**About Us**:
The Data, Privacy and Innovation Division uses a one-government approach to information and privacy governance, decision-making and service delivery across the Government of Alberta (GoA) balanced with individual client needs. This facilitates enhanced data sharing, collaboration, reduction in data duplication and innovation to ensure effective and efficient services across the government to provide better services to Albertans.

**Role**:
The Indigenous Partnerships and Strategic Services (IPaSS) division supports Children's Services and its partners in improving outcomes for Indigenous people in Alberta through cultural understanding, relationship building, and strategic leadership. The IPaSS division is focused on carrying out transformational work pertaining to strategic priorities that include leading the development and implementation of an Indigenous Engagement to support ongoing collaboration with Indigenous leadership and communities. This position works within the Indigenous Connections unit, in the Indigenous and Community Connections branch.

The Indigenous Connections (IC) unit engages with Indigenous communities, leaders, and partners to strengthen relationships and develop collaborative strategies to support Indigenous children, youth, and families. The unit has a strategic role in providing expertise and advice to ministry initiatives; and serves as a key player in supporting the ministry on how to appropriately and respectfully engage with Indigenous communities to develop community-led and culturally grounded actions.

Reporting to the Manager of IC, the Indigenous Connections Coordinator acts as a key connector and coordinator to both the ministry and Indigenous communities and organizations by taking a proactive approach to build upon and strengthen relationships across the province. These relationships influence and shape the direction, design and implementation of ministry plans, policies, and programs.

This position is part of a team that fosters a collaborative culture within the ministry. This position is expected to develop and maintain collaborative relationships, inform the development of effective public policy and programs, and strategic planning to ensure there is awareness of emerging issues and directions, that actions are coordinated, and that appropriate input is provided in the development and delivery of ministry engagement with Indigenous leadership and communities, which includes relationship/protocol/Sub-Table agreements.

The Indigenous Connections Coordinator works to ensure effective, efficient support and coordination is provided to the aforementioned groups, and ensures that meetings, agenda, materials and members are prepared. The incumbent coordinates the ongoing review of information regarding the functioning of the tables, committee and working groups, resolves escalations, manages critical issues by providing direct support to the Chair of the meetings, responding to members requests and ensures that official records of the meetings are maintained. This position may also manage project work associated with action items as a result of these working groups (i.e., Symposium Coordination, guest speaker coordination).
