HOW WILL YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

You will report to the Economic Development Committee, which sets priorities and evaluates performance, while maintaining a functional link with General Management for policies and administrative compliance. You will turn priorities into action: coordinate approved projects, prepare analyses, and ensure follow-up.

You will work closely with the Economic Development Committee and stakeholders to identify local needs, capture opportunities, and propose practical solutions. You will play a key role in major projects, such as housing rehabilitation and development to support population growth.

You also have proven experience in project coordination and monitoring, demonstrating strong organizational and planning skills.

You can prepare solid briefing materials and deliver clear analyses that support effective decision-making. Recognized for your strengths in collaboration and communication, you demonstrate diplomacy and the ability to synthesize information in your interactions with elected officials, committees, and economic partners.

With a strong understanding of local and regional economic realities, you can translate community needs into concrete actions that foster demographic growth, strengthen business vitality, and enhance the attractiveness of the territory. Finally, your bilingualism in French and English is an essential asset that enables you to represent the community effectively with stakeholders and partners.

By joining our team, you will bring commitment, professionalism, and a positive contribution to the economic vision of the Campbellton Regional Community.
