Your Role in Supporting Our Members: 

As the Leadership Forums Specialist, you will play a pivotal role in shaping how Vancity’s leaders come together to align on strategy, culture, and impact. You’ll own the end-to-end planning and delivery of enterprise leadership forums—ensuring each convening is purposeful, designed with intention, and delivered with excellence. Working closely with senior leaders, cross-functional partners, and external vendors, you’ll translate strategy into compelling leadership dialogue that strengthens organizational coherence and leadership effectiveness. 

We’re looking for a highly organized, detail-oriented, strategic, and relationship-driven professional who thrives in complex environments and brings enthusiasm, vision, and purpose to event planning. This is a unique role in that it requires both a tactical event planning skillset—someone who can organize and deliver on complex logistics for large events—as well as a strategic mindset—someone who can translate strategy into thoughtfully designed agendas, presentations, and interactive sessions. 

This is a Full-time, Permanent role based at our Vancity head office and will report directly to the Chief of Staff to the CEO. While this position provides a hybrid work arrangement, you will be expected to be on-site regularly, including for events and business demands.
