Work environment

Join the Alberta RCMP’s Business Strategies team and support our communities and senior management with their financial, resourcing and reporting needs. Alberta RCMP provides policing services to over 100 communities and policing partners. In this role you will be responsible for providing business support services for contract partner budgets and human resourcing levels, and assist in the development and implementation of financial strategies to attain organizational goals. You’ll work with a team of analysts on a variety of tasks, with sometimes short deadlines for a multitude of requirements. If you enjoy a range of activities, have great attention to detail and enjoy supporting clients, this job is for you!

Intent of the process

This process will initially be used to staff one business support analyst position on an indeterminate basis, and create a pool of qualified candidates. This pool of qualified candidates may be used to staff similar positions such as an analyst role dedicated to the development of Memoranda of Understanding. Similar positions may have various tenures within the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (i.e. indeterminate, term, deployment, acting, assignment and secondment).

Should a Civilian Member (CM) be found qualified and selected for appointment, the appointment will not result in a change of status to the Public Service (PS) category for the CM. Information regarding the CM appointment will be sent to all applicable candidates who are within the area of selection and participated in the advertised process.
