Integrity (including a strong work ethic, high personal standards, discretion in handling sensitive and confidential information, dedication to follow through on commitments, and openness and honesty in communications as well as a respectful demeanour) is assumed. A successful candidate will be one who takes pride in his or her role as a representative of Canada's international airline.
Intangible Benefits
The selected candidate will often work autonomously but will have the benefit of working closely with and learning from more senior counsel who have acquired a broad and deep understanding of all commercial and regulatory aspects of the Air Canada and airline business.
The candidate would be joining a company with a high profile and operations in a multi-faceted regulatory, competitive and international environment.

The international dimension and exposure to a wide range of foreign legal regimes is also an attraction.
The opportunity to join a cohesive and dynamic group of professionals, who take pride in contributing to achieving Air Canada's commercial and operational objectives and who are focused on personal growth and improving client services, is an attraction as is the opportunity to join an international airline whose successes and innovations are attracting very positive attention from the industry internationally and the investor community.
