Chief Executive Officer

In 2013 the Government of BC announced the programs and services of the B.C. Film Commission and B.C. Film + Media would be combined under one agency - Creative BC.  It is an independent society responsible for promoting the development of creative industries in British Columbia and providing a single point of access for industry programming, production support services, tax credit administration, international marketing and policy development.  Creative BC brings professional expertise and business support to strengthen BC's motion picture, interactive digital, music and book and magazine publishing sectors.  Programs, services and investments act as a catalyst to help these sectors realize their economic and creative potential and contribute to the future prosperity of the province.

Creative BC is looking for an outstanding Chief Executive Officer to lead this new Agency. The incumbent will have the chance to work with talented and committed industry partners in the film and television production sectors, while championing and stimulating British Columbia’s broader creative industries including digital media, book and magazine publishing and music production.  Major programs include tax credit administration, film production services, development funding, international marketing and development, industry research, policy and communications.

The CEO will work closely with the Board of Creative BC, the Government of BC and industry sector leaders.  The CEO will be a visionary leader who can take the Agency to the next level and have the personal and professional presence to work collaboratively and collegially with a diverse group of key stakeholders, encouraging higher levels of production activity in BC and investment across all sectors of the province’s creative economy. The merger of the BC Film Commission and BC Film + Media into Creative BC means the incoming CEO will need to ensure team members are engaged, have a common vision to create strategic and operational initiatives allowing the economic potential of this sector to be further realized.

The ideal candidate will be an engaging leader who has proven experience working with a Board, diverse creative sector stakeholders and has a firm understanding of longer term economic strategies that involves full engagement and cooperation of multiple parties.  An inspirational and entrepreneurial-minded leader who also recognizes how the creative sector operates will allow the selected candidate to have the ‘street cred’ to work effectively with industry partners and with government agencies and sector associations. 

This is truly a unique role for the right individual where the CEO, in concert with the Board, will allow the creative industries in BC to continue to compete and succeed in a globally competitive environment.  If you have the proven experience to be successful in this demanding role visit our website and submit your application to George Madden and Jennifer Madden at http://pfmsearch.com/executive-opportunity/creative-bc-ceo/.
