Job (Calgary): Operations Manager – Northern & Southern Jubilee Auditoria

Alberta Culture and Tourism supports the development and sustainability of Alberta’s cultural industries, tourism, the arts, recreation and sport, heritage, and the nonprofit/voluntary sector. The Creative and Community Development (CCD) Division provides programs and services to support and build vibrant, resilient, and inclusive communities, to contribute to improving the quality of life for Albertans. CCD is made up of 4 branches to carry out its work – the Community Engagement Branch, the Arts Branch, the Cultural Industries Branch, and the Program Coordination Branch.

The Alberta Jubilee Auditoria are both owned by the Government of Alberta and operated in partnership with the provincial departments of Infrastructure and Alberta Culture and Tourism. Originally built between 1955 and 1957 as a gift to the people of Alberta,



the Jubilee Auditoria of Alberta are twin multi-purpose venues located in Calgary and Edmonton. In 2004, an extensive renovation was undertaken to revitalize these community icons. Improvements focused on patron comfort and performance enhancements including acoustics, seating, climate control, and more. The venues have a new look, yet have maintained their historic charm. The facilities were reopened in September, 2005 to commemorate Alberta’s 100th anniversary, reinforcing the Auditoria’s commitment to providing its patrons with a world-class experience.

Role

Based out of Calgary and reporting to the General Manager (located in Edmonton), the Operations Manager plays a critical role in providing the necessary leadership and direction to ensure the delivery of high quality services at both the Northern and Southern Jubilee Auditoria (NAJA and SAJA).

The successful candidate will be required to work with a high level of independence, and will be involved in all aspects of venue management for both facilities, and will be accountable for the delivery of a safe environment for staff, patrons, clients, and contractors. This multi- faceted role will include responsibility for establishing and implementing a consistent operational approach, overseeing operational finances (development of capital, operations, and maintenance budgets,



as well as tracking and monitoring of all expenditures), human resources, and occupational health and safety, and the Facility Emergency Response Plan (FERP). You will be required to understand and oversee the technical aspects of theatre, and will also work closely alongside Alberta Infrastructure to oversee building management and infrastructure issues and projects.

To excel in this role, you require exceptional communication skills (both written and verbal) and relationship management skills to take a collaborative approach to resolving client and patron concerns, and to working with contracted staff, internal, and external stakeholders. The successful candidate will be a strategic systems thinker with solid organizational skills and the ability to manage and prioritize several complex tasks or issues concurrently. You must thrive in a dynamic and fast-paced environment, working independently, as well as part of a team, to produce deliverables within time sensitive deadlines.
As the ideal candidate, in addition to your education and experience, you will illustrate well developed competencies in the following areas:

SYSTEMS THINKING: You will demonstrate your ability to see the big picture and understand how your work relates to the others within the division. When faced with a decision, you will illustrate thorough consideration of the implications for both the Northern and Southern Jubilee Auditoria, clients and patrons, and other stakeholders, to determine the best possible approach.

AGILITY: You must be able to effectively navigate an environment where priorities and direction are constantly changing. When faced with a change, the ab
