About Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University)

At the intersection of mind and action, Toronto Metropolitan University is on a transformative path to become Canada’s leading comprehensive innovation university. Integral to this path is the placement of equity, diversity and inclusion as fundamental to our institutional culture. Our current academic plan outlines each as core values and we work to embed them in all that we do.

Toronto Metropolitan University welcomes those who have demonstrated a commitment to upholding the values of equity, diversity, and inclusion and will assist us to expand our capacity for diversity in the broadest sense. In addition, to correct the conditions of disadvantage in employment in Canada, we encourage applications from members of groups that have been historically disadvantaged and marginalized, including First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples, Indigenous peoples of North America, racialized persons, persons with disabilities, and those who identify as women and/or 2SLGBTQ+. Please note that all qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, applications from Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.

As an employer, we are working towards a people first culture and are proud to have been selected as one of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers and a Greater Toronto’s Top Employer for 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

About the Team

  • National high school visit programs, education events, tours and fairs to recruit prospective Canadian applicants
  • Online information sessions with faculty and students

The opportunity

The Liaison Officer role is an important contributor to the University’s overall enrolment priorities. As a Liaison Officer, you will provide general and detailed program-related information to prospective students, key influencers, applicants and the public, all to promote TMU as a top postsecondary choice and increase applications. Liaison Officers visit high schools and colleges across Ontario to deliver engaging recruitment presentations and attend recruitment fairs, actively promoting the University, and its programs and services. Liaison Officers provide logistical support for recruitment activities and events in the promotion of programs and the institution, and participate in University collective programming with other institutions. They provide general information to prospective student and supporter audiences on the University’s admissions standards based on the current policies and procedures, and maintain an exemplary level of professionalism and client service as a primary liaison between the University and the guidance counsellor community, prospective students and their influencers. 

This is a hybrid position with a continuous office presence to start before transitioning to primarily off-campus work involving local travel to high schools across Ontario. Some evenings and select weekend work will be required.
