ABOUT US

Making the Province work is no small job. The Department of Public Works (DPW) supports Nova Scotia’s 23,000 kilometers of roads and highways and 4,100 bridges. We are responsible for managing major capital construction projects, snow and ice control services, along with road maintenance and repair services.
We are recruiting for the Manager of Operational and Financial Management Information Systems (OFMIS). Become part of the team that helps to bridge the gap between DPW SAP system end-users and the SAP service provider. SAP is an enterprise resource system which provides enhanced decision making, improved cost control, fosters empowerment of employees, and balances the Government’s need for sound corporate financial management with the operational specific needs of individual lines of business.

PRIMARY ACCOUNTABILITIES

Key responsibilities for the position include:

  • Identifying, designing, and implementing functional enhancements and business processes that utilize SAP efficiently and effectively.
  • Consulting with stakeholder groups and collaborating with the Nova Scotia Service Management Team and the Service Provider (currently IBM) to ensure the effective delivery of recommendations, enhancements and implementations.
  • Managing and leading a team of System Support Specialists, including performance goal setting, coaching and training staff.
  • Overseeing, developing, and maintaining corporate documentation and training materials for SAP modules.
  • Supporting government accounting requirements and year-end financial activities.

QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE

You have a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Business, or another related discipline and several years of relevant progressive experience. SAP certification and/or experience in different modules of SAP (e.g. Plant Maintenance, Financial Accounting, Controlling, Materials Management, Project Systems) would be considered an asset for this position. An equivalent combination of training, education and experience will be considered.
As the successful candidate you will have proven experience in delivering client focused services, planning and managing projects, overseeing a team of professionals, and managing financial resources. You must demonstrate a strong human resource management background including the ability to coach and develop staff; experience in leading change; and an ability to build cohesive, effective partnerships and teams in a fast-paced environment.
You are a critical thinker who provides innovative information technology solutions, quickly adapts to competing priorities, contentious issues, and meets challenging deadlines. This position requires a high degree of problem-solving skills and requires you to deal effectively with problems that are broad in range.
Knowledge of information technology issues and public policies that may affect the industry would be considered an asset.
The Government of Nova Scotia has adopted the LEADS Leadership Framework. During the interview, candidates will be expected to express how they have demonstrated the key behaviours and capabilities required to effectively lead in a caring and inclusive environment. LEADS Domains includes Leads Self, Engage Others, Achieve Results, Develop Coalitions and Systems Transformation.
