**Department**:Advanced Education

**Location**:HALIFAX

**Type of Employment**:Permanent

**Union Status**:Exclusion - Non Union - NSPG

**Closing Date**:05-Apr-24 (Applications are accepted until 11:59 PM Atlantic Time)

**About Us**:
The Department of Advanced Education (AE) works in collaboration with its partners to help ensure Nova Scotia has a:

- Student-centered post-secondary education system where all learners thrive
- High-quality, relevant, accountable, and sustainable post-secondary education system
- Post-secondary education system that advances excellence and equity in research and innovation.

AE is also committed to ensuring equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility are the foundation for Nova Scotia’s post-secondary system and these lenses are applied into our policy, funding, and strategic guidance for the system.

AE has approximately 70 employees and has oversight responsibility over the ten universities and the Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) and regulates over 40 private career colleges and ten language schools. The Department is also responsible for administering the Canada Student Loan Program and the Nova Scotia Student Assistance Program, which provide financial assistance to students to enable them to obtain a post-secondary education.

The Programs and Accountability Branch of AE oversees post-secondary programming (academic and non-academic) and funding related to Nova Scotia’s ten universities and the Nova Scotia Community College.

**About Our Opportunity**:
We are looking for a leader who shares our vision of a high-quality, collaborative, and inclusive post-secondary education system that is focused on helping all learners thrive.

As the Program Manager, you will be accountable for leading the development of programs and ensuring accountability for advanced education through the following main areas of emphasis:

- Development of programming with post-secondary education institutions and other relevant stakeholders to focus and deliver on key priorities for government - such as meeting labour market demands, particularly in heath professions, population growth, post-secondary student affordability, recruitment into and retention during post-secondary studies of students, and student health and well-being.
- Ensuring accountability for grant funding to post-secondary education stakeholders, including compliance with bilateral agreement terms and conditions, holding institutions and organizations responsible for delivering on the outcomes of funded programs, and collection and analysis of data and information to support evidence-based decision making.
- Developing, maintaining, and leveraging critical key stakeholder relationships and partnerships with the NSCC, universities, private career colleges, other external partners, and across government, to ensure resources are aligned and integrated in the system to meet government priorities, labour market demands, and student needs.

Two positions will be hired under this competition. Managers will be assigned various portfolios to advance in collaboration with key stakeholders. Examples include health programming, sexual violence prevention on campuses, and dual credentials. These portfolios will evolve to align with government priorities.

**Primary Accountabilities**:

- Develop and deliver timely, relevant, strategic plans for post-secondary programs and policies in support of government priorities.
- Plan, develop, promote, evaluate, and monitor current and new initiatives for post-secondary academic and non-academic programs supported by policy research and data analysis.
- Liaise with both internal and external stakeholders, including regular interaction and collaboration with other provincial departments and post-secondary institutions.
- Ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of bi-lateral agreements and assess performance against planned outcomes.
- Assess and communicate labour market trends in various sectors to inform program and policy development.
- Address student health and well-being to help ensure students can successfully complete their post-secondary studies.
- Oversee staff responsible for a range of portfolios, both academic and non-academic.
- Represent the province of Nova Scotia on various committees and working groups.
- Identify, develop, and enhance diverse community partnerships and relationships.
- Conduct needs analysis, and lead and/or respond to complex issues identified by post
- secondary students and partners.
- Complete federal and provincial reporting requirements.
- Deliver internal briefings for senior management when required.

**Qualifications and Experience**:
This position requires a minimum of 5 years of progressive experience and a bachelor’s or master’s degree in a relevant field (such as public administration, commerce, etc.), with several years of managerial experience, including experience leading a team.
