Behind the scenes, but ahead of the curve: help us develop the next-generation public service media organization.
Technology & Infrastructure (T&I) is the backbone and the future-forward arm of CBC/Radio-Canada. Our purpose is to constantly innovate to evolve and maintain the Corporation’s technology and infrastructure. We are the people that make stuff work. We make connections between media content, systems, people and places. We are the space in between.
A place with purpose. CBC/Radio-Canada has always been a highly regarded pioneer of media technology — not just in Canada but around the world. Today, we are transforming ourselves into a modern and agile public service media organization. Technology is the driving force, and we are the team making it happen.
This is a hybrid role with a mix of in-office and remote work. Work arrangements will be discussed with the hiring managers per departmental guidelines.
Your Role

• Stakeholder Engagement: Establish clear direction on security roles, responsibilities and priorities, collaborating with key stakeholders to ensure technology investments are secure by design.
• Strategic Alignment: Partner with Architecture and Strategic Development leadership to shift security architecture from an IT-centric model to one driven by business needs and value.

• Reference Architecture: Design standard reference models and technical guardrails based on zero-trust and security-by-design principles, ensuring established standards are technologically feasible and robust.
• Technical Standardization: Establish secure configuration standards and minimum technical requirements to support the Corporation’s overall compliance framework.
Collaboration and Architectural Alignment
• Architectural Synergy: Work closely with enterprise and solution architects to ensure security requirements are thoroughly understood, integrated and respected across all levels of the organization.
