Help Us Grow – the Right WaySalish Soils is an Indigenous-owned composting and resource recovery facility based in Sechelt, BC. We take organics—food waste, yard trimmings, biosolids—and transform them into regenerative soil products that feed local gardens, farms, and ecosystems.
We're scaling up. That means more customers, more product lines, more complexity—and a need for someone who can help us move forward thoughtfully, safely, and effectively.
We’re looking for a Program Manager – Innovation & Growth to be the glue across our team. You’ll help plan, coordinate, and deliver key projects—from new product launches to facility redesigns. You’ll work across departments, keep timelines on track, and make sure we do things right: with care for quality, safety, customers, and the land.
The RoleYou’re not just a project manager—you’re a central hub, a builder of momentum, and a quiet driver of accountability.
You’ll help move cross-functional projects from idea to action. That might mean leading the launch of a new soil blend, coordinating signage and traffic redesign, or helping scope out what’s needed for a new product or service. You’ll run stand-ups, chase down blockers, track plans, and bring strategic thinking to daily execution.
You’ll Be Responsible For: ️ Planning & Coordination
- Build clear project plans and keep them moving forward
- Lead cross-functional check-ins, align departments, and chase next steps
- Track deliverables, surface risks early, and support timely execution
Product & Service Development
- Support the creation and rollout of new compost, mulch, or bagged soil products
- Help coordinate testing, usability feedback, and packaging/launch logistics
- Stay close to operations, marketing, and customer experience teams to ensure a smooth go-to-market
Site Improvement & Redesign
- Work with leadership and operations on site flow, signage, drop zones, and infrastructure improvements
- Help map customer journeys and suggest practical upgrades
- Support safe, efficient implementation of new services and site changes
Strategy Support & Business Thinking
- Support cost models, pricing logic, and project ROI thinking
- Maintain a live tracker of active projects and key priorities
- Help the team focus—zooming in where needed and stepping back to keep the big picture in mind
You Might Be a Fit If You…• Have 3–7 years of experience in project coordination, program management, or product development
- Are organized, proactive, and quietly relentless about getting things done
- Love helping teams work together better—across operations, sales, marketing, and leadership
- Are just as comfortable in a team meeting as you are out on site, clipboard in hand
- Have a soft spot for soil, sustainability, and community-led work
- Appreciate Indigenous values, local impact, and regenerative thinking
Bonus if You’ve Worked In: • Landscaping, composting, or soil production
- Construction, facility development, or industrial site work
- Circular economy, community infrastructure, food production or public services
- Indigenous-led organizations or value-driven enterprises
Why Work at Salish Soils?We’re a proudly Indigenous-owned company grounded in Sechelt and committed to environmental stewardship. Our work is practical, hands-on, and rooted in the land—but we’re also growing fast and thinking big.
This role is a chance to shape how we grow. You’ll help ensure we stay safe, smart, and regenerative as we take on new challenges and opportunities. You’ll work with a team that cares deeply—about each other, about our customers, and about what we’re building.
