Jobbörse

As part of initiatives to promote inclusion and equity, we strongly encourage people who identify as Indigenous to apply to work at National Bank.

“Indigenous People" is a collective name for the original peoples of North America and their descendants. This includes First Nations, Métis, and Inuit.

Indigenous Peoples are the original caretakers of these lands and waters. Their knowledge, leadership, and perspectives are essential to building respectful partnerships and creating long-term opportunities for communities.

National Bank is committed to strengthening relationships with Indigenous communities across the country. This role is an opportunity to contribute to that work by building connections, listening to community priorities, and helping foster partnerships grounded in respect and trust.

*** We are open to receiving applications from various locations in Ontario.

About the Role

Working as part of the Indigenous Relations team and reporting to the Managing Director, the Indigenous Relations Representative will focus on building and maintaining positive relationships with Indigenous communities across a designated region, wich will be the Ontario province.

This role is rooted in relationship-building. It involves connecting with community leadership and staff, learning about community priorities, and sharing insights internally to help the Bank better understand opportunities for partnership.

Another important part of the role is sharing examples of successful partnerships with other Indigenous communities, helping support collaboration and the exchange of ideas.
