The Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC) is entering a transformative new chapter. As Canada's national certification body for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, PEBC has spent more than 60 years protecting the public through rigorous, nationally recognized assessment and certification standards. Today, under new leadership and with an ambitious vision for the future, PEBC is investing in technology as a strategic enabler of innovation, growth, and organizational impact.

 

PEBC is seeking a visionary and accomplished Vice President, Technology to lead its digital transformation agenda and help redefine how professional competency is assessed across the career lifecycle. Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer and serving as a member of the Senior Management Team, the Vice President will shape and execute the organization's technology strategy, modernize its digital platforms, strengthen cybersecurity and data capabilities, and identify innovative opportunities—including AI—to enhance assessment integrity, candidate experience, and operational excellence.

 

This is a unique opportunity to build the technology foundation for a national organization with a critical public mandate. The successful candidate will oversee enterprise technology, digital products, architecture, cybersecurity, infrastructure, data platforms, and project delivery while partnering closely with regulators, educators, technology providers, and professional stakeholders across Canada.
