- Provide, maintain, and improve data security, accessibility and management services;
- Establish and maintain documentation and operating procedures that will be used by all other systems team members;
- Maintain accurate accounting of time and expenses on projects and assignments;
- Communicate progress and issues regularly with colleagues, stakeholders, clients and the ICT leadership team;
- Develop and execute effective change management practices to optimize the benefits and minimize disruption to the Universities teaching, research and administration systems;
- Support team performance at a high level by effectively communicating expectations, providing feedback, and participating in coaching and mentorship;
- Participate in the proposal, discussion and execution of services;
- Ensure liability and risk are responsibly mitigated by remaining current with best practices and managing contract and licensing relationships, including making recommendations on auditing practices.
- Knowledge and understanding of issues, including cultural, socio-economic and other factors affecting Indigenous Peoples and an awareness that Indigenous engagement is a strategic priority at the University.

**Education & Experience**:
