and continuous improvement of both surveillance systems.
This includes managing service provider and ICT contracts, coordinating onboarding and reintegration

development and publication of reports and dashboards, and maintaining operational resources and
user access. Collectively, these activities ensure system integrity, stakeholder confidence, and timely
delivery of nationally relevant surveillance outputs.
This role will support the APAS and CARAlert Program Manager across the areas of:
• Project and program management and coordination across AURA programming
• Contract, procurement and funding administration
• Stakeholder engagement and coordination
• Data governance and data request management
• Reporting publications and communications
• Data dashboard and analytics coordination
• Operational and administrative support.
As this role is supporting a highly technical team, recruitment of a person with public health or
microbiological, knowledge or experience is highly desirable to perform the associated functions.
