What will your typical day look like?

As part of Deloitte’s Indigenous Talent Strategy Centre of Excellence, you will play a key role in assisting in the execution of Deloitte Canada’s Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and Indigenous Talent Strategy based on the guiding commitments under the pillars of Education, Economic Empowerment, Employment, and Inclusion.  This role will leverage your skills to develop, plan, engage, assess and manage Indigenous programs and policies in coordination with the team at Deloitte. This position will also partner with other Indigenous professionals, both on our talent team and across the firm, to develop custom retention strategies and programs to increase employment opportunities for Indigenous Peoples across the firm. 

This position offers the flexibility to work remotely; however, it’s important to note that some travel may be required to fulfill job responsibilities. The extent and frequency of travel will depend on specific project needs and collaboration requirements.
