Canada's Free Agents
Talent Manager
Ottawa, Canada Area
In my role as Talent Manager for Canada's Free Agents, I am responsible for managing and coordinating a small team of Innovation Entrepreneurs in the Public Service of Canada. The Free Agent program is a pilot designed to test the viability of a cloud-based talent model. In this model, standard hierarchal structures are augmented with a cloud-based talent workforce that allows departments to manage costs and deliver results in a rapidly adaptable way.

My responsibilities include:
- Managing all finance, human resources, and information technology needs of the program and its participants;
- Liasing with managers across the Public Service who participate, or wish to participate in the program;
- Weekly briefings of senior management (ADM and DG) on the status of the program;
- Testing assumptions about talent development and mobility in the Public Service and tracking barriers to innovation in these areas.
