The Indigenous Services team is committed to supporting Indigenous communities as they continuously improve on program delivery and achieving greater returns for their resources.

Many Indigenous communities choose to place funds gained from government or industry settlements into a Trust where they can be protected for future generations while also providing ongoing funding for community programs and benefits on the interest they earn. As an Administrative Trustee, Deloitte partners with communities to help administer the Trust, taking direction from the community Trustees and/or community leadership.

The Trust Lead is a position that manages all aspects of the Trust. This includes interpretation of the Trust Agreement, financial reporting to the Trustees, Chief & Council, and community members, supporting the Trustees through information gathering and interpretation of legal documentation for investment opportunities, supporting the education of Trustees, and organizing Trust meetings. The Trust Lead works closely with a small team who deliver on these engagements.

What will your typical day look like?

• If you prefer that many of your days are not “typical” then this role may be for you! You will be working with multiple clients who each have their own diverse needs and urgency in terms of those needs. The right candidate for the position will take great satisfaction from supporting the development of others – clients, team members and the firm in furthering the growth of the Indigenous Services.
• You will be working with a great team; one which believes in engagement and support for each other. The Trust Lead role provides administrative support to our clients and entails providing oversight of the management of the day-to-day elements of various Indigenous Trust operations, including:
