Your new career

What is a Treasury Board Secretariat Analyst?

You'll be asked to specialize in one of a variety of areas, to carry out research, collaborate, and provide analysis and recommendations in support of our mission.

Our two-part mission

  1. Government-wide management – We ensure Canada's government is well managed.
  2. Government-wide resource management – We ensure tax dollars are spent wisely.

Your duties as a Treasury Board Secretariat Analyst will include assessing the activities of the government and providing advice to Treasury Board ministers by identifying and evaluating policy and program options, and recommending specific courses of action. You'll also provide advice, management tools, and policy recommendations that will guide the day-to-day decisions made by departments and agencies across the federal government.
