• Lead cross-functional working sessions and consultations with business units to support program delivery, data collection, and analysis.
• Oversee the full policy lifecycle, including development, review, approval, implementation, and renewal, in alignment with corporate policy frameworks.
• Analyze legislative and regulatory changes, assess impacts, and provide timely, tailored guidance to internal stakeholders.
• Administer and enhance systems such as legislative tracking and policy management tools to ensure accuracy, accessibility, and effectiveness.
• Identify and implement opportunities for continuous improvement, focusing on operational efficiency, data quality, and stakeholder experience.
• Act as a subject matter expert and provide guidance, coaching, or informal mentorship to junior staff, interns, or project contributors.

This is the role for you, if you have:

• 3 years of experience in public policy, program delivery, compliance, governance, project management, or corporate administration within a large, complex organization or government entity.
• Demonstrated ability to translate policy intent into operational controls, delivering and managing complex programs, including tracking risks, dependencies, and deliverables.
• Experience in cross-functional program delivery; preparation of executive briefings, dashboards, and recommendations; policy documentation lifecycle management, regulatory submissions, and/or compliance reporting; and working in regulated environments.
• Strong analytical and process improvement skills, with the ability to identify opportunities for standardization, efficiency, and risk mitigation.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, including influencing without authority and presenting insights, risks, and recommendations to senior leaders.
• Highly organized and self-directed, with sound judgment in handling sensitive or confidential information and the ability to manage multiple competing priorities.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office tools, including SharePoint, PowerPoint, Excel, and Word.
• Post-secondary diploma or degree in Business Administration, Planning, Public Administration, Public Policy, or a related field; combined with education or applied experience in public policy analysis, implementation, or public/non-profit sector governance.
