Executive Vice President, Stakeholder Engagement, Chief Legal Officer & Corporate Secretary

SaskEnergy is seeking a dynamic, visionary executive to join its leadership team as Executive Vice President (EVP), Stakeholder Engagement, Chief Legal Officer & Corporate Secretary. This multifaceted role offers a unique platform to shape Saskatchewan’s energy future through an integrated portfolio spanning legal affairs, corporate governance, and stakeholder engagement.
Reporting directly to the President & CEO and serving as Corporate Secretary to the Board of Directors, the Executive Vice President (EVP), will act as a strategic catalyst across the enterprise—guiding public policy alignment, leading regulatory compliance, championing Indigenous reconciliation, and stewarding public trust. This is more than a legal leadership role—it’s a call to public service at the highest level, with the ability to influence sustainable development, community impact, and energy transition in one of Canada’s most vital sectors.
At SaskEnergy, a Crown corporation that serves over 400,000 customers and reaches +3% of the province’s communities, the EVP will operate at the intersection of energy, environment, and ethics. Whether advancing emissions-reduction targets, advising on complex infrastructure projects, or strengthening community relationships, the successful candidate will help drive a people-centered strategy that aligns reliability, affordability, and sustainability.
This role is ideal for a seasoned legal executive who thrives in multi-stakeholder environments, has a passion for governance excellence, and brings an authentic commitment to Indigenous engagement and community well-being. It is an opportunity to lead with integrity, shape policy in the public interest, and contribute meaningfully to Saskatchewan’s energy resilience and economic future.
The successful candidate will embody a rare combination of legal depth, executive presence, ESG fluency, and an unwavering dedication to public purpose and most of all exceptional leadership skills. They are not only an accomplished legal leader but also a trusted voice in the boardroom, a bridge-builder in communities, and a champion for meaningful reconciliation and sustainability.
