Join the ICLEI Canada team in a senior role that will help advance low-carbon, climate-resilient infrastructure in communities across Canada.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again — implementation is not keeping pace with the frequency and severity of climate impacts being felt by communities. In particular, building low-carbon, climate-resilient infrastructure is increasingly urgent to reduce climate risks and improve the resilience of communities all while working towards an equitable net-zero future. We are seeking to fill two senior-level positions that will play key roles in the development of an online Climate Platform to help address this challenge:

• A Senior Product Owner to work with and guide the development and mobilization of the Climate platform

This is an exciting opportunity if you are looking to lead a cutting-edge climate project with meaningful outcomes. Visit our website to learn more and apply. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the positions are filled.
