Opportunity Awaits You

The City of Toronto is looking to hire a Deputy Chief of Staff for our Intergovernmental and Agency Relations portfolio, to provide expert advice and guidance, through political acuity and experience, on intergovernmental and agency governance matters.

Mandate and Core Responsibilities

Critical to the success of this role, the Deputy Chief of Staff will have the ability to develop effective intergovernmental and agency strategies and policy agendas. The Deputy Chief of Staff must work proactively with other orders of government and City agencies, foster constructive relationships, and provide leadership to the engagement and co-operation needed to advance intergovernmental and agency oversight issues that affect Toronto.

You will work with the Mayor's Office and Members of Council to support intergovernmental and agency governance priorities requested through City Council.

You will also oversee key agency relationships, providing advice on governance processes, and accountability frameworks that ensure the City's interests are reflected in agency and corporation decisions.

This includes the ability to develop and maintain effective working relationships with external organizations in the context of complex intergovernmental and agency relations, and experience negotiating with external parties on governance, funding or service agreements, or program-related memoranda of agreements.

You have demonstrated ability to work effectively at local, provincial, and national levels on strategic intergovernmental and agency matters. You are an excellent communicator and can communicate effectively both orally and in writing, at all organizational levels.

You also bring a deep understanding of the interplay between intergovernmental priorities, agency mandates, and long-term strategic planning. You can effectively triage and resolve cross-jurisdictional issues, align City resources to support agency operations, and strengthen integration across divisions and external partners.

You also possess excellent strategic, analytical and conceptual thinking skills, as well as the ability to think and act strategically, anticipate, interpret and respond to the implications of new and changing initiatives, and develop creative solutions to complex problems. A combination of education, professional development, and senior-level leadership experience has prepared you to take on this exciting and unique role.
