Vice President, Commercial & Business Development – CAMH

The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health is Canada’s largest mental health teaching hospital and a globally recognized leader in research, clinical care, education, and advocacy. At a pivotal moment of growth and opportunity, CAMH is seeking a Vice President, Commercial and Business Development to join the executive leadership team and help shape how the organization grows, sustains, and scales its impact while remaining deeply grounded in its mission, values, and responsibility to the people it serves.

This newly expanded executive role reports to the President and Chief Executive Officer and is responsible for leading CAMH’s commercial innovation and revenue generation strategy across the enterprise. The Vice President will design and execute a cohesive approach to business development that strengthens financial sustainability and unlocks the full potential of CAMH’s enterprise assets, including world-class clinical expertise, trusted education programs, and a powerful brand in mental health and addictions care, with a focus on non-research commercial opportunities. The mandate spans both immediate opportunities and longer-term strategic growth and requires a leader who is equally comfortable driving execution and shaping enterprise-level vision.

CAMH is experiencing meaningful growth, including the completion of a new research tower and the development of an event and collaboration space with significant commercial potential. The Vice President will play a central role in activating these assets by establishing platforms, securing partners and vendors, and developing business models aligned with CAMH’s mission and values. The opportunity is to bring coherence, strategic discipline, and ambition to this portfolio while thoughtfully exploring new models that respect CAMH’s culture and commitment to equity, access, and patient-centred care.

In this role, the Vice President will lead the development of diversified and scalable revenue streams across healthcare services, training and education, digital and professional services, and strategic partnerships. They will identify and evaluate new market opportunities, oversee financial stewardship and forecasting, and ensure that all commercial activity delivers measurable value while meeting the highest standards of regulatory compliance, ethics, and public accountability.

The role also demands exceptional leadership and influence. The Vice President will build, mentor, and lead a high-performing business development team while fostering strong collaboration across CAMH’s clinical, academic, operational, and foundation partners. Success depends on credibility, trust, and the ability to navigate complexity where revenue generation intersects with CAMH’s public mandate and values.

The ideal candidate brings deep experience in healthcare business development and a proven track record of driving revenue growth, structuring complex partnerships, and influencing at the most senior levels. They are entrepreneurial yet principled, commercially sophisticated while mission-driven, and genuinely passionate about mental health and the people CAMH serves. They understand how to work within highly regulated environments and how to lead cultural change with care.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of one of the world’s most respected mental health organizations. For a leader who believes in the power of innovation to expand access and impact, and who has the influence to help an organization think differently about how it sustains its mission, CAMH offers a role of extraordinary scope, purpose, and significance.
