  • Supervise outside counsel

  • Interpret statutes, interpret and draft internal policies, contracts and other legal documents to support compliant and effective business decisions

  • Develop and support corporate HR policies, processes, training and tools (including those related to workplace investigations) to ensure legal information is accessible and consistently applied

  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with internal partners, external counsel and counterparts at other Crown corporations

What you’ll bring to the team

Required qualifications:

  • A Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) or Juris Doctor (J.D.).

  • Minimum five years of experience in a corporate legal function and/or private practice

  • Strong knowledge of HR, employment and litigation law within a Canadian context, including the Canada Labour Code and experience conducting workplace investigations

  • Proven ability to exercise sound judgment and provide practical, risk-informed legal advice
