Yukon University is growing, innovating, and strengthening the digital services that support students, staff, researchers, and communities across the North. We are seeking a highly organized and proactive IT Office Coordinator to support the effective operation of the IT Services division.

This role plays a key administrative and coordination function within IT Services, ensuring smooth day-to-day operations, clear communication, and continuity between technical teams, vendors, and the broader University community. If you are detail-oriented, enjoy managing multiple priorities, and thrive in a collaborative environment, we encourage you to apply.

As the IT Office Coordinator, you will oversee divisional administrative operations including procurement, travel and expense processing, inventory tracking, and office logistics. You will support IT project coordination by tracking timelines, deliverables, and action items; maintain documentation, software licensing, and contract records; and act as a central liaison between IT staff, University departments, and external vendors. The role also supports onboarding and hiring activities, meetings and events, and provides backup administrative or HelpDesk support as needed.

Qualifications
• A diploma or degree in business administration, computing sciences, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• 2–4 years of relevant experience in office administration, project coordination, or operational support roles.
• Strong organizational, time-management, and multitasking skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Teams, SharePoint, and other enterprise productivity tools.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to handle confidential information professionally.

Assets:
• Experience in an IT or higher-education environment
• ITIL 4 Foundations certification
• Familiarity with tools such as Jira or Confluence.

This position is primarily office-based at the Ayamdigut campus, with extended computer use and frequent coordination activities. Occasional lifting of IT equipment (10–30 lbs), shifting priorities, and critical deadlines are part of the role. Limited travel may be required (approximately one trip annually).

Yukon University is committed to the values of equity, diversity, and inclusion. All qualified persons are encouraged to apply; however qualified candidates who self-identify as Yukon first Nations, as well as Metis, Inuit or other Indigenous ancestry will be given priority.
