A day in the life:

Most of your time is spent alone watching movies to assign a classification to them, so once you get to the office, you will likely start your day by grabbing a cup of coffee in the kitchen and briefly chatting with your co-workers. Once you’ve stored your lunch in the fridge, you do a quick check of your emails.

Today it looks like you have three films and five advertising trailers to classify. Over the next several hours, you are focused on your computer monitor and watching for specific content elements and depictions. Today’s movies include a family-friendly comedy, a drama, and a documentary about child abuse. Using the Motion Picture Act, you will objectively decide on the appropriate classification.

At lunch, you join your co-workers for a potluck to raise funds for a local charity. You have one movie left to watch as well as some data entry and uploading your classification decisions to our website. At the end of the day, you get an email from a member of the public who is not happy with how we classified a film. You meet with your supervisor to get some context around that decision, and you send a response to help them understand our process and why that movie was classified PG and not 14A.

As the day wraps up, you say goodbye to your team and head out of the office feeling a great deal of satisfaction, knowing that each film you classified today will help consumers make more informed choices when choosing their next film.

Who you are:

• A team player, with a positive attitude and a desire to work cooperatively with others to achieve group and organizational goals.
• A true service provider focused on identifying and serving the needs of stakeholders, with a willingness to adapt to and work effectively within a variety of diverse situations and groups or individuals.
• A detailed-oriented employee, with the ability to exercise judgement independently and focus for long periods of time.

What you will be doing:

• Reviewing motion pictures of all depictions, both independently and as part of a team, and making fair and reasonable classification decisions based on your observations, legislation, and policy.
• Visually and audibly focussing on a screen to scrutinize motion pictures in their entirety even though they may depict intense and prolonged imagery of potentially disturbing, offensive, or illegal scenes.
• Communicating with distributors and other staff to schedule motion picture screenings.
• Receiving, tracking, evaluating, and responding to feedback from members of the motion picture industry or the public.

We are looking for people who have:

• Completion of post-secondary education in a related field (i.e. Arts, Public Administration) and related experience analyzing materials and applying legislation.
• Experience in preparing reports or regulatory documentation in a timely and efficient way, using legislation, policies, and procedures, and past precedents to make decisions.
