The Town of Antigonish is facing unprecedented change over the next several years. In order that we may prepare for and embrace this change, the Town has undergone a restructuring with the Department of Finance becoming the Department of Corporate Services. The Town is seeking a customer-oriented, motivated individual with strong creative problem solving abilities to assume the role of Director of Corporate Services.
Antigonish is home to St. Francis Xavier University and St. Martha’s Regional Hospital. These, along with a vibrant business community, pedestrian oriented built-form, burgeoning local art, theatre and music community, award winning dining and the Coady International Institute all combine to make Antigonish an outstanding regional centre in the Atlantic provinces. Complementing the Town, and only minutes away, the warmest ocean waters north of Virginia beckon with leisure and sport opportunities. Nearby, the Keppoch Mountain features world-class Downhill Mountain biking, hiking and cross- country skiing.
Candidates must exhibit excellent and broad-ranging communication skills, organizational abilities and thoroughness. They must be capable of working cooperatively and as well, independently. The candidate must be able to deal effectively and professionally with stakeholders, the Town team, advisory boards and Council.
The successful applicant will have an accounting designation, and preference will be given to those with municipal or Not For Profit Experience, knowledge of Diamond Financial Software and experience in Human Resource Management.
This is a permanent position; the wage package to be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Interested individuals may obtain a copy of the detailed job description from the Town of Antigonish Website. www.townofantigonish.ca Closing date is Nov. 20 at 4:00 pm.
