Edmonton, Canada Government of Alberta Full time

Agencies, boards and commissions (ABCs) provide a range of services to our citizens, and it is imperative that they are accountable, transparent, and effective in their roles and mandate for Albertans. Accountability is strengthened through an effective, efficient, and highly functioning Public Agency Secretariat (PAS), Public Service Commission, capable of high-level collaboration, including providing direction and advice to public agencies and departments.

The PAS has a critical role in contributing to public agencies effectively performing at the highest standard for Albertans and establishing a strong public agency delivery system for our province.

The Public Agency Secretariat (PAS), Public Service Commission, establishes standards and requirements, and promotes and monitors the implementation of good public agency governance, recruitment, and appointment practices for agencies, boards and commissions (ABCs). This includes ensuring adherence to legislation and policy e.g. Alberta Public Agencies Governance Act (APAGA); and, best practices established through policy.

Public agencies account for almost half of the government expenditures, and it is imperative that public agencies are accountable, transparent, and effective in their roles and mandate for Albertans.

The role of the PAS in achieving this vision is to build collaborative relationships with departments and public agencies to develop a continuous improvement approach in the areas of governance leading practices, policy, accountability, compensation, and recruitment.

A key function of the PAS, which this position is heavily involved, is to promote and monitor the implementation of good public agency governance as legislated through adherence to the Alberta Public Agencies Governance Act (APAGA) and through best practices set out in the Public Agencies Governance Policy (Policy).

The Policy Advisor leads policy and legislative initiatives that contribute to an integrated, consistent and coordinated approach to public agency reporting and accountability. This position is an expert corporate resource for central agencies, departments and public agencies in providing advice and interpretation of key legislation and policy.

The role specifically develops tools and resources, leads and coordinates engagement initiatives, and develops ongoing stakeholder networks, relationships and information exchange opportunities to build and strengthen governance capacity.

In improving governance, accountability and transparency of Alberta’s agencies, boards and commissions (ABCs), the Policy Advisor has a critical role in ongoing development, coordination and strengthening of legislation, policies, directives and procedures.

The role requires communicating with departments and diverse stakeholder groups, both internal and external. The Policy Advisor supports the development, facilitation and coordination of learning and networking initiatives to promote capacity building for board members and department staff to achieve governance excellence.
