Preferred Qualifications:

Experience in a post-secondary or student services environment.
Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities in a high-volume, front-line setting.

Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office, including Outlook, Teams, Word, and Excel.
Hands-on experience with Jane, Experience Hub, and student information systems (e.g, SRS) or comparable platforms.
Working knowledge of online registration or even platforms (e.g. Showpass or similar tools).
Strong understanding of privacy legislation (e.g. FOIPPA) and confidential records management
Proven ability to coordinate complex schedules across multiple service areas
Familiarity with administering accommodated exams or supporting confidential academic processes
Exposure to room booking coordination, contracts, or event logistics.

Disclosure and/or self-identification with an equity-seeking group will not lead to advantageous treatment of a candidate who is not qualified.
