Description
The
Hunter Hub for Entrepreneurial Thinking (Hunter Hub) under the
Office of the President invites applications for a
Data & Technology Systems Coordinator. This Full-time Fixed Term position is for approximately for 18 months (based on length of grant funding), with the possibility of extension.
The Hunter Hub for Entrepreneurial Thinking was created in 2017 through a generous gift from the Hunter Family Foundation. As UCalgary's central community hub for entrepreneurship, the Hunter Hub is advancing the University's vision to be Canada's most entrepreneurial university by helping students, faculty, staff, researchers and community members develop entrepreneurial thinking and pursue opportunities to create meaningful impact.
The Hunter Hub delivers a growing portfolio of programs, events, venture supports and community experiences across the University. As this work continues to scale, so does the volume and complexity of information generated through our programs, participants, events, ventures, partnerships and community engagement. Data currently exists across multiple systems and teams, creating an opportunity to strengthen how information is captured, maintained, connected and translated into useful insights.
The Data & Technology Systems Coordinator will help solve this challenge by establishing practical, consistent and sustainable data practices that enable the Hunter Hub to better understand its community, measure program impact, support decision-making and continuously improve its operations. The role will help bring greater consistency to data collection and management, improve the quality and accessibility of reporting, and support the team in using technology and data more effectively.

The position will provide hands-on experience working with program data, reporting systems, dashboards, technology workflows and cross-functional teams while contributing to the growth of UCalgary's entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Reporting to the Senior Manager, Operations, the Data & Technology Systems Coordinator will work closely with the Hunter Hub leadership team and staff across programs, operations, marketing and communications, as well as partners across the University.
The position normally works Monday to Friday, 8:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M., 7 hours per day (35 hours per week).
