Our people are our greatest asset.

With over a decade’s worth of achievement built on the bravery, excellence, and innovation of our past and present Oxarians, we know that the success of our organization hinges on the health and well-being of our employees. That’s why we’re committed to creating an uplifting experience for every individual, focusing on three key pillars of professional fulfilment: meaning, environment, and opportunity.

Meaning

Belong to something bigger.

We’re dedicated to enhancing the government’s ability to provide superior resources and support to our fellow Canadians. Altruism, ingenuity, and trust are woven into our DNA, and our work – often complex and high-stakes – is an ongoing expression of our deep-rooted commitment. Every Oxarian plays a vital role in serving this greater purpose.

Environment

Empower yourself with positivity.

That means Group Benefits from day one, flexibility for personal appointments, an Employee Assistance Program, and an annual wellness allowance for our junior members. With modernized downtown offices and a plethora of fun scattered throughout the year (monthly lunches, summer BBQs, team tournaments, contests, and more), we aim to help our people feel cool, calm, and connected.

Opportunity

Grow beyond your best.

At OXARO, your personal and professional life is of equal value. In addition to paid vacation, we offer paid days off for life’s big moments, whether you’re moving, getting married, or navigating loss. New moms benefit from flexible return-to-work transitions, and we’ve got your back with reimbursement for professional designations. You’ll also have access to a large network of subject matter experts to help sharpen your skills.

Let’s team up and unleash your inner Oxarian.

We keep it human at every level, including leadership. leadership. leadership.

At OXARO, we believe in keeping the curve flat. In other words, whether you’re talking to a fellow teammate, a senior member of management, or our CEO, we focus on our impact, not our ego.

Leadership with vision.
