At Canadian Natural Resources, a recognized leader in Canada's energy industry, we are dedicated to driving innovation and excellence. We operate one of the strongest and most diversified asset portfolios globally, and we are seeking a dedicated Sourcing and Contracting Specialist to join our team. This pivotal role involves leading the strategic sourcing and management of supplier contracts for our oilsands operations and projects across Canada. You will partner with stakeholders, key suppliers, and legal teams to deliver optimized sourcing strategies, secure favourable terms, and ensure compliance, all while managing risk and driving cost efficiency to create measurable value for our natural resources sector. This dynamic opportunity offers significant growth potential, allowing you to build deep expertise in strategic sourcing and contract management within a collaborative, high-performing team that values innovation and continuous improvement.

The role also involves leading the end-to-end contract formation and administration process, delivering clear, fit-for-purpose agreements that maximise value, mitigate risk, and align with organisational objectives and standards. Effective supplier relationship management will be critical, ensuring performance and compliance, resolving complex claims and commercial disputes, and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives to protect organisational value and operational integrity.
Our Commercial Operations Team Vision is to be a trusted, high-performing unit, enabled by our people, that creates measurable value through disciplined, high-quality execution, strong strategic partnership, and a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and innovation.
