• Demonstrate strong account management skills by ensuring, among other things, regular follow-up according to cycles, sound management of expectations, service excellence and management of difficult situations. Also, be able to effectively use a contact management system (CRM) and demonstrate daily discipline in managing data related to these accounts.
• Participate in outreach activities as part of a faculty-wide approach. Create partnerships with faculties, student associations and the Alumni Relations Office in order to plan, organize and deliver career development services and implement ways to promote the employability of our students and graduates.
• Define communication, marketing and logistical needs related to employment events and work closely with the Event Management Coordinator in the planning, organization and logistics of employment events.
• Lead and supervise the employment team (RTEUO and/or co-op students) in order to execute an outreach strategy to local, national and international employers to encourage them to participate in our various events (career fairs, recruitment reception, etc.), post their job offers on our job board (JobsNow) and consider hiring co-op students (internships).  Measure the impact of the employment team by establishing specific performance measures for desired results.
