Who We Are


The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) is an advocacy organization, taking direction and fulfilling mandates as directed by First Nations in-Assembly through resolutions.

As a national advocacy organization for First Nations, the AFN seeks to advance First Nations Inherent and Treaty Rights through the development policy, public education and where applicable, the co-development of legislation to build First Nations capacity.


The AFN was created out of a desire among First Nations leadership for a strong and effective collective advocacy organization.

From this, values such as respect for human rights, diversity, justice, and the sovereignty of each rights-holding First Nation guide the work of the organization.


The Role:

The Assembly of First Nations Rights and Governance sector is seeking an experienced and skilled individual to conduct research and provide analysis, advice and advocacy that reflects the AFN's priorities with respect to First Nations Rights.

Reporting to the Director of Rights and Governance, the Policy Analyst has the following key responsibilities:

Responsibilities:

  • Conduct comprehensive research on First Nations Rights and Governance related policies and best practices
  • Develop policy proposals and recommendations based on research findings and partner consultations.
  • Evaluate existing policies and regulations to identify gaps, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement.
  • Collaborate with relevant partners including government agencies, educational institutions, and First Nations to gather input and ensure policy coherence.
  • Prepare clear and concise reports, policy briefs, and presentations summarizing research findings and policy recommendations.
  • Present research outcomes and policy proposals to internal and external partners, including government officials, educational institutions, and First Nations Communities
  • Respond to inquiries and provide expert advice on Rights and Governance policyrelated matters.
  • Build and maintain relationships with key stakeholders in First Nations communities, educational institutions, and government officials.
  • Stay informed about the latest developments with First Nations concerns.
  • Participate in the various working groups and support the group with organizing and coordinating AFN's participation in meetings.

Qualifications:

  • An undergraduate degree in Indigenous Studies, Public Policy, Policy Administration, Political Sciences, or a related field of study with a minimum of 35 years of relevant experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience working directly with First Nations policy and advocacy.
  • A minimum of 3 years of experience in policy analysis, preferably working directly with First Nations or working with First Nations policies and programs
  • Strong understanding of principles, international agreements, and regulatory frameworks with a First Nations lens
  • Proficiency in data analysis and statistical software.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively communicate complex concepts to diverse audiences.
  • Strong critical thinking and problemsolving abilities.
  • Ability to work independently, manage multiple tasks, and meet deadlines.
  • Experience in partner engagement and facilitation of collaborative processes is desirable.
  • English is the working language although the ability to communicate effectively in Indigenous language or French is an asset.
AFN may cancel, postpone, or revise employment opportunities at any time.
