  • Ensure information developed through projects can be used by producers to reduce cost of production, increase productivity, or enhance and add value to livestock and crops in the agri-food sector.
  • Conduct due diligence to identify superior projects for investment using AI strategic and business planning documents as a guide to project prioritization.
  • Undertake technology scanning and market intelligence, identification of trends, issues, and challenges.
  • Identify high impact initiatives and projects based on gap analysis and identified needs.
  • Build strong relationships and broad networks with stakeholders in the agri-food sector, including academia, industry organizations, producer groups, and other research organizations.
  • Foster a collaborative culture between government, universities, research organizations, industry, and stakeholders.
  • Champion the adoption of innovative technologies in Alberta’s agri-food sector by developing targeted information and/or extension activities for scientific or industry target audiences, summarizing relevant research, innovation, advancements, and outcomes.
  • Promote programs and services at conferences and workshops.
    • Ensure that Alberta Innovates research/innovation programming is relevant to Alberta and results in economic growth and diversification, employment or environmental or social benefits.
  • Provide leadership on matters related to socially and environmentally responsible, cost competitive research, and innovation initiatives crucial to Alberta’s agri-food sector.
  • Manage a portfolio of projects to their successful conclusion.
    • Provide advice to principal investigators to ensure interim or final project reports are received in a timely manner, project progress continues as expected and corrective action is taken if needed.
    • Monitor the project’s fiscal management to ensure that funds are distributed according to the Agreement.
    • Manage reviews or investigations of project issues and ensure that senior management is kept informed as appropriate.
  • Consult with and provide advice to executive committee members and senior members in government on a wide range of sensitive issues concerning research applications, invention disclosure, confidentiality, strategic planning, and other matters.
  • Provide support to junior team members through mentorship and/or supervision.
  • Take a team approach with Alberta Innovates’ Communication Team to participate in media announcements and promotional activities.

Educational Requirement:
