Team environment: The College is a small, collaborative team that primarily works remotely. Everyone has significant ownership over their work; we trust each other to identify priorities and opportunities, solve problems, and follow through to completion. While support is always available, you’ll be most successful if you’re comfortable working in a high-autonomy environment, can operate with minimal direction, confidently manage your area of responsibility, and deliver reliably. We’re a high-trust environment that depends on everyone executing in their role, while helping out the rest of the team when there’s a need.

Working arrangements: The team primarily works remotely in Edmonton. We generally meet once per week in our southside office for a 3-hour team meeting. During the winter months, meetings are more commonly virtual. There’s free on-site parking and convenient access to a bus route. Meeting frequency is reviewed periodically to ensure good support for business operations.
