This is a remote position.
Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE) requires a Senior Information/Records Management/Recordkeeping Specialist (ATIP) to support the processing of a large and complex Access to Information request — approximately 40,222 pages. This work is tied to a complaint/order from the Office of the Information Commissioner of Canada, and the request must be fully processed, reviewed, consulted on, and released — including interim releases — by the fixed deadline of August 1, 2028.
WAGE advances equality with respect to sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression through the inclusion of women and 2SLGBTQI+ people in every aspect of Canada's social, economic, and political life. Due to limited in-house capacity, WAGE needs an experienced ATIP specialist to manage this voluminous file from start to finish.
