About the Role

The Company is seeking a President to serve as its Chief Executive Officer and public representative. The successful candidate will be accountable for the overall leadership, strategic direction, and performance of the institution, with a focus on sustainable growth, enrollment stability, institutional transformation, and sector-wide change. This role requires an accomplished executive leader with experience in a post-secondary environment of comparable complexity and scope, who is strategic, data-informed, and capable of managing change thoughtfully. The President will work closely with the Board of Governors, Senate, and government, and must demonstrate strong governance acumen, political insight,



and the ability to build productive relationships. The ideal candidate will be an effective influencer, consensus builder, and will balance consultation with decisiveness, holding leaders accountable while fostering trust and transparency.

The President of the company will be a resilient, values-driven, and grounded individual, whose integrity, emotional intelligence, presence, and business acumen inspire confidence across the campus and within the broader community. This is a pivotal moment for the institution, and the role offers the opportunity to lead a university that is both ambitious and authentically connected to its place. The candidate should be prepared to lead the company through a critical phase and be committed to the stewardship of a mission-driven institution. The position is based in one of British Columbia's most livable and temperate coastal communities, with a robust emphasis on community engagement and a vital role in regional prosperity and productivity.
