The company

Created on November 1, 2020, the Société de développement et de mise en valeur du Parc olympique (SDMVPO), “Olympic Park,” replaces and modernizes the mission of the Régie des installations olympiques (1975-2020). The SDMVPO has the dual mandate of developing, managing, promoting, and operating its facilities, in addition to showcasing its Olympic heritage and legacy.

The Olympic Park manages five main assets: the Olympic Stadium, the largest amphitheater in the country; the Montreal Tower, the tallest inclined tower in the world; the Sports Center, the main aquatic center in Canada; the Esplanade and outdoor areas, a major gathering place and event venue in the city; and the largest underground parking garage in the country.

A bold architectural creation by Roger Taillibert, the Olympic Park was built both for the 1976 Summer Games and as the home of the Montreal Expos baseball club (1977-2004).

Since its inauguration, it has hosted thousands of sporting, cultural, social, civic, and public events, shaping Quebec’s event history with more than 100 million visitors since its opening.

The role

Reporting to the Vice President of Strategy and Commercial Operations and working with a passionate team, the person in this position will lead the transformation of the Tower, mobilize teams, and promote this architectural icon on the local and international scene.
