The  Alberta  Urban  Municipalities  Association  (AUMA)  represents  nearly  300  urban municipalities  including  cities,  towns,  villages,  summer  villages  and  specialized  municipalities and  more  than  85%  of  Albertans.  It  is  a  dynamic  and  evolving  association,  advocating  the interests  of  members  to  the  provincial  and  federal  orders  of  government  and  other stakeholders.

AUMA works to engage our members and develop strategic partnerships between all orders of government  to  meet  municipal  needs.  Although  many  urban  municipalities  share  common challenges  such  as  the  need  to  fund  core  services  and  maintain  infrastructure,  we  also understand the diverse and complex nature of our membership. That’s why we’re committed to developing solutions that respect differences.

Reporting directly to the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer plays a key leadership role in ensuring the AUMA achieves its mandate and goals. The CEO will be responsible for the overall  advocacy  and  management  of  the  AUMA,  AMSC,  AMSCIS,  MUNIX  and  APEX Corporations in accordance with the objectives, policies and practices as approved by the Board of Directors, of each Corporation.

The ideal candidate will possess the following qualifications and experience:

Progressive senior management experience with agencies, boards or government.
Strong  knowledge  of  governance  principles  and  experience  working  with  a  Board  of Directors.
Understanding  of  the  political  process  and  the  political  environment  in  Alberta  together with an ability to demonstrate strong political instincts, finesse and acumen.
Skills  and  abilities  to  respond  efficiently  and  professionally  to  contentious,  controversial issues within highly political environments.
Proven  ability  to  foster  strong  collaborative  working  relationships  and  build  effective partnerships.
