Through these initiatives, CIRMO ensures that information management policy, training and compliance are aligned and integrated. CIRMO also ensures that accountability for government’s many information management functions is well understood and transparent.

PCT provides Information Management training, consultative support on strategic privacy and access issues, supports Ministry Privacy Officers and the implementation of the Privacy Management and Accountability Policy and reviews Privacy Impact Assessments for all ministries.

As an Investigative Analyst, you provide overall corporate direction and specialized privacy and information management expertise to the Government of British Columbia, the broader public sector, and British Columbians.

You also plan, develop, manage and implement investigations into actual or suspected information incidents, privacy breaches and privacy complaints, and provide investigative leadership and specialized expertise to address information incidents that are the responsibility of the Government of British Columbia.

Your ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with a variety of stakeholders is essential as you must gather information necessary to evaluate compliance relative to the requirements of FOIPPA. You possess excellent verbal and written communication skills, ensuring thorough investigative note taking and data tracking for investigations, preparing briefing materials on emergent privacy and information management issues, delivering training on privacy and access legislation, and providing advice and recommendations to government and other public bodies on a range of related issues, including measures to prevent future information incidents.
