The ideal candidate will have a post-secondary degree related to environmental science, geography, biology, Indigenous Studies, or public policy administration, with 5+ years' relevant policy experience, preferably working with First Nations.

The ability to analyze complex information and data, and communicate this concisely to a variety of audiences, is essential.

Advanced written and verbal skills, including the ability to use appropriate terminology, are required.

Familiarity with the manipulation and analysis of data using databases such as Excel is an asset.

Demonstrated knowledge and ability to apply effective research techniques, with respect to confidentiality and ethics, is required.

Ability to develop effective working relationships with team members, governing bodies, and partners both inside and outside of the AFN is essential.

Demonstrated interpersonal skills, professionalism, teamwork, and judgement are required.

Sound planning and organization skills with the ability to multi-task while working under pressure and with competing deadlines are essential.
