Senior Program Manager, Edelman Public & Government Affairs (Toronto)

Edelman is a voice synonymous with trust, reimagining a future where the currency of communication is action. Our culture thrives on three promises: boldness is possibility, empathy is progress, and curiosity is momentum.

At Edelman, we understand diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) transform our colleagues, our company, our clients, and our communities. We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging.

Edelman’s public and government affairs team of consultants are trusted and experienced public affairs advisors—including former government officials, political advisors, policy and regulatory experts, lawyers, economists, and industry professionals.

Their experience within national, regional, and global government and regulatory systems allows us to help our clients understand and engage with them effectively. We help our clients engage with government, politics, policy, and regulation to help them earn trust and achieve success. Across North and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific, our teams are rooted firmly in local markets and local public affairs, and work together across regions and internationally to provide regional and global perspectives.

Our best-in-class consultants ensure our services are business-driven and add value for clients through their insight and impact. We work seamlessly with Edelman’s 6,000+ other world-class communications professionals to integrate Edelman’s unparalleled suite of services—public and media relations, brand, marketing, digital advocacy, data analytics, and more—to add further value in building client confidence and stakeholder trust.

Senior Program Managers support client strategy development, monitor issues, manage projects, coordinate intern research, and produce first round deliverables for clients as assigned. Senior Program Managers also support research and issues monitoring for new business and thought leadership development. Senior Program Managers report to Senior Vice Presidents and can oversee senior analysts and research associates.

We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t perfectly align with every qualification, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
