Department: Office of Service Efficiency
Location: HALIFAX
Type of Employment: Permanent
Union Status: Exclusion - Non Union - NSPG
Closing Date: 13-Aug-26 (Applications are accepted until 11:59 PM Atlantic Time)
The Office of Service Efficiency leads Nova Scotia’s work to modernize regulation, improve services, and remove unnecessary barriers for businesses, industries, sectors, and citizens.
Established in 2015, the Office began with a focus on reducing barriers to doing business in Nova Scotia. Its mandate has since expanded to support more effective, efficient, and responsive government services across departments and sectors.
The Office delivers its mandate by assessing regulatory and policy proposals against best-practice principles; measuring costs, savings, and service impacts; improving processes within government; and working with provincial, municipal, federal, and territorial partners to align regulatory and service approaches. This work supports Nova Scotia’s broader economic strategy and has earned national recognition.
As Director, Policy and Communications, you will provide senior leadership for integrated policy development, planning, legislative support, issues management, and strategic communications. Reporting to the Senior Executive Director, you will serve as a trusted advisor to executive leadership and the Minister on complex policy, legislative, regulatory, and communications matters.
This role requires an all-of-government perspective and the ability to work across departments, sectors, stakeholders, and other orders of government. You will help shape advice, decisions, and communications that advance the Office’s mandate, support government priorities, and respond to emerging issues. Success requires sound judgment, strategic thinking, and the ability to provide clear, timely advice in a complex and evolving environment.
The Director, Policy and Communications will provide senior-level strategic policy, planning and communications leadership in support of the Office’s mandate and government’s priorities. The successful candidate will have extensive experience leading complex policy and communications initiatives, providing strategic advice to senior decision-makers, and developing evidence-based solutions to challenging public policy issues.
A strategic thinker and collaborator, the Director possesses extensive experience building relationships with senior officials, stakeholders and partners across government and beyond. The successful candidate demonstrates exceptional judgment and the ability to manage competing priorities while delivering results in an evolving environment. Experience in public policy development, strategic communications, issues management, legislative processes and stakeholder engagement will be considered strong assets.
We are seeking a candidate who embraces digital ways of working and demonstrates strong digital readiness. The successful candidate will leverage available technologies and tools to maximize productivity, foster innovation, and continuously improve processes, ensuring services and solutions are delivered in the most efficient, effective, and client-focused manner possible.
Applicants relying on education and experience equivalencies must demonstrate such equivalencies in their application.
