Is this role right for you?

This role may be a strong fit if you are a detail-oriented financial operations leader who enjoys bringing structure, accuracy and consistency to complex accounting, procurement and reporting processes.

You will supervise a small team, review and approve financial and purchasing transactions, support year-end activities, and help ensure that established policies, controls and procedures are followed. You will be most successful in this role if you can balance hands-on oversight with a broader process mindset - stepping back to understand what the process is intended to achieve, identifying gaps or inefficiencies, and supporting practical improvements.

Why this role matters

This role plays an important part in supporting the Technology Services Division by ensuring financial, procurement and asset-related activities are accurate, compliant and well controlled. The work supports responsible stewardship of City resources, timely procurement of technology goods and services, reliable financial reporting, and accountability for Information & Technology assets.

Major Responsibilities:

Team Leadership & Operational Oversight
  • You will supervise the day-to-day work of assigned staff, including scheduling, assigning and reviewing work, supporting performance, and ensuring high standards of service delivery.
  • You will motivate, train and support staff while encouraging teamwork, continuous learning, accountability and process improvement.

Financial Reporting, Accounting & Year-End Coordination
  • You will oversee key divisional accounting and financial reporting activities, ensuring payroll, purchasing, expenditure, revenue, accrual and reconciliation transactions are processed accurately and on time.
  • This includes reviewing financial system reports, coordinating year-end closing procedures, preparing journal entries, and supporting year-end financial statements for liabilities, expenditures and reconciliations.

Budget Monitoring, Financial Analysis & Management Reporting
  • You will support financial planning and decision-making by administering assigned budgets, monitoring expenditures, developing key performance indicators, and preparing management reports.
  • You will also prepare multi-year financial comparisons, cost-benefit analyses, and buy/build evaluations for IT projects, providing recommendations to support senior management decision-making.

Purchasing & Vendor Administration
  • You will oversee divisional purchasing activities, including IT hardware and software acquisitions, purchasing transactions, vendor invoices, blanket contracts, purchasing documents, sole sourcing requests, contract amendments and P-card administration.
  • You will ensure activities comply with City policies, procedures, signing authorities and Municipal Code requirements while continuously identifying opportunities to improve efficiency.

Financial Controls, Compliance & Audit Support
  • You will help ensure that administrative, accounting and financial policies are applied consistently across the division.
  • This includes developing and supporting financial control systems, maintaining internal controls in accordance with City by-laws and policies, safeguarding City assets, responding to audit queries, and ensuring corrective follow-up action is taken where required.

IT Asset Management & PSAB Reporting
  • You will support accountability for the City's Information & Technology assets by preparing usage analysis reports, monitoring non-compliance, and ensuring I&T assets are accounted for in accordance with Public Sector Accounting Board requirements.
  • You will also support procedures to track and update the City's Asset Register for I&T capital assets throughout their lifecycle.

Divisional Advice, Stakeholder Liaison & Process Improvement
  • You will act as a financial and policy resource to divisional management, providing advice on payroll, accounting policies, financial procedures and reporting requirements.
  • You will liaise with corporate and cluster financial units, City divisions, senior management and other stakeholders to support consistent reporting, effective service delivery and continuous improvement.

Key Qualifications:
