About Us:

At Voilà, we're not just imagining the future of education-we're building it. As a bold social enterprise, we operate at the intersection of impact and innovation through two interconnected entities with one shared mission. Voilà, our non-profit organization, partners with schools, communities, and governments to expand equitable access to education across Canada through community-driven programs and national initiatives. ConnectED Labs, our tech startup, serves as our innovation engine-designing immersive, experiential learning tools using metaverse and AI technologies.

Together, we're on a mission to make learning more accessible, human, and engaging-whether it's through community-led initiatives or cutting-edge platforms

like MetaProf ( ), MetaLingo ( metalingo.ca ), and inPerson ( ). These avatar-based experiential learning technologies are transforming how students and professionals connect, learn, and grow in the virtual world.

Position Snapshot: We're hiring a Program & Project Manager to help lead the next stage of Voilà's national and international growth. You'll drive the expansion of key initiatives like MetaProf, MetaLingo, and other legacy and emerging programs that support educators, students, and enterprises through immersive, AI-enabled professional development environments. While one of our core challenges is bilingual teacher retention, this role goes far beyond that single focus. You'll help shape a growing portfolio of education technology and training programs, working with school boards, Ministries of Education, and global partners to transform how learning happens, from teacher training to student engagement. And the best part - you don't need to be bilingual yourself!

At Voilà, we're tackling some of Canada's most pressing education challenges-from bilingual teacher retention to equitable access to immersive, future-ready learning-and we're looking for a leader like you to help guide us. This role is more than project management: it's an opportunity to create and shape a vibrant, supportive learning community across the country.

MetaProf Project Overview: MetaProf is Voilà's flagship teacher training initiative-an immersive virtual environment that fosters spontaneous collaboration, professional growth, and bilingual PD experiences tailored to French and second-language teachers. Aligned with national goals to promote bilingualism and reduce attrition.

• Manage multiple high-impact programs and projects across Voilà, including MetaProf, MetaLingo, and other national and international initiatives.

• Identify and recruit expert speakers and facilitators across a range of education topics, including second-language education and digital pedagogy.
• Produce impact reports, insights, and recommendations for internal teams, funders, and national partners such as CASLT (Canadian Association of Second Language Teachers) and Canadian Teachers Federation.
• Create and execute community-building strategies that foster long-term engagement, retention, and professional satisfaction among French-language teachers.
• Design and scale user-centric programs that respond to the evolving needs of educators, students, and communities, with a strong focus on engagement and innovation.
• Facilitate engaging bilingual professional development sessions in the MetaProf virtual platform, prioritizing relevance, inclusion, and real-world application.
• Leverage immersive technologies - including AI-powered avatars and virtual classrooms - to enhance lesson planning, instructional strategies, and learning experiences.
• Coordinate internal and external teams to ensure seamless program delivery, continuous improvement, and stakeholder satisfaction across all platforms.
• Develop and implement feedback loops, reporting tools, and evaluation strategies that inform decision-making and demonstrate program impact.
• Coordinate internal and external teams to continuously improve session quality, tech usability, and participant experience across programs.
• Represent Voilà at national conferences and events, sharing results and driving buy-in among sector leaders.

• You thrive in fast-faced start-up environments and know how to rally educators, government partners, and internal teams around a shared vision.
• You bring a passion for education and innovation, especially when it comes to redefining how teachers and learners are supported through technology.
• You're an exceptional communicator who can engage everyone from ministry officials to classroom teachers with empathy and clarity.

• You're comfortable wearing multiple hats and value the opportunity to grow with a company that's scaling quickly and evolving fast.
• You think outside the box-because we'll never put you in one.
• You work independently, take initiative, and need little supervision. We hate micromanaging, and we know you do too.
