Policy and public sector experience
You bring several years of progressively responsible experience in strategic policy, planning, legislative, regulatory, municipal, intergovernmental, or public administration work.
You have led or supported complex files that require research, analysis, judgment, written advice, options development, and clear recommendations for senior decision makers.
A bachelor’s degree in public administration, political science, law, planning, social or natural sciences, or a related field is required. An equivalent combination of training, education, and experience may be considered.
Strong analysis and judgment
You are comfortable working through complex material. This may include legislation, regulations, government decision documents, policy frameworks, research, jurisdictional scans, stakeholder input, and detailed background materials.
You can identify what matters, assess what is uncertain, and turn information into practical advice.
Clear advice for decision makers
You have experience preparing briefing notes, options analysis, recommendations, correspondence, decision-support documents, policy papers, or legislative and regulatory materials.
You can present options, risks, trade-offs, and recommended next steps in a way that supports senior decision-making.
Independent file leadership
You can lead complex files with limited direction. You are comfortable working in areas where the answer is not obvious, the issue may be sensitive, and the path forward requires judgment.
You work independently, but not in isolation. You build strong working relationships with leaders, colleagues, subject matter experts, municipalities, and government partners.
What will help you succeed
Success in this role requires demonstrated strength in complex policy work including legislative and regulatory analysis and strong written and verbal communication skills.
The successful candidate will be able to develop practical options and sound recommendations in response to complex, sensitive, and ambiguous issues.
