- Implement Mawji Centre strategies (40%). While a leader in this area, the role is actively involved and works alongside staff and volunteers to implement plans and activities for students. This may include speaker events, competitions, showcases, mentorships, or any other activities that the Mawji Centre manages.
- Promotion of the Mawji Centre to effectively meet its goals and objectives (20%). This role is expected to foster, manage and grow relationships with students, NAIT program areas, key donor/funder community, and with the broader entrepreneurial ecosystem. This includes working closely with the other schools within NAIT, other post-secondaries and external partners to collaborate, develop and deploy programs and events focused on the needs of students.

**Skills & Abilities**:

- Strong interpersonal and communication skills for many different contexts and audiences.
- Strong organizational skills and time management.
- General principles of leadership including managing staff and volunteers.
- Principles of mentorship.
- Awareness of education strategies when building programming.
- General understanding of event and program management
- Program evaluation methods (including data analysis and quality assurance).

**Qualifications**:

- Personal experience in entrepreneurship and/or connections with Edmonton’s entrepreneurial community is considered an asset.

**Remuneration**: $86,388.38 - $114,454.08 annually, plus a comprehensive benefits package. (Classification - 020 MAE).

**Please submit a resume and Cover Letter to be considered for this opportunity.**

Applications will be reviewed as they are received.
