• Public Utility & Regulatory Insight: Ideally possesses experience in utility, energy, infrastructure, or natural resources environment. Deep familiarity with corporate/commercial law, regulatory regimes, Indigenous law, and compliance management.

The ideal candidate is a persuasive communicator and trusted liaison across government, Indigenous, and community stakeholders, with strong skills in policy, media, and crisis response. They are a change-driven leader who integrates sustainability and equity into strategy, and a collaborative systems thinker who fosters cross-functional alignment and high-performing teams. Grounded in public service values, they lead with empathy, cultural awareness, and the resilience to navigate complexity with integrity.
