We are recruiting an Acceleration Program Manager

The Acceleration Program Manager will act as the point of entry and coordinator for all of ORIC’s business and entrepreneur acceleration programs. The current programs include business incubation, mentorship and entrepreneurial training; and are planned to expand once the planned merger with OSTEC is completed. This position is part of the joint initiative between ORIC and OSTEC.

The Acceleration Program Manager will undertake the initial needs assessment with each company and entrepreneur, matching them with the available resources and acting as their “champion” as they continue their growth and development.

The Acceleration Program Manager will also create and implement process and procedures to manage the program activities and work closely with the marketing team to help design and promote future programs to help grow and develop technology companies in the Okanagan.
