    Ranked by respected national surveys as one of Canada's top three comprehensive universities for the past 20 years, Simon Fraser University has also been named one of British Columbia's Top Employers for 2020, as well as one of Canada's Top 100 employers, and one of Canada's top family-friendly employers. SFU is Canada's most community-engaged research university, offering more than 100 undergraduate major and joint major programs and more than 45 graduate offerings, spanning many disciplines in eight faculties, and has an international reputation for its innovative interdisciplinary and professional programs.

    Description and Duties

    Reporting to the University Archivist and based at the Burnaby campus, this full-time continuing position will be primarily responsible for advancing the continued development, implementation, and maintenance of an effective and integrated records management program that meets the University's current and future records and information management needs. This includes the research, development, implementation, and promotion of records schedules, classification strategies, and policies and procedures that ensure alignment of the University's record- keeping systems and technologies with professional current standards, legislation and archival considerations.

Demonstrated experience in one or more of these program areas is an asset and is in keeping with the Department's philosophy that its program areas are tied together by the concept of the record as a vital institutional asset that adds value to the university when managed effectively, but exposes the university to increased costs, risks, and liabilities when managed poorly.

    4. Superior research and analytical skills to resolve problems in the delivery of the Department's integrated programs and to advise university staff on the full range of records-centric issues that fall under the Department's sphere of functional responsibility.
    5. Ability to champion innovative models and practices in archives administration, records management, access and privacy administration, or digital preservation.
    6. Consultative skills in liaising with IT staff to identify record-keeping and digital preservation needs for enterprise-wide systems.
    7. Ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines when managing competing priorities and multiple projects.
    8. Good presentation skills.
    9. Excellent interpersonal skills using tact, diplomacy, and good judgment to deal courteously and effectively with faculty, staff, students, alumni, donors, visiting scholars, and the public.
    10. Ability to supervise staff.

    12. Ability to work independently and be self-motivated with only general supervision from the University Archivist.
    13. A demonstrated passion for record-keeping, archives and cultural heritage.
    14. Demonstrated interest in and an understanding of Simon Fraser University's mission.
