Your Opportunity

BDO Canada is seeking an accomplished Enterprise Managed Services Leader to help lead the next phase of growth for its Managed Services business. Working alongside the existing Managed Services leadership team, this role will be responsible for establishing and scaling BDO's enterprise managed services capabilities, enabling the firm to win, deliver, and grow complex enterprise client relationships.

This leader will combine business development, operational leadership, and client executive engagement to build a differentiated enterprise managed services practice. The role is accountable for leading enterprise pursuits, overseeing strategic client portfolios, developing scalable service offerings, maturing delivery capabilities, building high-performing teams, and driving profitable growth. Equally important, the successful candidate will help transform the practice from a transactional delivery organization into one focused on long-term client outcomes, innovation, and strategic partnerships.

BDO has built a successful and growing Managed Services business with a strong reputation for delivering technology and business application managed services to small and mid-market organizations. As part of the firm's long-term growth strategy, the practice is entering its next phase of evolution—expanding its enterprise capabilities, maturing its operating model, and scaling the business to meet increasing market demand.

Enterprise clients increasingly expect more than traditional support services. They are looking for strategic partners who can deliver measurable business outcomes through modern operating models, executive governance, automation, AI-enabled operations, continuous innovation, and integrated advisory capabilities. To remain competitive and differentiate in the market, BDO is evolving its Managed Services business beyond traditional service delivery toward intelligent, outcome-driven operations powered by automation, data, and Artificial Intelligence.

Meeting these expectations requires BDO to strengthen its enterprise delivery capabilities, develop scalable service offerings, mature its governance and operational excellence, and transform how services are delivered, managed, and continuously improved.

To support this evolution, BDO is seeking an experienced Enterprise Managed Services Leader who will complement the firm's existing Managed Services leadership by focusing on enterprise growth, operational maturity, and the future of AI-enabled managed services. This individual will play a critical leadership role in expanding BDO's enterprise market presence while helping transform the practice into a scalable, outcome-focused business capable of delivering intelligent operations at scale.

The successful candidate will help shape the future of the practice by:

• Growing BDO's enterprise managed services business through strategic pursuits, executive client relationships, and long-term account development.
• Building enterprise-grade service offerings, delivery models, governance frameworks, and quality standards that enable consistent, scalable delivery.
• Driving the evolution of BDO's managed services business toward AI-enabled operations by embedding automation, observability, predictive analytics, AI, and continuous service optimization into service delivery.
• Developing high-performing teams and leadership capabilities while fostering a culture focused on accountability, innovation, operational excellence, and client outcomes.
• Strengthening collaboration across BDO's Advisory practice to deliver integrated business solutions and unlock new growth opportunities across service lines.
