About Us :

Blueberries are more than just a crop in British Columbia; they are an integral part of our culture, economy, and future. The British Columbia Blueberry Council represents growers across the province and works to strengthen the industry through education, advocacy, and innovation. Values of determination, inclusiveness, collaboration, accessibility, and transparency drive us. Every initiative we lead is rooted in fairness, health and safety, and a belief that when growers thrive, our entire community thrives.

Why This Role Matters :

The Grower Relations Manager is not just an administrator. This role is about building trust, shaping relationships, and ensuring growers feel supported at every stage. From walking the fields and listening to grower concerns, to helping design education programs that prepare farms for tomorrow's challenges, your work will directly shape the strength and sustainability of the blueberry industry in British Columbia. This is a staff position created to support the British Columbia Blueberry Council's strategic imperatives under the guidance of the Council's bylaws.

What You Will Do

  • Connect with Growers : Visit farms, listen to growers, assess practices, and bring their voices back to our research and marketing teams.
  • Keep Data Strong : Build and maintain our grower database to ensure accuracy that supports levy compliance, effective communication, and informed decision-making.
  • Manage the Grower Card and Levy : Oversee communications and collections related to the levy, ensuring the Grower Card program operates smoothly.
  • Bring Learning to Life : Help create and deliver (when needed) engaging education experiences through workshops, field days, webinars, and online modules.
  • Create Clarity and Accountability : Develop Standard Operating Procedures and track performance through Key Performance Indicators that keep us aligned and transparent.
  • Collaborate Across the Council : Share grower insights, contribute to campaigns, and help make Council-wide initiatives a success.

What You Bring

  • A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business Management, Agriculture, Agronomy, or Communications. Advanced certifications in agricultural extension, food safety, or database and customer relationship management are an asset.
  • At least five years of experience in people management, customer service, agricultural extension, or stakeholder engagement. Experience in developing Standard Operating Procedures and tracking Key Performance Indicators will set you apart.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build trust, listen actively, and write clearly.
  • Excellent organizational and project management abilities.
  • Confidence with customer relationship management and database tools.
  • A commitment to equity, fairness, and working in a way that is consistent with our Council values.
  • Our Commitment to You

  • Fair Employment : This role fully complies with the British Columbia Employment Standards Act, ensuring fairness in wages, hours, and working conditions.
  • Safe Work : We adhere to WorkSafe British Columbia regulations under the Workers' Compensation Act to ensure your health and safety.
  • Equity and Inclusion : We are committed to promoting equity, diversity, gender equality, accessibility, and transparency in all our activities.
  • Confidentiality and Integrity : Grower data will always be handled with the highest standards of privacy and security.
  • How Success is Measured

  • Growers feel heard and supported after your farm visits.
  • The database is accurate and reliable for decision-making.
  • Grower Cards are issued and renewed on time.
  • Levy compliance is consistent and fair.
  • Education programs are well-attended and highly valued.
  • Reports are delivered on time and tell a story of progress.
  • Apply Today

    If you want to play a vital role in supporting growers and shaping the future of the blueberry industry in British Columbia, we would love to hear from you.
