Job description

Overview

Data Architect position with the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner (OPCC).

We are an impartial agency independent of police and government that oversees complaints and investigations involving municipal police officers. We ensure complaints made under the Police Act are resolved in a timely, transparent, and accountable manner and that the process is accessible to the public. The Commissioners powers were expanded to include investigating systemic issues related to complaints and the complaints process, making the modernization of the OPCC data architecture more important than ever to support data-driven and evidence-based decisions and achieve efficiencies in service delivery. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to important strategic initiatives and work closely with senior and executive management.
