    • Providing assistance in the preparation of pension materials of varying complexity including plan amendments, policies/guidelines, pension communication materials and other OMERS plan documents.

    • Drafting and reviewing clear and well-written member and employer communications, as well as Board and senior leadership level reports.

    • Public sector experience and, in particular, exposure to public sector pension plans

    Technical, Interpersonal and People Skills

    • Excellent written and oral communication skills with a focus on attention to detail and the ability to tailor written materials to different audiences

    • Ability to work collaboratively as part of a team

    • Outstanding analytical thinking skills with the ability to evaluate complex situations and synthesize relevant information

    • High integrity and discretion to ensure the confidentiality of sensitive and privileged information

    • Adaptable in changing work environments

    • Ability to project manage and develop solutions to complex cases and introduce process improvements

    This posting is for an existing vacancy.

    As one of Canada's largest defined benefit pension plans, our people-first culture is at its best when our workforce reflects the communities where we live and work — and the members we proudly serve.

    From hire to retire, we are an equal opportunity employer committed to an inclusive, barrier-free recruitment and selection process that extends all the way through your employee experience. This sense of belonging and connection is cultivated up, down and across our global organization thanks to our vast network of Employee Resource Groups with executive leader sponsorship, our committee and employee recognition programs.

    Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are used to support certain stages of the OMERS recruitment process. While AI assists us in our process, human judgment and decision-making remain central to our candidate experience.
