For more than 25 years, Canopy has been a driving force in transforming wood-based supply chains, including publishing, packaging, and textiles, to </span><span>eliminate</span><span> fibre coming from the world's most critical forests and ensure a livable planet for all.</span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><span>Position Overview</span></span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><span>Canopy is seeking a Partnerships Lead to lead the organization’s cross-cutting partnership strategy and help translate relationships into meaningful influence, collaboration, and results. This is a dynamic leadership role for someone who understands how to build strategic alliances that expand capacity, unlock leverage, and accelerate systems change.</span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><span>This role sits at the intersection of strategy, relationship building, and execution. The Partnerships Lead will work closely with the Executive Director and Head of Impact to shape and advance a partnership strategy that strengthens Canopy’s ability to meet its goals across forest conservation, supply chain transformation, and the scale-up of Next Gen alternatives.</span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><span>The portfolio includes alliances, coalitions, standard setters, field builders, technical partners, implementation partners, and other actors whose participation can increase market confidence, credibility, reach, and momentum. This role will help Canopy </span><span>identify</span><span> where partnerships are most catalytic, develop the strategies and frameworks that guide engagement, and manage priority relationships to successful outcomes.</span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><span>This role may also help bring added capacity and ecosystem support to brand cohorts and other strategic initiatives where collaboration is needed to move from commitment to implementation.</span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><br><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><span>Why This Role Matters</span></span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><span>Canopy’s goals require more than direct engagement with individual companies. They </span><span>require</span><span> an enabling ecosystem of partners that can build confidence, add capacity, shape norms, strengthen implementation, and help move markets faster. The Head of Partnerships will help design and lead that ecosystem strategy, ensuring Canopy is not only influencing key actors directly but also shaping the wider conditions needed for change.</span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><br></span></span><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><span>Key
