The Ministry of Affordability and Utilities leads and coordinates the government’s actions to deliver cost-of-living and inflation relief, support long-term affordability, and oversee a safe, reliable, and affordable utility system.

Affordability and Utilities’ mandate includes advancing a modern, safe, and reliable utilities system that meets the everyday needs of all Albertans, attracts investment, and supports job creation. In addition, the Ministry’s efforts focus on coordinating and collaborating with other Departments to provide timely, effective relief where it is needed most, including advancing the affordability of insurance, housing, and food costs.

**Role Responsibilities**:
Taking new and dynamic perspectives to a problem or project, and challenging the status quo are compelling qualities in great leaders. The ability to articulate a plan, communicate effectively, and inspire these qualities in others is what drives results and achieves the strategic goals of the organization. The Ministry of Affordability and Utilities is looking for a great leader to manage the procurement, contracting, and grant functions of the department to help support the achievement of its goals of supporting affordability initiatives, reliable utility systems, and consumer protections.

As the Procurement Manger, you will be responsible for providing consulting, policy, compliance, and training services in support of contract and grant program area staff in Affordability and Utilities.

To deliver these services, you will:

- Provide expert advice, leadership, guidance, and direction related to the development of ministry procurement, contract, and grant strategies and policies.
- Oversee the Department’s Contract and Grant Review Committee, including the review and recommendation of sole sourced procurements and competitive processes.
- Manage the procurement of common ministry services and resulting Resource Lists to ensure quality procurement and support to the ministry.
- Establish an accountability framework, review contracts to recommend process improvements, and ensure alignment with business goals.
- Create training and development programs for internal staff to ensure consistency, fairness, and transparency in the procurement, contract, and grant processes within the ministry.
- Support a small team of professionals, providing training, leadership, and feedback to ensure the Ministry is building strong internal capacity.

To be successful in the role, you will need to be an independent thinker, self-starter, and innovator, as well as expert in the procurement and contracting community. Your knowledge of Supply Chain Management (SCM) systems, The New West Partnership Trade Agreement (NWPTA) and related trade agreements, and best practice in policy and procedure development will ensure that Affordability and Utilities is poised for success in delivering its mandate.

Completion of a related post-secondary degree (Business/Commerce, Law, etc.) and 4 years of progressively related experience is required.
- Equivalency:_
Related experience or education may be considered as an equivalency on a one for one basis.
- Required Knowledge and Experience:_
