As a research-intensive university, the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) is committed to fostering a vibrant research culture, advancing youth engagement, and supporting students in their transition to post-secondary education. The Senior Coordinator, Youth and Transition Programs is a senior leadership role responsible for shaping and delivering high-impact, community-responsive programming that aligns with UNBC’s strategic priorities and strengthening the university’s presence across the region.

Reporting to the Manager, Philanthropy and Engagement, the Senior Coordinator provides strategic oversight and operational leadership for all youth and transition initiatives. This includes the planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of comprehensive programs that support youth engagement, postsecondary access, and long-term student success. The role manages a diverse team of three coordinators and over ten program instructors, fostering a culture of excellence and innovation in program delivery.

A critical aspect of this position is the management of strategic relationships with community, industry, educational, and government partners to expand opportunities for youth, build regional capacity, and ensure programs are culturally grounded and responsive to northern and Indigenous contexts. The Senior Coordinator serves as a key ambassador for the university, advancing institutional priorities through collaborative partnerships and ensuring programs contribute directly to UNBC’s recruitment, retention, and community engagement goals.

With growing demand for youth-focused outreach, this role is instrumental in driving institutional impact and supporting the next generation of students across Northern British Columbia. Travel throughout the region will be required to cultivate partnerships and extend UNBC’s reach.
