- Assemble and maintain a strong network of mutually supportive partners, including a wide array of relevant business and commercial interests, Indigenous and local communities, academia and governments, to maximize benefits for wildlife, climate and communities.
- Collaborate with and provide strategic guidance on wildlife and industry issues to WWF-Canada’s other Conservation units as well as the other divisions including Marketing & Communications and Development.
- Track progress towards WWF-Canada’s Regenerate Canada goals and targets using established indicators, and actively support a culture of accountability for execution and results.
- From time-to-time, serve as WWF-Canada’s liaison on global issues and initiatives relevant to wildlife and industry as part of the WWF International network.
- Represent WWF-Canada at external fora such as conferences and international meetings, as assigned.
- Manage and prepare budgets, financial and progress reports, and forecasts.

**Qualifications**:

- Post-secondary degree in science or policy fields relevant to conservation, or comparable work experience.
- At least 10 years of relevant experience.
- Strong strategic thinking and problem-solving capabilities coupled with an outcome, delivery-oriented approach.
- Proven knowledge of the interface between industrial and commercial threats and conservation goals, including experience in respectful collaboration with Indigenous communities as well as industry and commercial leaders from a solutions-oriented perspective.
- Knowledge of how to develop regulatory and policy options based on multi-partner interests and legislative contexts in one or more jurisdictions.
- Proven leadership and relationship-building with diverse partners, including Indigenous partners, to achieve objectives in an inclusive and collaborative way.
- Ability to identify issues requiring a campaign-style approach to achieve threat reduction in high priority ecological land and seascapes.
- Strong team, project and budget management skills.
- Exceptional ability to proactively manage complex, high profile or sensitive initiatives.
- Strong written and verbal communication and presentation skills.
