EntrepreNorth is seeking a thoughtful, community-centred Program Manager to help drive our mission of empowering Indigenous entrepreneurs to build sustainable businesses and meaningful livelihoods across the North. This role sits at the heart of our programming work. You’ll help bring our business education offerings to life—both in person and online—while fostering a culturally grounded, inspiring, and high-quality learning experience for participants at all stages of their entrepreneurship journey.
As a relationship builder and people leader, you’ll work closely with facilitators, contractors, and community partners across the region. You’ll collaborate deeply with our internal team and ecosystem partners to ensure our programming remains cohesive, culturally informed, innovative, and rooted in Northern values and Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing.
In this role, you will guide programs from concept to completion. You’ll develop, plan, and implement educational offerings that feel relevant, accessible, and transformative for Northern entrepreneurs. You’ll help shape strategic directions for Indigenous-centred entrepreneurship education, while also supporting the teams responsible for bringing each project to life. A big part of your work will involve creating clarity, ensuring timelines, budgets, and logistics are on track, and supporting collaborative teams to stay focused on shared goals.
You’ll coordinate workshops, training sessions, and support initiatives across communities and online platforms, while managing relationships with delivery contractors and ensuring program quality. You’ll lead the delivery of eLearning programs and Indigenous Facilitator Training workshops, making sure they remain accessible and impactful for communities across the North. You’ll also bring a curious and improvement-oriented mindset—identifying opportunities to strengthen programs and integrate Indigenous knowledge wherever possible.
This role involves nurturing community partnerships, supporting marketing and recruitment efforts, and ensuring reporting requirements for funders are met with accuracy and care. In addition, you’ll support the maintenance and management of EntrepreNorth’s office space in Yellowknife.
We’re looking for someone who sees the big picture and can connect day-to-day programming decisions with long-term organizational goals. You’re someone who communicates with ease, builds strong relationships, and leads collaboratively with empathy and integrity. You manage multiple priorities with intention, stay one step ahead of emerging needs, and are deeply committed to Indigenous self-determination and community-led systems change.
To thrive in this role, you may bring a degree or diploma in education, business administration, marketing/communications, project management, or another relevant field—or significant experience managing programs and projects in a Northern context. You have meaningful experience working alongside Indigenous communities and in culturally sensitive environments. You’re an authentic leader, a strong communicator, and someone who can guide teams across distances, both virtually and in person. Organization, adaptability, and the ability to manage competing deadlines will be key. An openness to Northern travel is important, as is a genuine desire to build lasting relationships with participants, partners, and communities.
We offer a competitive salary, a comprehensive employer-paid benefits package starting on day one, annual RRSP contributions, and a $1500 professional development budget. You’ll enjoy a flexible work environment, temporary remote work options, opportunities for Northern travel, 10 sick and personal days, three weeks of paid vacation, and a winter holiday office closure. Most importantly, you’ll join a dynamic, supportive team that values creativity, innovation, and cultural connection.
