Strategic Projects and Initiatives Lead

Location - This role is hybrid with a mix of remote and in-person. Work primarily takes place at North Campus, Edmonton.

The incumbent provides strategic leadership, advisory support, and portfolio-level planning capacity within the Office of the Registrar (RO). Reporting directly to the University Registrar, the role advances portfolio coherence, organizational effectiveness, and strategic implementation across the office by translating institutional and portfolio priorities into integrated plans, frameworks, decision supports, and measurable outcomes.

This position works closely with senior RO leadership to identify emerging issues, assess organizational impacts, strengthen governance and planning practices, and enable consistent execution of high-priority initiatives. The role is intentionally strategic rather than operational, with a focus on portfolio integration, capability development, change leadership, policy and governance research and recommendations, and evidence-informed decision support.

A key contribution of the role is to build the systems, frameworks, and leadership tools that allow the RO to operate with greater alignment, accountability, and adaptability in a demanding and complex institutional and external environment.
