Providing strategic legal advice to the Chief of the Commission and Tribunals, Tribunal Chairs, and Commission leadership on human rights, administrative, employment, and related legal matters.

Advising and engaging on public-facing initiatives, communications, publications, stakeholder relationships, and speaking engagements on significant human rights matters.
What you'll bring to the role:
Strategic thinking and sound judgment to navigate complex, high-profile legal issues and emerging human rights trends.
Strong communication skills to influence, educate, and provide advice to diverse audiences, from senior leaders to community stakeholders.
Strong relationship-building abilities to collaborate effectively across the Commission, government, legal community, and external organizations.
Leadership and initiative to operate independently, provide expert guidance, and drive continuous improvement in a dynamic environment.
