Stewardship & Sustainability Co-op

Destination Greater Victoria is a dynamic destination marketing organization looking to add to our talented team. With a membership of over 950 businesses, we offer a fast-paced, positive and results-oriented culture.  We offer a unique opportunity to contribute to the tourism industry and work collaboratively with a variety of local businesses to drive year-round sustainable growth for Greater Victoria.

Want to see what sustainability looks like in a real tourism destination? Over a four-month, full-time term at DGV, you’ll work alongside our Destination Stewardship & Sustainability Specialist on programs that support DGV’s members. Much of your time will go to the Biosphere Certification Accelerator Program, where you’ll give members one-on-one support as they work toward certification. You’ll also gather evidence for the annual Global Destination Sustainability Index Assessment. The work goes well beyond research. Each week, you’ll write Destination Stewardship content for the Member Minutes newsletter, highlighting sustainability initiatives and resources for members. Data matters here too. Tracking DGV’s sustainability impact and pulling together findings that inform strategic decisions will be part of your role. Some days will take you out of the office to regional stewardship workshops and First Nation relations events. Others might end at an industry mixer, where you’ll meet people working in tourism and sustainability and start building your professional network. Bring a genuine passion for sustainability and a curious, analytical mind, and you’ll leave with hands-on experience in how a destination puts sustainability into practice.

This is an in-person role, requiring the successful candidate to be located in the Greater Victoria region. It is a full-time 4-month co-op position, 35 hours per week. The hourly wage is $25.00.

If you think you will make a great addition to Destination Greater Victoria’s dynamic and energetic team, please apply with your cover letter and resume that highlights how you meet the qualifications outlined in the job description. For a full outline of the role, please see the complete job description. Applications will be accepted for this opportunity until noon PCT Friday, November 20.
