Supporting internal systems that help drive revenue and fund our community work
You’ll need enterprise-level thinking, but with the hands-on hustle of a small team. This is a great opportunity for someone who loves variety, impact, and mission-aligned work.
Key Responsibilities:
• Lead business analysis activities: gather requirements, run workshops, create user stories, and define technical specs
• Translate complex needs into functional systems, dashboards, scripts, or automated workflows
• Serve as Scrum Master and project manager — lead standups, manage timelines, and facilitate sprints
• Configure, support, or develop light applications and integrations
• Lead or support QA, UAT, bug triage, and change management
• Produce training materials and deliver user training sessions
• Write clear technical and user-facing documentation
• Collaborate with national and provincial stakeholders across Canada to ensure solutions support frontline operations
What you Bring:
• 5+ years in a hybrid role spanning BA, project delivery, and technical work
• Experience with nonprofits, social enterprises, or mission-driven organizations is a plus
• Strong working knowledge of Microsoft 365, Power Platform, SharePoint, or CRM platforms
• Experience with low-code tools, APIs, or scripting for automation and integration
• Comfortable managing projects and acting as a Scrum Master or Agile PM
• Excellent communication skills — you can “talk tech” and “speak human” in the same breath
• Highly independent, organized, and resourceful
• Experience facilitating, negotiating, and communicating to an audience in their “language.”
• Ability to communicate with political nuance, sensitivity and can “read a room” (high EQ).
Bonus Points For:
• Experience in the health & safety, training, or volunteer sector
• Familiarity with nonprofit CRMs, grant reporting, or community program data
• Certifications (CBAP, CSM, PMP) are welcome but not required
Why Join St. John Ambulance?
• Work that matters — your technical solutions will directly support programs that save lives, comfort the vulnerable, and empower volunteers
• Impact at scale — we serve Canadians coast to coast, but you’ll work in a tight-knit team where your contributions are visible and valued
• Diverse projects — no two days are the same, and you’ll be trusted to lead projects from idea to launch
• Mission-driven culture — we’re collaborative, compassionate, and committed to excellence
Employment Equity

Apply
• Please submit your resume and a brief, cover letter outlining your motivations for applying and how your skills and experience fit the key requirements of this position, along with your salary expectations and earliest start date.
