Administrative Coordinator, Campus Life & Clubs (Contract)

About NAITSA

The NAIT Students' Association (NAITSA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the student experience through advocacy, services, programs, and events. Our Campus Life and Campus Clubs teams foster student engagement by creating opportunities for students to connect and get involved outside of the classroom.

We are seeking an organized, proactive, and collaborative Administrative Coordinator to support the day-to-day operations of both departments. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys creating efficient systems, keeping projects organized, and providing exceptional administrative and front-line support in a fast-paced, student-focused environment.

Position Details

• Status: Full-Time Temporary (35 hours per week, Monday to Friday)
• Term: 10-month contract (commencing as soon as possible and ending June 3, 2027)
• Location: NAITSA, Room O108, 11762 106 St NW, Edmonton, AB

The Opportunity

The Administrative Coordinator provides administrative and operational support across the Campus Life portfolio, with dedicated responsibilities supporting both the Campus Life and Campus Clubs teams. This position plays an important role in keeping projects, meetings, records, communications, and departmental systems organized while also providing occasional front-line support to students and club members.

No two days are exactly alike. One day you may be coordinating meetings, preparing reports, organizing documentation, and updating project trackers. The next, you could be assisting with student club inquiries, supporting an event, preparing presentations, or improving an internal process that helps the team work more efficiently. We're looking for someone who is naturally organized, enjoys improving systems, and takes pride in helping others succeed behind the scenes.

What You’ll Be Doing…

Administrative Coordination:

• Coordinate calendars, meetings, and schedules for departmental staff.
• Prepare meeting agendas, record minutes, and distribute meeting summaries and action items.
• Monitor and manage shared inboxes, responding to inquiries or directing requests to the appropriate team members.
• Organize departmental records, templates, shared drives, and digital documentation.
• Maintain project trackers, recurring tasks, and administrative workflows.
• Assist with preparing correspondence, reports, presentations, and other departmental materials.
• Coordinate logistics for meetings, training sessions, and/or departmental initiatives.

Student & Club Support:

• Respond to general inquiries regarding student clubs, programs, services, and departmental processes.

• Support special projects and departmental initiatives as assigned.

Who We’re Looking For…

You are someone who enjoys creating order from complexity and helping teams stay organized and productive. You are dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable balancing multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy.

You are equally comfortable working independently and collaborating with others, and you take initiative to identify opportunities for improvement rather than waiting to be asked.
