Operations Director

Lillooet Learning Communities Society (Lillooet Learns) is a not-for-profit organization incorporated in 2002 that envisions scúzas es7áma smáwal' lta St'át'imcúlmecwa, a good life for all in St'át'imc territory. LLCS has a mandate of 50% parity on the board of directors and aims to grow this representation in LLCS at all levels of the society's operations.

Lillooet Learns connects people and strengthens community by working as a convener and a backbone organization for Lillooet and the St'át'imc communities. The organization's goals are to connect people to the systems, services and information they need, to bring partners together through collaboration, to support Indigenous-led approaches to justice, healing and systems change, and to build community wealth so that our communities grow and become economically resilient.

Our work focuses on creating changes that help regional communities thrive.

Lillooet Learns is the host organization of the Community Connect Innovation HUB, where community members, partners and organizations come to access resources, share space and work together. Other programming and projects include Elder Connect, Restorative Justice, Mentorship and Training, and Community Conversations. Our team, programs and partnerships have grown to the point where we need a management team, and we are searching for an Operations Director to lead the internal operations of the organization alongside the Executive Director.

The goal of this position is to expand the organization's capacity by building the internal systems, policies, and staff support that allow Lillooet Learns to grow. To date, one Executive Director position has carried executive leadership, finance, operations, and human resources. This new position takes the internal side of that work so that both roles can be done properly.

The Operations Director is the first point of contact for staff and turns our strategy into work plans, procedures and daily practice. You will oversee human resources, supervise staff across all of our program areas, review and improve our operational policies and procedures with an equity lens, strengthen our governance practices, and manage the systems and technology the organization runs on.

This is a leadership position. We are ideally looking for someone with management, project and executive-level experience who is comfortable making decisions, supporting a team, and holding accountability for how the organization operates and presents itself in community. Because we are grounded in relationship building, bridging differences, and taking action on reconciliation, it is important to our board and operations team that decision-making is led by someone from the St'át'imc communities.
