Key Responsibilities
Operating Cadence & Execution
- Own the internal operating rhythm: weekly cadence, meeting preparation, action tracking, and follow-through across AI Fabric’s executive team and into the broader Bell organization.
- Implement and maintain lightweight operational processes (deal tracking, decision logs, stakeholder mapping) without over-engineering them.
- Drive accountability on action items across AI Fabric’s executive team. Flag items at risk of slipping and ensure resolution, not just visibility.
- Collaborate with Bell Business Markets strategy and governance leads to ensure AI Fabric’s internal cadence aligns with enterprise milestones, reporting cycles, and key decision points. Help activate Bell’s national sales and account teams to surface site development and customer opportunities for AI Fabric.
Executive & Stakeholder Support
- Prepare briefing materials, agendas, and background documents for key meetings with government officials, partners, and the board.
- Attend leadership meetings, capture decisions and commitments, and drive follow-up to completion.
- Produce executive summaries and decision documents for board, partner, and government engagements.
- Ensure that Bell executives and Corporate Strategy have timely, well-structured information on AI Fabric’s progress, pipeline, key risks, and upcoming milestones. Proactively prepare the materials and context they need to champion the initiative internally.
- Collaborate directly with Corporate Strategy on financial modelling, business case development, and strategic positioning as needed to support AI Fabric’s growth and capital requirements.
- Support work involving confidential and politically nuanced situations with senior leaders and external government stakeholders.
- Work with Bell Business Markets marketing and Corporate Communications to align messaging, tone, and positioning on shared priorities.
Contract & Legal Management
- Own the contract lifecycle from draft through execution: NDAs, LOIs, MSAs, vendor agreements, partnership agreements, and government contracts.
- Coordinate with external legal counsel to review, redline, and finalize agreements on timeline.
- Maintain a contract tracker with key terms, expiration dates, renewal windows, and obligations so nothing lapses or gets missed.
- Ensure contracts are properly executed, filed, and accessible to the relevant executives.
- Flag legal risks, unusual terms, or compliance issues to AI Fabric’s executive team before execution.
Information Flow & Coordination
- Manage information flow between AI Fabric’s executive team so context is shared and nothing drops.
- Triage incoming requests and protect executive time for high-value work.
- Coordinate logistics and scheduling for cross-functional initiatives with external partners, legal, and government stakeholders.

Gestion contractuelle et juridique
- Prendre en charge le cycle de vie des contrats, de l’ébauche à l’exécution : ententes de confidentialité (NDA), lettres d’intention (LOI), ententes-cadres (MSA), contrats de fournisseurs, ententes de partenariat et contrats gouvernementaux.
- Coordonner avec les conseillers juridiques externes pour la révision, les annotations et la finalisation des ententes selon les échéanciers.
- Tenir un registre contractuel comprenant les modalités clés, les dates d’échéance, les fenêtres de renouvellement et les obligations, afin qu’aucun élément ne soit omis.
