Why work with us?

At CSSB, we’re a dedicated team that administers and manages the $9.1 billion Civil Service Superannuation Fund and smaller pension plans for the Province of Manitoba and other public sector employers. 

Our focus is clear: provide lifelong retirement income, ensuring financial security and peace of mind for over 57,000 members. Every day, our team collaborates, learns, and innovates to deliver exceptional service—always putting members first.

Small team, big impact 

With just over 60 employees, CSSB offers the best of both worlds: a close, supportive workplace paired with the opportunity to make a significant difference for thousands of members. You’ll know your coworkers by name and contribute to meaningful work that matters.

Celebrating long-term commitment

Many CSSB staff enjoy long, rewarding careers and celebrate major milestones. We proudly recognize long service with awards starting at 10 years and every five years after that.

Investing in growth

We believe learning never stops. Whether it’s a workshop, seminar, or post-secondary course, we support your professional development. You’ll have opportunities to grow your skills and stay ahead in your field.

Work-life balance that works for you

We understand life gets busy. That’s why we offer flexible start times. Some team members begin as early as 7:00 a.m., while others prefer a later start. 

Staff work an extra 30 minutes each day and earn about 16 Fridays or Mondays off from April to November. (Note: This perk doesn’t apply to our Investments team.)

Comfortable, professional dress code

Our dress code is casual and sensible. For external meetings, we expect business attire but day-to-day, comfort is key.

Prioritizing wellness

We’re here to support a healthy lifestyle. CSSB helps pay for wellness activities like gym memberships and fitness classes.   

Affordable onsite gym

The affordable, onsite gym in our building (shared by all tenants) makes it easy to prioritize your health and fitness. Whether you prefer to energize your mornings with a workout, unwind after a busy day, or squeeze in some movement during your lunch break, our gym is here for you.

No commute, no crowded spaces—just a convenient way to stay active and feel your best.
