*** MUST BE ELIGIBLE TO WORK IN CANADA***

A leading national quantum programme is hiring a Quantum Security Partnership Manager to support industry, government, and research partners as they prepare for quantum-era security challenges. This role sits at the intersection of post-quantum cryptography (PQC), quantum-secure communications, and real-world system migration.

You’ll work directly with companies, help guide PQC adoption, translate complex topics for non-experts, and contribute to accelerating quantum-safe deployment across critical sectors.

What You’ll Work On

Guiding organisations through PQC migration, crypto-agility planning, and secure-comms integration
Supporting applied R&D projects with industry and academic partners
Translating PQC, QKD, and quantum-threat concepts for executives, policymakers, and technical teams
Designing prototypes, proofs-of-concept, and security evaluations
Delivering outreach programmes on quantum-secure communications
Helping advance national capability in quantum-safe technologies

What You’ll Need

Essential:

PhD in physics, computer science, engineering, mathematics, or a closely related field
Strong research background in post-quantum cryptography, quantum-secure communication, or related cryptography topics
Deep understanding of PQC standards (e.g., Kyber, Dilithium), classical crypto systems, and quantum-threat models
Ability to explain highly technical concepts clearly to non-experts
Experience working across multidisciplinary or industry-facing projects
Strong project-management skills and comfort in a fast-moving environment

Desirable:

Experience integrating PQC into real systems (libraries, protocols, certificates)
Exposure to PKI, TLS, certificate management, or applied cybersecurity
Experience with QKD, secure network architectures, or quantum networking
Prior work with industry, government, or cross-functional R&D teams

Who Will Succeed Here

You’re an emerging technical specialist who can move between deep cryptographic detail and high-level communication. You enjoy helping organisations solve real-world problems, not just writing papers. You can own projects end-to-end, manage multiple stakeholders, and translate complexity into clear, actionable guidance.

Why This Role Matters

Quantum-secure communications is becoming a national priority. This role directly supports organisations preparing for the coming shift — shaping how businesses, critical infrastructure, and government respond to the accelerating PQC transition.
