About Our Opportunity

As the Program Lead, Emergency Financial Assistance Programs, you will lead the administration and continuous improvement of the Emergency Services Provider Fund and Disaster Financial Assistance. You may also support the design and delivery of other emergency-related funding and assistance programs.

Working closely with the Manager, you will provide program, financial and operational leadership. You will help establish clear and consistent program practices, strengthen financial controls, and ensure files and decisions are well documented and audit-ready.

A significant part of this role involves turning program requirements into practical tools and processes. You will develop standard operating procedures, templates, guidance materials, decision documents, reporting tools and other resources that support consistent service delivery. You will also recommend ways to improve programs when policies, community needs or emergency conditions change.

Primary Accountabilities

In this role, you will:

Lead the planning, administration, monitoring and continuous improvement of the Emergency Services Provider Fund and Disaster Financial Assistance.
Support the design and implementation of emergency funding and assistance programs, including programs that may need to be established within short operational timelines.
Develop and maintain standard operating procedures, program guidelines, templates, forms, workflows, decision records and other program documentation.
Establish clear controls and record-keeping practices so that program decisions, expenditures and files are complete, consistent and audit-ready.
Manage program budgets, forecasts and financial reporting, and identify emerging pressures, risks and opportunities.
Provide financial analysis, advice and recommendations to the Manager, senior leaders and program colleagues.
Prepare briefing notes, presentation materials, correspondence, reports, recommendations and decision documents for senior leaders and, where required, the Minister.
Build collaborative relationships with municipalities, communities, emergency service providers and partners within and outside government.
Interpret and apply government legislation, policies, financial controls, procurement requirements and administrative processes.
Support cross-departmental planning and collaboration.
Act for the Manager during absences, as assigned.

Qualifications and Experience

To be successful in this role, you have completed post-secondary education in public administration, business administration, finance, accounting, commerce or another relevant discipline, plus several years of related experience managing or administering a program.

In addition, you have experience

Managing a budget and financial reporting.
Developing program documentation, such as standard operating procedures, guidelines, templates, and process maps
Preparing briefing notes, recommendations, reports, presentations or other decision-support materials.
Advising senior leaders on complex program, operational, policy or financial matters.

You also demonstrate strong written communication, as well as presentation skills. You think creatively and strategically while maintaining consistent, fair and accountable program delivery. The ability to manage multiple priorities and adapt plans when operational needs or emergency conditions change is essential to your success.

The following are considered assets including:

Experience with emergency management, disaster recovery, disaster financial assistance or emergency-services funding programs.
Knowledge of government decision-making, financial administration, or procurement processes.
Proficiency in both English and French.

We will assess the above qualifications and competencies using one or more of the following tools: written examination, standardized tests, oral presentations, interview(s), and reference checks.

A related master’s degree combined with relevant program, policy or financial experience.
