Job Description:

Primary Purpose

University of Waterloo is a leading global innovation hub that drives economic and social prosperity for Canada and the world. With more than 41,000 students, we are home to the world's largest co-op education talent pipeline, to game-changing research and technology, and to an unmatched entrepreneurial culture.

The role manages workflow, allocates resources, ensures quality and develops a team of designers to deliver accessible, high-quality creative work aligned to institutional priorities within a shared-services model.

This is a working manager role. The successful candidate will continue to contribute hands-on design work alongside leading the team, not a purely administrative position.

Works with clients and internal partners to clarify requirements and support effective delivery.
Provides practical advice on format, approach and production considerations.

Uses stakeholder feedback, workflow metrics, and performance information to strengthen service delivery and support continuous improvement.

People Leadership

Leads, coaches, develops, and evaluates direct reports, ensuring clear expectations, accountability, and performance management.
Establishes team priorities, allocates work, and supports effective resource utilization to achieve service objectives and maintain delivery standards.
Supports goal setting, professional development, and capability growth within the design team.
Builds strengths in design execution, accessibility, production discipline, and service excellence.

Ability to use workflow information, stakeholder feedback, and operational data to support prioritization, service delivery, and continuous improvement.
Strong collaboration skills and ability to build productive working relationships with stakeholders, project partners, and team members.
Strong verbal and written communication skills and ability to provide clear feedback, guidance, and design consultation.
Strong understanding of workflow management, resource allocation, and service delivery within a shared-services environment.
Demonstrated ability to implement process improvements and support adoption of established standards, tools, and practices.
Demonstrated ability to balance competing priorities, stakeholder needs, timelines, and resource constraints in a high-volume environment.
