  • Coordinate and manage all Board and committee documentation and records, ensuring accuracy, relevance, and proper distribution.
  • Maintain and update committee portals.
  • Provide administrative support to the Board, committees, Trust, and Foundation, including assistance with projects, events, and other assigned responsibilities.
  • Coordinate Board and committee meeting logistics, including scheduling, room bookings, virtual technology, and catering.
  • Prepare and distribute policies, position descriptions, orientation manuals, and other governance materials, per the direction of the CEO.
  • Act as recording secretary and provide staff support to the Board, committees, Trust, and Foundation (e.g., preparing agendas, materials, presentations, speaking notes, and minutes).
  • Ensure compliance with Board policies and administrative procedures, maintaining strict confidentiality at all times.

What You Will Bring

  • Post-secondary education in Business Administration, Office Administration, Governance, Communications, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in a senior administrative role supporting executives and board/governance processes. Experience with non-profit organizations is an asset.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage confidential information with professionalism and sound judgment.
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills, with high attention to detail in document preparation and records management.
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office and virtual meeting platforms (Zoom, Teams).
  • Demonstrated collaborative approach by building strong, respectful relationships with internal and external stakeholders to support effective communication and shared goals.
  • Ability to work independently and adapt to changing priorities.

Working Conditions

  • 37.5 hours per week, with flexibility to accommodate business needs; occasional evenings may be required.
  • Primarily office-based with hybrid eligibility, with onsite attendance aligned to ARTA policies and organizational needs.
  • Occasional offsite work and travel for meetings or events.
