Assess and strengthen the readiness of priority opportunities, including governance considerations, partnership models, community alignment, enabling conditions, and implementation pathways.

Investment & Stakeholder Engagement

Lead or support engagement with public, private, and community-sector stakeholders, helping communicate opportunities in a manner that reflects cultural, economic, and community development priorities.
Contribute to the development of business cases, briefing materials, presentations, and other strategic documents that effectively communicate opportunity potential, readiness, risks, community benefits, and partnership considerations.

Advisory, Research & Insights

Provide subject matter expertise and strategic guidance to internal teams on Indigenous relations, reconciliation, economic development, investment opportunities, and partnership opportunities.
Conduct research and provide analysis on Indigenous economic development, investment trends, community development opportunities, stakeholder priorities, and emerging issues.

Qualifications

Experience working with Indigenous communities, organizations, governments, and partners, with a strong understanding of Indigenous relations and reconciliation.
At least 7 years of experience in investment opportunities, economic development, partnership development, major project development, or community-led development, including work involving Indigenous lands, communities, governments, organizations, or Indigenous-led entities.
Post-secondary degree in a relevant discipline, such as business, public administration, Indigenous governance, economic development, planning, community development, or a related field, or an acceptable combination of education, training, and experience.
