Term: 16 months
Velocity is a fast-paced, dynamic organization that takes startup founders further, faster. Supported by the University of Waterloo, Velocity works with students, alumni and startup founders, meeting them at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey and helping them to achieve their next important milestone.
The Operations Coordinator is responsible for managing and maintaining operations for Velocity’s campus systems. Over 2000 students engage with Velocity programming each year and currently there are nearly 200 active student teams. The Operations Coordinator will need to organize the intake and the progress of these students through our programming by marshalling our data systems. This must be done in a way that makes information available to Velocity team members in an effective manner. The Operation Coordinator understands Velocity’s campus resources and can match inquiries from students and other University of Waterloo community members with the right supports for them. They will also need to provide administrative support for Velocity’s campus spaces, managing access and booking. To manage their work effectively, the Operations Coordinator will need to work with members of the Velocity team to learn about their responsibilities and the kind of information they track and need to access. The incumbent must have outstanding organizational and collaborative skills to be successful.
