Help Lead What Comes Next
Some leadership opportunities are about building something new. This one is about taking something deeply rooted in community and helping it continue to grow.
Since 1986, NIEFS has worked alongside people, employers, and partners across Vancouver Island North. Through changing industries, labour markets and community needs, we have continued to evolve while staying grounded in what matters most: people, opportunity, learning and community.
Now, as we celebrate our 40th year, we are looking for our next Executive Director.
The person who steps into this role will inherit something special: an experienced and committed team, trusted relationships across the region, a strong organizational foundation and four decades of lessons to build upon. They will also have the opportunity to ask the exciting question:
What could the next 40 years look like?
If you are a collaborative, people-centred leader who sees possibility in change and believes strong organizations can help build stronger communities, we invite you to explore the opportunity.
