About ISCBC

The Invasive Species Council of BC (ISCBC) is a charitable, provincial nonprofit that works with Indigenous communities and organizations, governments, Regional Invasive Species Organizations (RISOs), industry and communities to reduce the spread and impacts of invasive species.

Why Work with ISCBC?

Make a Difference: You can make a real difference, from the policy level to on-the-ground action in rural and urban communities, by protecting nature, communities and traditional cultural practices, and reducing significant economic losses. Whether it is preventing new introductions, such as invasive mussels or Northern snakehead fish, or reducing spread from roads, fires or land development, you will work with a wide range of perspectives.

Work with Amazing Partners: Everyone has a role to prevent the spread of invasives, from gardeners to boaters and from natural resource development to the pet trade. You will build awareness, provide tools and on-the-ground action, and recognize local leaders.

Lead an Incredible Team: The ISCBC team includes leaders in western science, Indigenous knowledge, communication and partner development, working together to reduce the spread and impacts of invasive species. The Council is a leader in Canada and has launched many national campaigns and programs. There is much more to do, and your strengths will shape it.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Board Chair and accountable to the Board of Directors, you will be the chief executive and spokesperson for ISCBC. You will lead an organization of approximately 20+ staff through a management team of direct reports, and work alongside the Board to set our direction and grow the resources that power our work. Your reach will be broad and your purpose rewarding, as you help protect nature from rural areas to city landscapes, within BC and beyond!

You are a strategic, collaborative and action-oriented executive, at ease advising a Board, engaging senior decision-makers and cultivating funders. You bring:

At least 7 years of senior leadership in a nonprofit, public-sector, Indigenous, environmental, natural resource or comparably complex organization, and a relevant degree or equivalent

Experience leading managers and overseeing budgets, audits and risk

A track record of building partnerships with governments, Indigenous communities, industry and funders, and securing grants, sponsorships or other funding
