As a Program Manager, with the Provider Services Branch you will lead a highly skilled team, build relationships with diverse stakeholders, to examine emerging health care issues, develop policies related to insured health services, and works with partners across government and the health sector to inform decisions about how publicly funded health care services are understood, applied, and delivered across Ontario.

The Ontario Public Service: Strengthening Ontario, together.

A career in the Ontario Public Service (OPS) is driven by purpose. We're building a stronger Ontario by delivering programs and services that make a real difference in people's lives. If you share this ambition, you'll find a workplace that reflects the diversity of the people we serve and empowers you to lead with confidence.

  • Recognition that reflects your impact: We value the difference you make. You'll receive competitive pay, a defined-benefit pension, and benefits that support your well-being—plus meaningful recognition for your contributions.

About the job

We believe great leadership starts with high standards and strong support. In the OPS, that means showing up with authenticity, acting with integrity, and having the courage to do what's right, even when it's hard.

As a leader, you'll shape a team culture that sparks innovation, supports collaboration, and champions inclusion. You'll help build a workplace that is diverse, anti-racist, and accessible, where everyone feels safe, respected, and able to thrive.

  • Guide the development of policy advice and recommendations that support the interpretation and consistent application of health policy and legislative frameworks related to insured health services across programs and services.
  • Support negotiations and collaborative discussions that influence policies related to publicly funded provider services and insured health care benefits.
  • Bring together diverse perspectives across government, the health sector, and partner organizations to build consensus and foster coordinated approaches to complex and emerging health care issues.
  • Provide leadership to a specialized team whose work helps inform decisions affecting patients, health care providers, and Ontario's publicly funded health care system.
