The successful candidate will be responsible for strategic advocacy, policy interpretation, and translating government priorities into actionable insights for the organization's leadership. A strong understanding of Canadian government operations, experience in defence, infrastructure, or procurement environments, and established relationships within Ottawa are essential. The role demands a leader with a proven track record of engaging with senior decision-makers and a deep understanding of how procurement processes function, especially within the context of the Department of National Defence, Defence Construction Canada, and Public Services and Procurement Canada.

Experience in working with key stakeholders in the relevant government departments, particularly those involved in infrastructure programs or procurement processes, is highly valued. The ideal candidate will have a background that includes a strong network in Ottawa, a reputation for credibility and experience, and the ability to engage effectively in a space where consistency of engagement is crucial. Security clearance, current or prior, is a significant advantage, given the nature of the role's engagement with defence-related matters.
