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.

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.
11. Ability to work as a member of a team of information management professionals and to move comfortably between different, but integrated program areas and functions.
