The Village of Haines Junction, commonly referred to as “the Junction” by its 900+ residents, is located 155 km west of Whitehorse, at the intersection of the Haines and Alaska Highways (www.hainesjunctionyukon.com). The Village is the gateway to the Kluane National Park and Reserve; and lies within the traditional territory of the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations (CAFN) – Southern Tutchone people who have lived in the area for thousands of years.

WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?

Reporting to Mayor and Council, you are responsible for the entire operations and administration of the municipality. You will oversee all services provided by the Village, including but not limited to administrative, financial management, recreational, public works and utilities, and economic development areas. You will work with territorial, federal, and First Nations partners; and have the opportunity to witness the direct impact of your efforts through different committees and working groups. This is an excellent time to join the Junction and mentor staff at different stages of their career while working in a unionized environment.

With your strong financial, human and administration management experience and related education, you will thrive on engaging with the public, staff, First Nations, and elected officials. Experience working with Indigenous partnerships as well as in a unionized environment will be strong assets.
