The Public Sector Employers’ Council Secretariat (PSEC Secretariat) supports government in setting and coordinating strategic directions in labour relations and human resource management for the public sector. The PSEC Secretariat also supports the minister responsible for PSEC in directing employers to create compensation plans for both excluded and executive employees, including CEO compensation, wages, benefits and perquisites. In addition, the PSEC Secretariat represents government in its role as one of the partners in the management of jointly trusteed public sector pension plans.

The Assistant Deputy Minister (ADM) directs the planning of a range of compensation, human resource and collective bargaining strategies for the broader provincial public sector to ensure they are consistent with government's direction to employers. This executive role provides ongoing strategic advice, from a cross-sectoral perspective, to government and employers. The ADM also works with public sector employers and employers’ associations to ensure that collective bargaining of over 180 collective agreements covering 385,000 unionized employees is within government’s mandate.

Reporting directly to the Associate Deputy Minister/President & CEO, the ADM provides leadership in strategic labour relations and human resource management for the public sector including health, community social services, K-12 public education, research universities, post-secondary institutions, Crown corporations, and the public service.

The ideal candidate is a seasoned senior leader with strong management and consensus-building skills; is able to identify key relationships and maintain positive rapport across a spectrum of stakeholders in challenging and complex situations; and has expertise in strategic planning and conflict resolution. Negotiation experience in a unionized or related context is an asset. In addition to the experience required, the ideal candidate will have at least an undergraduate degree in a related field.
