The Opportunity

Do you love to help solve complex and challenging problems? Do you strive to spend your days on work that has positive impact on the lives of others? Do you aspire to lead teams contributing to large-scale, transformational change?

If so, this is the opportunity that you have been waiting for.

Ontario has an ambitious mandate for change in social services, and we are building our team to help enable the successful development and delivery of policy that improves outcomes for people and communities who need support.

OPS Commitment to Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility, and Anti-Racism:
We are committed to build a workforce that reflects the communities we serve and to promote a diverse, anti-racist, inclusive, accessible, merit-based, respectful and equitable workplace.

We offer employment accommodation across the recruitment process and all aspects of employment consistent with the requirements of Ontario's Human Rights Code. Refer to the "How to apply" section if you require a disability-related accommodation.

What can I expect to do in this role?
Our team is proud to be part of the Ontario Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services. If you join us, that means that you'll be using your expertise and talent every day to help support children, youth, adults and families across Ontario during times of need.

**In this role, you will**:

- Manage and lead a team of professionals to conduct strategic policy analysis and development in support of the government's mandate for change;
- Work collaboratively with partners across government on key policy priorities to ensure alignment and integration;
- Work closely with policy partners to provide strategic analysis, insights, and recommendations on submissions to Cabinet and Treasury Board;
- Develop and deliver upon plans for major policy projects and initiatives;
- Promote equitable practices that foster anti-racism, diversity and inclusion, and embed these actively in the work environment and in support of employee engagement; and
- Manage unit staff including hiring, training and development, conducting performance reviews, and handling employee relations matters.

We are hiring four (4) managers across our newly created division to deliver on the Ministry's strategic change mandate:

- Manager, Policy Development Unit - Leads a team that provides advice, analysis, and recommendations in support of government decision-making on matters related to the Ministry's mandate for change, working to improve outcomes for the diverse populations and communities that we support.
- Manager, Strategic Integration Unit - Leads a team to: drive policy alignment across the Ministry and government to better integrate policy and fiscal decision-making; support the Ministry's annual Strategic Planning Process submission; and enable the achievement of the Ministry's strategic objectives.
- Manager, Policy Prototyping Unit - Leads a team that brings a user-focused lens to policy design and implementation, helping program areas to test and refine innovative ideas that translate policy into practical actions and measurable impacts.
- Manager, Policy Performance and Reporting Unit - Leads a team that designs and implements routines to help leaders and implementation teams assess if delivery is on track, monitor trajectories towards change goals following policy direction, and course correct, or advise Cabinet on recommendations for further decisions to overcome challenges. The team also leads the Ministry's internal and public reporting on priority policy initiatives, assessing how well policy implementation is addressing the mandate for change and telling the story of the impact achieved.

Why should I join?
As a leader in the Strategic Policy Division, you will be at the centre of the efforts to solve some of the toughest challenges in social services.

Each of these four roles presents opportunity for people leaders who thrive on driving change while cultivating high-performing and inclusive teams, and who understand how to use their impact and influence to modernize and improve policies, programs, and operations.

Join us and help make government work better for the people who need it. We provide team members with constructive feedback to foster their career growth, and opportunities to collaborate with talented people.

**We offer**:

- work that makes an impact
- learning and development opportunities
- an open and inclusive work environment
- flexible work arrangements

- pension plan

Overall, we will help you achieve your goals through continuous learning, professional development and support.
