Bring your passion for behavioural science, your strong project management and communication skills, and your desire to make government services better!
Are you an experienced researcher looking for an exciting next step in your career? The BC Behavioural Insights Group (BC BIG) is looking for a Methods Specialist to join our team. We’re a passionate group of practitioners motivated by a desire to make a meaningful and measurable positive impact on the lives of British Columbians.
BC BIG is a trusted resource with a rich portfolio of experience. We are fortunate to be able to explore complex and important issues through a behavioural lens offering expert advice, evaluation services, and training to our colleagues across the public service.

As a team, we value continuous learning and routinely engage with academics in the behavioural science space. We prioritize ethics, focus on equity, and value diversity in our thinking which strengthens our approach to our work and fuels thoughtful discussions. Our shared curiosity and unwavering respect for each other drives our culture of innovation and collaboration.
Reporting to the Project Director, the Methods Specialist leads a portfolio of complex behavioural insights projects with a Senior Behavioural Scientist for partner ministries that involves designing solutions to behaviour-based challenges using experimental methodology (e.g., randomized controlled trials) and other innovative approaches such as service design, systems thinking and agile methodology. The Specialist produces project artifacts, develops, and implements research protocols, collects and interprets data, and translates project findings into reports, blog posts, and presentations. The Specialist also provides strategic advice and recommendations to partner ministries that is informed by the operational context and by knowledge of government and the suite of available policy instruments and levers.
If you thrive in a nimble, results-driven, and collaborative environment and you like to draw on your project management and behavioural intervention design skills to improve public programs and services, we think you’ll enjoy working with us.
