About IAMC-TMX
The Indigenous Advisory and Monitoring Committee for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project and existing pipeline operations, known as IAMC-TMX, brings together Indigenous and federal representatives to support Indigenous participation in oversight, monitoring, and advice related to one of Canada’s most significant infrastructure projects. The Committee includes Indigenous members selected by Indigenous communities along the project route and senior federal government representatives.
Through its Indigenous Caucus and Committee structures, IAMC-TMX works to help ensure that Indigenous voices, knowledge, priorities, and concerns are meaningfully reflected in discussions about lands, waters, communities, safety, environmental protection, and project oversight. The work is guided by the priorities and interests of 129 impacted Indigenous communities.
This work takes place in a complex public environment involving Indigenous Nations and communities, federal and provincial governments, regulators, public agencies, technical experts, and other partners. The Executive Director role supports the credibility, coordination, and follow-through needed for the Indigenous Caucus to participate effectively in this important work.
The work benefits from an approach that can respectfully bring together Indigenous knowledge, community priorities, and governance perspectives with technical, regulatory, and public-sector processes.

The Executive Director is a senior contractor role supporting the Indigenous Caucus in one of Canada’s most visible and complex public-interest files:
Indigenous oversight and monitoring related to the Trans Mountain Expansion Project and existing pipeline operations. The role provides high-level coordination, implementation, and advisory support to the Committee, its Co-Chairs, Sub-Committees, and the Funding Delivery Partner.

This opportunity is best suited to a seasoned leader who has worked in complex governance, public sector, Indigenous, major project, regulatory, or multi-party environments and can quickly earn trust across groups with different authorities, accountabilities, interests, and histories.

Prepare high-quality briefing notes, implementation updates, options, recommendations, and decision materials for the Co-Chairs and Committee.
