Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Canadian CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Full time

Coordinator, Government Relations:


The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is Canada's largest and most activated business network — representing over 400 chambers of commerce and boards of trade and more than 200,000 businesses of all sizes, from all sectors of the economy and from every part of the country — to create the conditions for our collective success.

Our vision is to build a Canada of thriving business opportunity, a strong economy and a better life for all.

Our mission is to drive change, partner broadly and be the undisputed champion and catalyst for the future of business success.

We do this through policy and advocacy, our Canadian Chamber Network and our suite of essential business services.


From working with government on economy-friendly policy to providing services that inform commerce and enable trade, we give each of our members more of what they need to succeed: insight into markets, competitors and trends, influence over the decisions and policies that drive business success and impact on business and economic performance.


Our team will drive our transformation and expansion as part of Chamber 2025
We are in an exciting period of transformation and expansion to meet the changing needs of our members.


Our transformation will take us from being the voice of Canadian business as a federal lobby organization to also becoming the undisputed champion and catalyst for the future of business success.

Through our Chamber 2025 Strategic Plan, we will give each of our members more of what they need to succeed:

  • Insight into markets, competitors and trends
  • Influence over the decisions and policies that drive business success
  • Impact on business and economic performance
As envisioned in Chamber 2025, we have been launching whole new divisions and offerings to serve businesses of all sizes and sectors across our Canadian Chamber Network

This includes:

  • Bestinclass data and insights
  • Tailormade solutions for SMEs, including training and consulting services
  • Enhanced membership benefits
  • Expanded B2B networking opportunities
  • International growth boosters


That is why we want to recruit top talent who understand today's business realities and have an entrepreneurial mindset that can support our business building goals as well as emerging business needs and opportunities.

One of our core goals is to increase our value to the Canadian Chamber Network, our business and association members and other stakeholders and to build new relevance to emerging and entrepreneurial sectors.

As a result, this role will have a strong working relationship with our Member Relations team, Communications team, the Business Data Lab, and other colleagues across the organization on the delivery of new integrated initiatives.


Term and Location
This role is based in Ottawa and is a full-time position.
