ABOUT PUBLIC POLICY FORUM

Public Policy Forum ["PPF"] works with all levels of government and the public service, the private sector, labour, post-secondary institutions, NGOs and Indigenous groups to improve policy outcomes for Canadians.

As a non-partisan, member-based organization, we work from "inclusion to conclusion," by convening discussions on fundamental policy issues with diverse groups of relevant stakeholders (inclusion) and by identifying new implementable policy options (conclusion).

For more than 35 years, PPF has promoted civil and productive dialogue among stakeholders, contributing to meaningful change that builds a better Canada.

PPF has earned an enviable reputation as a trusted, independent and non-partisan catalyst in the public policy supply chain.

We are dedicated to research and convening around important public policy issues, sharing leadership lessons through our Academy and celebrating Canadians who make major contributions to public service, public leadership and public policy.

Our research programs provide a pragmatic base to inform decisions of broad importance to Canada and Canadians by bringing people together in serious, focused exploration of the best ways forward.

PPF helps ensure public policy in this country is dynamic, coordinated and responsive to future challenges and opportunities.

Thus, our brand promise:
Good Policy. The Public Policy Forum's approach is called Inclusion to Conclusion.

Inclusion involves engaging diverse perspectives around our tables and within our ranks in order to arrive at the best policy conclusions.

The Public Policy Forum is seeking a broadly inquisitive person with a passion for public policy to oversee PPF's policy, research and engagement activities in support of the organization's mission to improve public outcomes through better policy.

The Director of Policy plans, coordinates and undertakes research and engagement activities by building on PPF's work and seeking out opportunities to review or refresh Canadian public policy thinking at the federal or provincial level.

The Director will manage a team of four policy leads/associates and will work as a member of the management team.

The successful candidate will report directly to the Vice President, Policy and Programming and will work closely with the Vice President of Strategic Engagement, as well as the Vice President of PPF Media and Communications, members of PPF's management team, board members and other staff to deliver PPF's mandate.

The Public Policy Forum conducts research and engagement activities on a wide variety of public policy issues of relevance to Canadians.

A primary task of the Director is to coordinate the policy and programming activities of PPF staff in order to identify gaps in the current federal or provincial policy environment that lead to opportunities for new projects, and to enable PPF to continue to build areas of depth.

Working closely with the Vice President of Strategic Engagement, the Director of Policy also has a responsibility to integrate policy areas of interest and importance for our roughly 200 members into the work of PPF.

Ability to speak and write fluently in both English and French is preferred; Comfort with the MS Office suite, including Excel, Word and Outlook, as well as collaborative software.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION
In our early years, inclusion entailed gathering government, business, labour and civil society in the same room. We are firmly committed to Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples and social justice for all communities.

We subscribe to the 50-30 Challenge and seek to live our core belief that good policy makes for a better Canada.

We recognize there is more progress to be made and that good policy outcomes for everyone mark the ultimate measure of a successful society.

As Canada's think tank about tomorrow, we take our responsibility seriously to use our work to illuminate inclusive and diverse policy pathways.

Accommodations will be provided at all stages of the hiring process.
