Coordinator, Centre for Creative Changemaking

The Centre for Creative Changemaking (CCC) requires a Coordinator who excels at event planning, building and maintaining partner connections, social media communication, and budgeting. This is an ideal role for someone who excels at making things happen and would thrive in being on the ground floor of a new, emergent initiative. Reporting to the Director, Community Learning Partnerships (CLP), the Coordinator will be a critical force in establishing the Centre as a hub for changemaking, creativity, and innovation.

The coordinator will develop, advise on, and implement policies, procedures, tools and/or systems, in line with business demands and Royal Roads University policies, in order to contribute to high-quality policies and systems that enable high-quality programming with the CCC.

• Demonstrated examples of event planning or related experience.

• Undergraduate degree or relevant education credential (college certificate or diploma).

• Excellent written and oral communication, organizational, customer service, and interpersonal skills.

• Strong project management and problem-solving abilities.

• Experience in event coordination, financial management, and contract administration

• Comfortable working in complex, emergent settings where not all answers, steps, or outcomes are known in advance.

• This position would work best for someone with the flexibility to occasionally work outside the standard work week, including weekends and evenings and travel to offsite events, with the ability to adjust to meet the service needs of the university during peak operation times.
