About MRUFounded in 1910 and located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Mount Royal University grew into a vibrant college in the 1930s and became a mid-sized university in 2009. Mount Royal has carved out a distinct niche by offering smaller class sizes, a robust liberal education and unique undergraduate programs. Currently, more than 15,000 credit students choose from 13 bachelor degrees and 36 majors.
Mount Royal University is located in the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of the Treaty 7 region in southern Alberta, which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut'ina and the Iyarhe Nakoda. We are situated on land where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. The traditional Blackfoot name of this place is "Mohkinstsis," which we now call the city of Calgary. The city of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation.
Mount Royal University is committed to removing barriers and fostering the inclusion of voices that have been historically underrepresented or discouraged in our society. In support of our belief that diversity in our faculty and staff enriches the work, learning and research experiences for the entire campus community, we strongly encourage members of the designated groups (women, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities, and diverse sexual orientation and gender identities) to apply and self-identify.
About the Department of Dating, Domestic & Sexualized ViolenceThe department provides specialized support for those who have been impacted by dating, domestic and sexual violence. Support is available to any MRU student or employee regardless of when or where the violence occurred. Services include navigating resources both on and off campus, accessing academic accommodations and understanding reporting options and making reports to MRU. Other services include safety planning, exploring options and coping strategies. Education including workshops, guest lectures and training and awareness initiatives is provided.
About the RoleThe Manager is responsible for overseeing the implementation and administration of the policies, procedures, and programming associated with gender based violence (GBV) and the associated operations of the office of Dating, Domestic, and Sexualized Violence (DDSV). The Manager serves as the subject-matter expert around gender based violence and is central to the institutional work in this area. The position provides support and advocacy to community members who have been impacted by GBV. Reporting directly to the Associate Vice-President Student Experience and Success, the incumbent works collaboratively across the University to foster a safe and respectful University community and learning environment that is free from GBV.
The Manager must make independent operational decisions including strategic planning decisions that align with the goals of the DDSV office and collaborate to ensure alignment of program deliverables with funding requirements and research goals. With a significant degree of latitude to make decisions, the Manager must exercise sound judgment and tact in policy-related matters that impact the entire MRU community, and provide guidance, education, and support to all.
This position will require the ability to work flexible hours including evenings and weekends.
