Language & Location Requirement Notice: 100% of the daily functions are executed in English; French is not required for this Western/Common-law regional role. Candidates must currently reside in or around Vancouver, BC, as this position features a hybrid work mode requiring 1 day per week in the Vancouver office (located at 1050-401 Georgia St. W.).
