About Moment Travel Group

We are a dynamic team of entrepreneurs building the travel company of choice for North Americans, through a collection of distinctive brands that are leaders in their respective segments: Approach Tours, Incursion Voyages and Journeys by Van Dyke. Our people work out of our three offices located in Montreal, Quebec City and Cambridge, ON.

About the Role

The Strategic & Growth Initiatives Leader will help Moment Travel Group evaluate, design, and launch high-impact initiatives that will grow and strengthen our business. This role is built for someone who can take an ambiguous strategic question, turn it into a clear recommendation and execution plan, and implement it across our organization.

You will work with senior leadership and across functions and brands to assess opportunities, connect with internal and external subject matter experts, build the financial model, define the product requirements, and produce the documentation needed to launch and integrate new initiatives.

You should be comfortable in a fast-paced, “all-hands on deck” environment, be able to operate across multiple initiatives, and drive work forward with a high degree of autonomy.

Responsibilities include:

Strategic Evaluation and Business Case

• Structure ambiguous opportunities into a clear problem statement, workplan, and decision framework
• Build financial models to assess revenue upside, cost, margin, cash flow, and implementation considerations
• Develop recommendations for senior leadership, supported by quantitative and qualitative analysis

Stakeholder and SME Coordination

• Identify and engage internal subject matter experts and external stakeholders required to assess a new initiative
• Gather local operational, regulatory, commercial, and customer-facing inputs to pressure-test recommendations
• Drive alignment across functions by documenting assumptions, decisions, and next steps

Product Design and Documentation

• Translate an approved concept into clear product specifications, process requirements, and implementation documentation
• Define customer offering, operational workflow, system needs, and ownership across teams
• Prepare launch materials and handoff documentation to support execution and integration

Launch and Integration

• Support the rollout of new initiatives from pilot to launch, ensuring stakeholders are aligned and dependencies are tracked
• Work with business owners to embed new products or processes into day-to-day operations
• Identify risks, issues, and post-launch improvement opportunities

The First 90 Days

By the end of the first 90 days, the Strategic Initiatives Analyst should have built a strong understanding of our brands, operating model, and priority opportunities, while making tangible progress on at least one live initiative. This will set the stage for long-term impact in the role.

• Orientation and Onboarding – Gain a comprehensive understanding of the company’s mission, vision, values, operating model, and key growth priorities.
• Relationship Building – Establish open lines of communication with internal leaders, subject matter experts, and key external stakeholders.
• Initial Initiative Assessment – Build a first-pass business case, stakeholder map, and workplan for a priority strategic initiative.
• Documentation and Handoff – Produce clear outputs that can be used by senior leadership and functional teams to make decisions and move into execution.
