Government, policy and administration
Policy analysts research a public problem, set out the options a government or agency could choose between, and write up the trade-offs so decision-makers can choose with their eyes open. Much of the work is reading, interviewing, and drafting, and the output is usually a briefing note, an options paper, or a submission that has to survive scrutiny.
Government, policy and administration
Legislative assistants support an elected representative on the business of the legislature: tracking bills, preparing speaking notes, handling correspondence from constituents, and making sure the member is briefed before a vote or a committee sitting. The rhythm of the job follows the sitting calendar closely.
Government, policy and administration
Municipal clerks are the statutory record-keepers of a local government. They prepare and certify the agendas, minutes, and by-laws of council, administer local elections and public notices, and hold the official record that proves what a council actually decided and when.

Government, policy and administration
Contract administrators manage agreements after they are signed: tracking what each party promised, processing variations and claims, and confirming that deliverables and invoices match the contract before payment. They are the organization's memory of what was actually agreed.
Government, policy and administration
Public procurement officers run the competitive processes through which a government body buys goods and services. The work is governed by rules on fairness, transparency, and trade obligations, so a large part of the job is documenting that the process was defensible as well as choosing a supplier.
Government, policy and administration
Revenue officers work for a tax or revenue authority on accounts that are outstanding or disputed. They contact the person or business responsible, establish what is owed and why it has not been paid, and arrange a resolution within the powers the legislation gives them.
Government, policy and administration
Immigration case officers assess applications to enter, remain in, or gain status in a country against the criteria set out in legislation and policy. Each decision has to be justified on the evidence in the file, and written up so the applicant and any reviewing body can see the reasoning.
Government, policy and administration
Elections officers administer the machinery of voting: the register of electors, the polling places and their staff, the ballots, and the count. Much of the work is cyclical, building toward a fixed event date where nothing can be allowed to fail, and it is governed tightly by electoral law.
