About Pathways Alliance
Pathways Alliance (Pathways) represents Canada’s largest oil sands producers working together to reduce their environmental footprint on land, air, and water and who share an ambitious goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions from operations by 2050. Our six member companies operate about 95% of Canada’s oil sands production.
About the Opportunity
The Climate Policy Advisor is a member of the Pathways policy team. The policy team is responsible for identifying and assessing policy and regulatory issues relevant to the oil sands industry and advocating on behalf of our member companies to achieve a policy and regulatory framework that supports Pathways’ net zero goal and the overall sustainability of the oil sands industry.
The Climate Policy Advisor is responsible for analyzing, researching, advising on and implementing climate- and air-related advocacy strategies and plans in support of the strategic and technical direction from the Pathways Alliance member companies.

About the Role
The policy team is part of the government relations and public policy function within Pathways, which is led by the Vice President, Government Relations & Public Policy. The Policy Advisor will report to the Director, Policy, who leads the policy and advocacy aspects of the government relations and public policy function.
The Climate Policy Advisor will work closely with a dynamic group of colleagues in the policy team and engage directly with member-led groups, which are comprised of member company representatives selected for their expertise in the group’s area of focus. The Climate Policy Advisor will also interface with the Government, Indigenous, Communications, and Community Relations teams, as well as other teams within Pathways to ensure cross-disciplinary alignment.

- Develop briefing materials and prepare senior leaders and members in advance of engagement activities and meetings with government.
- Interface with government relative to policy and regulations and present Pathways members’ perspectives.
- Participate in government and regulator-led working groups or multi-stakeholder forums on behalf of, and in cooperation with, Pathways members to advance the priorities of members and achieve effective regulation and policy.
- Influence and navigate alignment with other industry and advocacy associations (e.g., CAPP, MAC, Industrial Heartland) on cross sector policy and regulatory issues.
- Coordinate planning and delivery of member committee meetings, workshops, working groups and external meetings.
- Lead on member priorities outside of the climate and air policy scope as resourcing requires or to expand skillset.
Skills

- Demonstrated teamwork, planning and organization skills.
- Ability to multi-task multiple priorities and work both independently and as part of a team to achieve outcomes.
- Excellent critical thinking, analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Demonstrated ability to be successful in a dynamic environment.
Education and Experience
- Post-secondary education, preferably a related engineering or science degree.
- Minimum 5 years of experience with climate/air policy/regulation issues management and advocacy and/or policy and regulatory processes at the provincial and federal levels.
- Knowledge of, or experience in, oil sands or oil and gas. A combination of oil sands / oil and gas and climate/air experience is preferred.
- Experience partnering with federal, provincial and Indigenous governments and regulatory agencies to create mutually beneficial outcomes.
