The position will involve but not be limited to relationship building, grant writing, community engagement, planning, program development, project management, and report preparation. Agriculture and food system knowledge is a plus.

**Position Overview**

Key tasks include:

- Outreach to and within Indigenous communities
- Relationship building
- Partnership development
- Grant and report writing
- Project development and matching of ISFS staff expertise as fit.
- Facilitate Nation to Nation discussion and project collaborations.
- Project management

**EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS**

The successful applicant for this position should:

- Have knowledge of Indigenous, First Nations, Metis or Inuit communities and cultural protocols from lived experience or significant experience collaborating with First Nation communities. Have the ability to prepare grants and reports
- Have the ability to (co-) develop and manage projects
- Have the ability to work as a team member and independently

- Knowledge of Indigenous Nations and communities whose traditional territories are located in what is colonially known as BC and culturally appropriate protocols
- Group facilitation experience is a plus
- Food systems and organic/regenerative agriculture knowledge

We at Kwantlen Polytechnic University respectfully acknowledge that we live, work and study in a region that overlaps with the unceded traditional and ancestral First Nations territories of the Musqueam, Katzie, Semiahmoo, Tsawwassen, Qayqayt, and Kwikwetlem, and with the lands of the Kwantlen First Nation, which gifted its name to this university.

Proudly sharing the name of the Kwantlen First Nation, the word 'Kwantlen' means Tireless Runner, and is reflected in the university's motto: "through tireless effort, knowledge, and understanding." The representation of a wolf and salmon in KPU's Coat of Arms, was created by former KPU Fine Arts student, Brandon Gabriel, nephew of the hereditary Chief of the Kwantlen People, Chief Marilyn Gabriel.

**Does this role sound like it was made for you, yet you don’t check every box?**

We at KPU understand that experiences and qualifications may look differently for everyone and, if this job description is of interest to you, we encourage you to apply.

**Note to Applicants**:
We thank all applicants for their interest in emp
