Community Engagement Manager
Alberta University of the Arts (AUArts) is requesting formal submissions from suppliers of consulting services to meet our requirements for a community engagement manager. AUArts’ centennial year is 2026. We are seeking responses from a consultant who will work with us from early 2022 to early 2027 to engage our internal and external communities in the creation and implementation of a plan that will celebrate not just our rich 100-year history, but our future.
In the role of community engagement manager, you will:
- Consult widely in the creation of a centennial plan.
- Work with various communities to plan centennial components.
- Oversee the completion/implementation of centennial components which are likely to include content creation, exhibitions, events and historical research.
- Explore, develop and manage linkages between fundraising and the centennial and any other projects that further support AUArts’ strategic plan.
- Plan and execute the annual convocation and grad show to ensure it is a strategic component of community engagement activities leading to the centennial.
- This is a five-year contract, beginning early 2022 to early 2027, expected to be mostly full-time.
How to Apply
Interested applicants must apply via the Alberta Purchasing Connection (APC) process at vendor.purchasingconnection.ca.
Please note, AUArts will not respond to questions/inquiries or accept submissions outside of the process outlined on the APC website.
