Description
We are excited to share that we have a new opportunity to join our growing Election's team!
The Edmonton Election is a large-scale, complex, highly legislated civic project that is held every four years, featuring tight timelines and a broad range of stakeholders. It is a project that requires agility, precision, and dedication, offering a unique opportunity to contribute to a process that enables Edmontonians to vote for Mayor, Council, and Edmonton Public or Edmonton Catholic school board trustees.
Reporting to the Project Lead of Third Party Advertisers (TPAs), Political Parties, Slates & Ballot Account, you will be responsible for preparing for and implementing Returning Officer and/or judicial recount procedures to ensure a thorough recount process that upholds the credibility of the electoral process and election results. You will train recount staff, secure all necessary resources for effective operations, and oversee the conduct of recounts. You will also directly supervise a team of approximately 40 staff and ensure all recounts are completed within allotted timeframes, provide guidance on complex issues, and escalate matters to the Project Lead as required.
What will you do?
- Draft comprehensive project documents, including procedures, checklists, and tracking tools, for both Returning Officer and judicial recounts
- Conduct and assist with stress-testing, simulations, and feedback gathering to identify and implement improvements to recount procedures, tools, and systems
