Variety… with focus! CDI works with a wide variety of people in the cancer centre from patients, caregivers, physicians, nurses, admin staff, hospital leadership, and external partners to develop, pilot, iterate, and scale new services… all with a focus to make cancer care delivery better for patients and providers.
Experimentation and iteration: CDI is a place to play, learn, and hone your data-informed product management skills in the wild – we’re excited for team members to bring their ideas, and new approaches, and to try new things.
Thought leadership: We are working at the leading edge of healthcare innovation and are excited to share our knowledge. While publishing and speaking at conferences is not our driving motivation, sharing our work and success is important.
Flexibility: You can be flexible with your hours and working location – as long as the work gets done, and you are communicating often with team members, it’s up to you when and how. That said, hospital staff does work during clinic hours, so you will need to be flexible as well, as some on-site work is required. Also, we have a beautiful new space downtown Toronto, and we meet as a team at least 1 day every 2 weeks.
