Job Summary

At UBC, we believe that attracting and sustaining a diverse workforce is key to the successful pursuit of excellence in research, innovation, and learning for all faculty, staff and students. Our commitment to employment equity helps achieve inclusion and fairness, brings rich diversity to UBC as a workplace, and creates the necessary conditions for a rewarding career.

The UBC Sustainability Hub builds on UBC's position as a leader in campus sustainability, and works to reinforce the University's goal of providing an exceptional learning and research-rich environment that advances global citizenship and a civil and sustainable society.

In response to UBC’s Climate Emergency Declaration, the Climate Emergency Task Force (CETF) produced a report with 9 strategic priorities and 28 associated recommendations that span the community, academic (teaching, learning, and research) and operational dimensions of the university. Climate justice is a core theme woven throughout the Report.

The CETF Report has connections to many UBC plans and strategies including UBC’s Strategic Plan, 20-Year Sustainability Strategy, Indigenous Strategic Plan, Global Engagement Strategy, Wellbeing Strategic Framework, Inclusion Action Plan, emerging Student Strategic Plan, Employment Equity Plan, and divestment commitments, among others.

The UBC Sustainability Hub, in partnership with the UBCO Provost Office, has the role of convening, coordinating and tracking implementation of the CETF strategic priorities and recommendations. The Sustainability Hub has commenced work with respective leads to understand where the recommendations of the CETF are synergistic with work already underway, where opportunities for quick advancement exist, what further assessment is needed to enable implementation, and where gaps remain. The team is developing and implementing a monitoring, evaluation and learning framework to track progress on CETF report implementation.

This is a cross-functional one-year term position that will support CETF Report implementation and evaluation to ensure coordinated, coherent, measured change in priority areas in a manner that engages members of the community and key leaders across institutional units on both campuses.

Organizational Status

Reports to the Senior Project Manager, Climate Emergency at the Sustainability Hub. Works in close collaboration with the Sustainability Hub team and the Senior Director of the Sustainability Hub, as well as with faculties and units across campus.
