Reporting directly to the volunteer Board of Directors, you will serve as the primary spokesperson and champion for the Annapolis Valley business community, driving regional prosperity across the Annapolis Valley.

If you:

Love the Annapolis Valley and want to be a relentless advocate for its growth and success.
Thrive on building meaningful relationships with local business owners, community partners, and government stakeholders.
Possess strong financial acumen and enjoy managing both big-picture strategy and day-to-day operations.
Are an empowering leader who enjoys fostering a collaborative, positive team culture.
Want a visible, impactful career where your leadership directly shapes the local private sector...

...we want to meet you!

What You'll Be Doing:

Strategic Leadership & Governance: Collaborating closely with the Board of Directors to execute the Chamber's annual programs and Strategic Plan.
Community Relations & Advocacy: Serving as the lead spokesperson for the AVCC and building strong partnerships with local, regional, and provincial organizations.
Financial & Operational Stewardship: Developing and managing the annual budget and business plan alongside the Board Treasurer and bookkeeper to ensure strict financial accuracy.
Team Leadership: Recruiting, mentoring, and evaluating Chamber staff to foster a high-performing work culture.
Program & Event Oversight: Guiding the development of high-impact events and membership value programs that support our 400+ member businesses.
Communications & Reporting: Leading the Chamber's communication strategies, external messaging, and producing quarterly and annual reports.

Experience & Requirements:

Proven Leadership: Experience leading a membership-based organization, non-profit, association, or equivalent business environment.
Board Experience: Demonstrated experience working closely with, or reporting to, a volunteer Board of Directors.
Education & Experience: Post-secondary education in business, community development, or a related field—though we value results and consider an equivalent mix of professional experience.
Core Competencies: Exceptional communication and public speaking skills, strong financial/budgeting literacy, and solid project management capabilities.
Technical & Tools Acuity: Proficiency in the Microsoft Office suite. Familiarity with QuickBooks or membership management systems is an asset.
Travel Assets: Must possess a valid driver’s license and access to a reliable vehicle for regional travel.

Why You'll Love Working With Us:

True Impact: Lead a highly respected, 130+ year-old voice for nearly 400 member businesses where your work directly drives regional prosperity.
Work-Life Balance: Enjoy true autonomy to set your own schedule around deliverables, alongside fantastic summer perks like paid Fridays off in July and August.
Collaborative Environment: Work alongside a passionate, supportive network of board members, volunteers, and regional business leaders.
The Hub Life: Based out of the Valley Business Hub in Kentville, you will enjoy a professional yet relaxed culture shared with dedicated colleagues from other top business support organizations.
The Full Package: $65,000 - $70,000 salary, comprehensive Health & Dental benefits, three weeks of paid vacation, and paid time off between Christmas and New Year’s.
