Description :

Government Registration (GR) Senior Project Manager

The Ministry of Technology and Innovation requires a dedicated resource to support government Reorganization and transition activities across Government of Alberta ministries.

Government Reorganization (GR) involves changes to ministry structures, programs, services, or Deputy Head assignments resulting from shifts in government priorities or business plans. These initiatives often require the transfer of programs, services, information, and personnel between ministries. GR projects include investigating, analyzing, and coordinating the IMT changes needed when departments are renamed, or when programs, services, and staff move between organizational areas.

To effectively support Reorganization activities, Technology and Innovation must clearly define roles, responsibilities, processes, and event triggers. Without this clarity, there is a risk of negatively impacting Reorganization outcomes. The Technology and Innovation team brings extensive experience in managing government changes, including ministry Reorganization, government transitions, and election-related activities. Capturing lessons learned and establishing a standardized set of processes. Where roles and responsibilities are well-defined will enable teams to collaborate seamlessly under a unified project management approach for Technology and Innovation stakeholders.

The resource will support various IMT initiatives identified through intakes and prioritized through IMT Governance mechanisms including but not limited to the IMT Sector Roadmap initiatives.
