It announced Wednesday evening that Freeland has been appointed CEO of the Rhodes Trust, starting next July 1.
The former finance minister was in the running for the Liberal party leadership earlier this year but lost to Mark Carney, who then became prime minister.
Freeland served dual roles in Carney’s cabinet as internal trade minister and transport minister, and led a push to reduce internal trade barriers in Canada.
She abruptly stepped down from her cabinet roles in September to take on a special role representing the Carney government on matters dealing with the reconstruction of Ukraine.
