Ottawa, Canada Odgers Berndtson Full time

is a leading organization dedicated to preserving Canada's natural landscapes and promoting sustainability for future generations. Since its establishment in 1992, Tree Canada has facilitated the planting of millions of trees and been a driving force in environmental conservation, community engagement, and land stewardship, allowing the organization to grow resilient ecosystems and healthier, greener communities across Canada. At this important juncture, fuelled by the recognition of our planetary urgency and the collective efforts of Tree Canada’s supporters – from valued sponsors and donors to local partners and staff – their growing team of 30 employees has developed an ambitious three-year plan to guide Tree Canada’s work moving forward.

Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, the newly created role of Chief Program Officer (CPO) will have responsibility and oversight of the successful implementation of all reforestation, restoration and greening projects led by Tree Canada, in both rural and urban settings. Specifically, the CPO will contribute to the overall strategy, direction and program development of the organization and work to expand TC’s overall capacity across the country while fostering a collaborative and high-performing culture. The CPO will also lead and cultivate high impact relationships with partners, funders, and sponsors, and stay abreast of leading trends and initiatives that may amplify Tree Canada’s mission and reach. This executive role has the rare opportunity to contribute to positive impact on a meaningful scale.

The ideal candidate for the Chief Program Officer position will be a passionate, solutions-focused, and strategic leader with superior skills in program management and demonstrated expertise in a sector related to reforestation, forestry, restoration, climate and/or resources management. The successful candidate will leverage their intellectual curiosity to problem solve, to deliver on ambitious commitments, to develop new initiatives and to foster productive partnerships at all levels within government, municipalities, Indigenous communities, conservation authorities, not-for-profits, and the private sector. With a solid blend of interpersonal, strategic, project management and relationship-building skills, combined with a deep commitment to partnering with Indigenous communities across the country, the ideal candidate will be poised to drive TC towards greater impact while championing its mission of improving lives by planting trees and addressing climate change. French language skills will be considered a strong asset.
