Associate Executive Director, National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation

As the inaugural Associate Executive Director (AED), you will support the Executive Director, the Governing Circle, and the Survivors Circle, overseeing day-to-day operations. You will manage administrative, operational, and financial functions, ensuring the NCTR’s continued growth and ability to fulfill its mandate. The AED will liaise with the Governing Circle and Survivors Circle and ensure they are properly supported in their governance roles. The AED will support the Executive Director in advancing the Strategic Plan and will ensure effective use of human and financial resources and strong internal communications. In this role, you will be deeply involved in work that directly impacts Indigenous people and their communities. Focusing on the ongoing legacies of the residential school system, your work will continue to address the ongoing legacies of residential school systems which are complex and generational. Through that process you will have the ability to positively impact the well-being of Indigenous Peoples. Collaborating with a dedicated team, you will help keep the stories and truths of Survivors alive, ensuring their voices remain central to the national conversation. This work is both challenging and deeply meaningful. You will encounter individuals on their healing journeys, requiring empathy, resilience, and an understanding of the generational impacts of historical trauma. Working closely with Elders, Indigenous communities, nations and people – the work at the NCTR is integral to leading reconciliation efforts. The NCTR is a place of complexity, compassion, and heart. This role leads reconciliation, supports Survivors’ voices, and uses education to support self-determination and Nationhood. You will conduct and support the work through a trauma informed lens as we continue the healing journey to make a lasting impact across Canada, with Survivors and the generations to come. #J-18808-Ljbffr
