**Policy Development Officer.**

**Opportunity awaits you**

Reporting to the Manager, Policy and Program Planning, you'll assume a variety of responsibilities, including the development of strategic and operational policies, strategies and program evaluations for the Purchasing and Materials Management Division. Priority policy areas will include social value procurement, sustainable and climate action procurement, and Indigenous procurement, in addition to general procurement policy.

**Sharing expertise and promoting best practices**

Based on your research into the assigned area(s), you’ll identify policy, resource and systems issues and gaps, and lead strategic policy development, policy analysis, research, evaluation and program development processes.

This data will enable you to develop criteria to measure program effectiveness and success, identify emerging issues and opportunities, and provide information to management in support of sound decision-making. You're equally prepared to analyze and research issues and Council direction in support of the preparation and administration of the service area's capital and operating budgets and the development and support of long-term business plans.
