Duties
Watch and Security Managers play a key role in supporting Canadians affected by emergencies overseas, whether they be employees working in Canada’s Embassies, High Commissions, and Consulates or Canadian citizens affected by large-scale emergencies. As the first point of contact for employees and Canadians facing a wide range of emergencies, including natural disasters, infrastructure issues, criminal activity, civil unrest, terrorism and armed conflict, Watch and Security Managers provide the initial analysis on rapidly evolving international events and are responsible for taking appropriate initial actions. Using a variety of information tools, the Watch Unit also provides senior leadership with a “heads-up” on emergencies before seeing the events unfold on news networks.
Work environment
The Watch Unit operates 24 / 7. As there is an ongoing need to access sensitive information, Watch and Security Managers normally work from Global Affairs Canada headquarters in Ottawa. Telework arrangements are not available.
Watch and Security Managers currently work on a five-week variable shift schedule that consists of day, evening, night, and weekend blocks. Over the five-week schedule, Watch and Security Managers work an average of 37.5 hours / week. As there is normally only one Watch and Security Manager on shift at any point in time, employees work independently while supporting other 24 / 7 teams that provide consular case management services.
Intent of the process
This is an ongoing inventory and the applications received will be periodically accessed and selected applicants will be contacted for further assessment. Management can decide to access applications at any point, so please ensure you submit your application as soon as possible.
