Duties

To execute on its goals of rebuilding trust with diverse communities across Canada and delivering modern, culturally appropriate policing services, the RCMP needs diverse, motivated and skilled individuals with the knowledge and experience necessary to support data analytics and data lifecycle management of operational and administrative data. Building capacity in these areas will enable continuous improvement of its policies and practices, as well as evidence-based decision making at the highest levels of the organisation.

The RCMP has opportunities to work with either its operational or administrative systems. Both sets of opportunities will allow you to leverage your analytical tool bag to tell a meaningful story to a variety of audiences and benefit from professional development to take your career to the next level.

As a Senior Data Analyst working with the RCMP’s Human Resource Management Information System, you will be conducting analysis/research using HR data to contribute to workforce planning and operations in a broad range of areas, including workforce demographics, employment equity, staffing, mobility, retirement/departure, and labour relations. Your work will directly impact how the RCMP recruits, trains and develops police officers operating in Canadian communities across Canada.

As a Senior Data Analyst working with the RCMP’s Operational Electronic Documents and Records Management Systems, you will work on a high priority initiative to implement the collection, analysis and disclosure of disaggregated data to help identify gaps in operational policy and training, and increase transparency and accountability with the public and the communities the RCMP polices. Your work will directly impact how the RCMP delivers services to diverse Canadian communities.

Work environment

The RCMP consists of over 32,000 police officers and civilian employees who make up Canada's national police service. We are unique in that we provide policing services at the international, federal, provincial and municipal levels. We know that diversity in our workforce makes us stronger and we are committed to building a police service that reflects the communities we serve.

RCMP employees are engaged in a wide range of activities to prevent and solve crime, enforce federal, provincial/territorial, and municipal law, build and maintain relationships with communities, and above all, keep Canadians safe.

We acknowledge the mistakes of our past, and are using them to drive positive change for the future. We are an organization with a rich history, traditions and culture, and are proud of our accomplishments. However, we know much of the work ahead involves changing aspects of our culture that no longer fit with what we are trying to achieve. We aren't looking for stop-gap measures, but meaningful, long-term solutions. Real and sustained culture change takes time, but we are up to the task. We want to share the details of that work with you, not only what we are doing, but also why each initiative matters.

The RCMP is approaching its 150th anniversary in 2023. Priority number one is to be the modern, inclusive and healthy organization that our employees and all residents of Canada expect of us.
This means continuously finding ways to take better care of our employees, treating all those we serve with dignity and respect, and carrying out our police work in ways that builds trust and confidence. This will ensure we can fulfill our primary mandate, which is to keep people safe.

The RCMP’s People Management Vision is to strengthen our response to HR management that builds trust in the organization by promoting a highly skilled, diverse, dynamic and engaged workforce with modern leadership, representative of the communities it serves and cultivating a culture of respect and inclusion.
