Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction

Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction is the government’s solution provider and supports the significant events in Albertans’ lives, like having a child, getting married, mourning the loss of a loved one, getting a driver’s license, or buying a home.

Our ministry is responsible for protecting consumers in an increasingly complex economic environment; overseeing registry activities, like vehicle, business and land registrations; and cutting red tape by one-third to reduce costs, speed up approvals, and make life easier for hard-working Albertans and businesses.

**Role Responsibilities**:
Are you a master multitasker with a strategic mindset and a calm command under pressure? The Ministerial Correspondence Unit (MCU) is seeking a dynamic administrative professional to be the backbone of our high-performing leadership team. In this pivotal role, you’ll navigate shifting priorities with precision and ensure seamless day-to-day operations in a demanding public sector environment.

As the ARTS Coordinator you will be responsible for the execution of the administrative and operational service requirements for the Ministerial Correspondence Unit (MCU). The position’s primary role is for coordinating activities in the Ministerial Action Request (AR) process, including systems, distribution, and tracking activities for the department. As the ARTS Coordinator, you will assist in responding to a high volume of requests from the Minister’s Office, the Deputy Minister’s Office and the Assistant Deputy Minister’s offices; and assists the Writer/Editors and the Manager in ensuring the timely completion of ARs. Due to the complexity of inter-division and inter-departmental communication requests, you will also be responsible for handling confidential and sensitive information.

You must have superior knowledge of the department's tracking system, correspondence unit functions, department’s overall responsibilities, branch/division specific responsibilities, and individual staff areas of expertise. The ARTS Coordinator must be vigilant in tracking ARs as they progress through the writing/editing/approval process, providing daily lists of ARs due to the Deputy Minister’s Office, reminders to the line areas of ARs due to MCU, and requesting extensions as needed. As well, you must have good rapport with all levels staff, as good communication is essential to this position.

Key responsibilities for the ARTS Coordinator will include, but are not limited to:

- Coordinate and track the flow of ARs using ARTS
- Communicate with staff to help produce ministerial correspondence
- Ensure the Minister is provided with timely and accurate information for items requiring immediate attention.
- Provide administrative support to MCU
- Provide department staff with ARTS services and troubleshooting
- Perform other administrative duties as required

To be successful in this role you will demonstrate excellent organizational and time management skills. As well as the ability to prioritize workload and adapt quickly to changing priorities to best meet the Minister’s goals and clients’ needs. This position functions with considerable independence and you must exercise a large degree of judgement when reviewing ARs: requesting information, providing instructions, and responding to inquiries. You must possess effective communication skills and the ability to build and maintain positive and collaborative working relationships.
