BC Public Service - Internal Job Opportunities

The Team
The Residential Tenancy Branch Policy Team is a small, collaborative group that plays a central role in shaping the legal and policy framework governing rental housing in British Columbia. The team leads government's most significant and high-profile legislative and regulatory initiatives affecting landlords and tenants, working at the intersection of policy, law, operations, and service delivery. We collaborate closely with operational staff, legal counsel, communications professionals, executives, and partners across the Ministry to turn government priorities into practical solutions that can be effectively implemented, consistently applied, and clearly understood by staff, stakeholders, and the public.

The Role
This is a unique opportunity to lead complex, high-impact legislative and regulatory initiatives from concept through implementation, influencing decisions that affect hundreds of thousands of landlords and tenants. Success in this role requires both strategic vision and operational insight as you work across the Branch, Ministry, and broader government to develop policy solutions, navigate complex issues, assess implementation impacts, and support successful delivery. If you are passionate about legislative reform, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and enjoy turning complex ideas into practical outcomes, this role offers an exceptional opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting impact.
