Secure contracts and agreements aligned with the organization’s mandate, as directed.
Participate in national working groups on policy and humanitarian diplomacy, and foster policy engagement opportunities with geographic stakeholders on key Indigenous issues.

What we are looking for:

Ability to adapt to frequent and urgent changes in priorities, make decisions under pressure, and work at an unpredictable pace.
Work requires interactions with clients who may be agitated or experiencing stressful situations.
In large-scale emergencies, may provide disaster relief and/or emergency field operational support.
