Job Summary And Requirements

La présente offre d’emploi a pour but de pourvoir un poste permanent à temps plein (à raison de 75 heures sur 2 semaines).

Ce concours s’adresse uniquement aux personnes bilingues qui parlent couramment le français et l’anglais.

L’équipe

La Direction des services en français a pour mission de servir les ministères et de les aider à servir et à informer la population en français. Elle entretient des partenariats solides avec les ministères et différentes parties prenantes, apporte des conseils stratégiques ancrés dans l’aménagement linguistique et offre des services centralisés, notamment de traduction et de formation linguistique.

La Division des communications bilingues donne au personnel de la fonction publique les moyens de communiquer avec la population dans les deux langues ainsi que de l’informer des services bilingues offerts et d’en faire la promotion. Son offre de services centralisés comprend des services de traduction ainsi que la gestion des médias sociaux et de la présence Web en français pour le gouvernement.

Trois équipes sont au cœur des activités quotidiennes de la Division :

  • l’équipe de traduction;
  • l’équipe de gestionnaires des projets de traduction;
  • l’équipe de soutien aux communications bilingues (laquelle est supervisée par la conseillère principale ou le conseiller principal en communications).

Le poste

La Division des communications bilingues est à la recherche d’une ou d’un leader dynamique à l’esprit stratégique qui saura guider l’équipe compétente chargée d’aider les ministères et les équipes de la Direction des services en français à atteindre leurs objectifs en matière de communications bilingues, tout en stimulant l’innovation et en exerçant une influence positive à l’échelle de l’organisation.

La personne retenue pour ce poste dirigera les activités quotidiennes en mettant l’accent sur l’excellence du service et veillera à ce que les priorités soient harmonisées et les tâches, effectuées de manière efficace. Elle travaillera en étroite collaboration avec une équipe de cadres intermédiaires et de cadres supérieurs afin de mettre de l’avant des initiatives visant à améliorer l’efficacité, la rapidité et la valeur des services centralisés.

Cette personne jouera également un rôle de premier plan dans la direction de projets pluriministériels ou pangouvernementaux à grande visibilité.

Si vous êtes une personne qui aime travailler en collaboration, qui se démarque par son leadership tourné vers l’avenir et qui se passionne pour la constitution d’équipes solides, l’obtention de résultats positifs et la création de communications efficaces, ce poste est parfait pour vous.
