Technical conservation knowledge, experience in program management and a passion for historic places and conservation will be essential.

The management of a significant recently launched grant program to support heritage conservation of a wide range of buildings and sites in Vancouver is core to the Grant Programs Manager’s responsibilities. The Grant Programs Manager will also manage other grant programs and provide support to home and building owners about heritage conservation including maintaining information resources for the public.

  • Technical knowledge of historic buildings and places, their construction and conservation.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and ability to build relationships with stakeholders, the public, and partners.
  • Project leadership experience including strong organizational skills, developing and managing multiple project timelines, and effective record keeping.
  • Initiative and ability to generate new ideas and put them into action.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with others including colleagues, volunteers, board members and partner organizations.
  • Strong content writing skills for the purpose of conveying information to the general public.
  • Computer fluency with at a minimum Microsoft Office suite.

Valuable qualifications, skills and experience:

  • Formal training and professional accreditation in heritage conservation.
  • Familiarity with Vancouver’s history and development.
  • Knowledge of environmental sustainability and building retrofits.

The full-time position is 37.5 hours per week, currently for a term of up to three years (based on program funding). Some flexibility in work hours may be available.
