The Position:

Join the Innovation and Emerging Technology Team in the District Office of Institutional Innovation and Effectiveness (II&E) as an Administrative Technician. This is a unique opportunity for a talented, organized, and dedicated individual to help bring new ideas and technologies to life across a four-college district.

In this role, you will report to the Innovation Systems Analyst and collaborate with the Vice Chancellor, managers, faculty specialists, and student interns. The Administrative Technician plays a key part in bringing districtwide initiatives in artificial intelligence and emerging technology to life, which means coordinating the details behind events, keeping communications current, and helping projects stay on track.

Our team values diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds, and is committed to fostering an inclusive, supportive, and innovative workplace where everyone's contributions matter. Applicants from a variety of professional settings, including education, business, and nonprofit organizations, are encouraged to apply. You do not need to be an AI expert to contribute to this team. What matters most is strong organizational skills, initiative, a collaborative mindset, and a willingness to learn.

Key responsibilities include:

Project management support: Plan, organize, and monitor timelines, deliverables, and action items for emerging technology initiatives using project management tools. Prepare agendas, meeting notes, correspondence, and reports, and follow up on assigned tasks.
Event and professional development coordination: Coordinate logistics for districtwide professional development events, workshops, panels, and speaker series. Serve as liaison with colleges, District departments, presenters, and outside organizations.
Outreach and communications: Develop and maintain web content and communication channels (e.g., website, Microsoft SharePoint) and event calendars, consistent with District branding and accessibility standards. HTML skills are preferred.
Emerging technology research support: Assist the Innovation Systems Analyst with research and analysis of new AI and emerging technology tools. Coordinate pilot planning and logistics, schedule demos and vendor meetings, compile participant feedback, and maintain documentation.
Administrative and fiscal support: Ability to maintain complex records and files, and order supplies as needed.
Student intern coordination: Assist to provide work direction and training to student interns supporting team projects, including onboarding and scheduling.
Data and reporting: Compile, organize, and analyze participation and program data using spreadsheets and databases. Prepare summaries, reports, and presentations for leadership and districtwide committees.
Policies and procedures: Interpret and apply District policies and procedures related to department operations. Assist in developing operational procedures and handling confidential information with discretion.

The ideal candidate enjoys managing multiple priorities, communicates effectively with people at all levels of an organization, pays attention to details, and is curious about how innovation and emerging technologies can support teaching, learning, and student success.

Hours are Monday--Friday, 8am--5pm. Selected candidates must be willing to adjust workdays/hours based on the department's needs, including occasional evening or weekend events.

Please note that an employee may be transferred to any site at the option of the Chancellor.
