A rare opportunity to significantly impact STEM literacy across BC
The Opportunity:
Well known for fun and flair, Science World makes science learning approachable and captivating through interactive exhibits and hands-on programming. As Vancouver’s science museum and a vital community resource for all British Columbians, we have earned a solid reputation as an experiential learning leader. Over the past year, Science World went through an extensive consultation process and emerged with a bold new strategy aimed at catalyzing a thriving future through deep collaboration and significant scaling of STEAM (the “A” added for Art & Design) learning across the province.
Reporting to the President & CEO, the Vice President of Community Engagement will play a pivotal role in ensuring the success of these collaboration and scaling efforts. The role will provide overall leadership and direction in content development and community partnerships both at our TELUS World of Science building in Vancouver and through outreach programs across the province.
This is a rare and an exciting opportunity for a deeply collaborative leader who will work to support teams, processes and initiatives in service to building community and moving towards our bold new mission and vision. The Vice President will be a member of the Senior Leadership Team and will play a critical leadership role in one of the organization’s key strategic pillar initiatives - Symbiosis: A STEAM Learning Ecosystem for British Columbia. Symbiosis is an emerging learning ecosystem, the first of its kind in Canada, dedicated to connecting classrooms with communities through a robust provincial network of partners and learning opportunities.
Externally, the Vice President of Community Engagement will represent Science World as an engaged leader in the areas of education, science communication and community engagement, including liaising with a broad range of partners, collaborators, donors and community leaders.
With deep knowledge and extensive experience in the field, our ideal candidate has an infectious passion for community collaboration and STEAM education, as well as an accomplished ability to inspire others. This individual brings a track record of success in community-organization applied to connecting and scaling efforts across communications, programs and organizations. Additionally, this Vice President will be someone with a strong competency in building teams, coaching senior staff and supporting creative teams.
We offer a competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package, a fun, vibrant team environment and, an opportunity to make a significant impact.
