Who We Are
The Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) is a partnership of Canadian universities, dedicated to expanding digital content for the academic research and teaching enterprise in Canada. Through the coordinated leadership of librarians, researchers, administrators and other stakeholders in the research community, CRKN undertakes large-scale content acquisition and licensing initiatives in order to build knowledge infrastructure and research and teaching capacity in Canada's universities.
On April 1st, 2018 CRKN merged with Canadiana.org which has allowed our teams to cohesively pursue a united and coordinated strategy to leverage Canadian heritage and scholarly content. As a merged organization, CRKN will continue its core licensing activities for scholarly journal content, while expanding support for the digitization, access and preservation of Canadian heritage content through the services of Canadiana.
Licensing Officer
Reporting to the Senior Content and Licensing Officer, the Licensing Officer will undertake various licensing activities in support of CRKN's content program. The incumbent will work collaboratively on licensing and negotiations, and actively contribute to and support committee and task groups as appropriate to their area of expertise. The Licensing Officer monitors and assesses the needs of the member community and the emerging opportunities in the marketplace to contribute to the overall strategic direction of CRKN. The incumbent leads the negotiations for significant CRKN e-resource licenses, and by assessing the changes in the scholarly communication and licensing environments, endeavours to deliver to CRKN the best possible negotiation results.

As the successful candidate you are an experienced and skilled team player who builds relationships across multiple organizations and levels. You excel in a constantly evolving organizational environment. You are a critical thinker who understands the why and not just the how in delivering value-added services.
