About United Flower Growers

United Flower Growers Cooperative Association (UFG) is a respected cooperative with over 60 years of history serving British Columbia's floriculture industry. UFG connects growers with the marketplace while maintaining strong relationships with members, customers, suppliers, and industry partners.

With established operations, an experienced management team, and a strong industry presence, UFG is seeking an accomplished Chief Executive Officer to provide steady leadership, strengthen relationships, and build upon the organization's continued success.

Reporting to the Board of Directors, the CEO will work closely with the General Manager to provide strategic leadership, oversee organizational performance, maintain stakeholder relationships, and represent UFG with government officials and industry associations.

The ideal candidate is an established executive who values organizational stability, respects successful existing practices, and recognizes opportunities for thoughtful improvement rather than unnecessary change.

Exceptional customer relations, relationship building, communication, accountability, and sound business judgment are essential.

Strengthen customer satisfaction through responsiveness, effective communication, and relationship management.
Facilitate constructive discussions, resolve concerns, and develop lasting professional relationships built on trust.

Government Relations, Advocacy and Issues Management

Establish and maintain relationships with municipal, provincial, and federal government officials, elected representatives, and regulatory agencies.
Represent UFG and advocate for its members during government consultations, industry meetings, and stakeholder discussions.
Monitor government policies and regulatory developments affecting the floriculture industry.
Develop effective issues management strategies and communication protocols.
Communicate industry challenges and organizational priorities to government representatives and the Board.
Maintain diplomacy and professionalism when managing sensitive matters.
Build relationships with industry associations, media representatives, and relevant organizations.

Operational and Financial Leadership

Provide executive oversight while collaborating with the General Manager, who manages daily operations.
Oversee financial management, budgeting, financial reporting, internal controls, and organizational accountability.
Provide accurate financial and operational information to the Board.
Respond to information requests from the Board, government agencies, and stakeholders.
Support established operational procedures, performance standards, and organizational systems.
Ensure appropriate technology, information systems, reporting tools, and cybersecurity safeguards are maintained.
Oversee the effectiveness of UFG's website, digital communication platforms, and social media presence.
Promote informed decisions through accurate data collection and analysis.
Identify operational risks and practical improvements while preserving successful existing practices.
Ensure responsible management of organizational resources.
Perform additional duties as assigned by the Board.

People Leadership and Organizational Culture

Work closely with the General Manager and management team to maintain a collaborative and accountable workplace.
Provide executive oversight of recruitment, staffing, onboarding, employee performance, and termination processes.
Coach, mentor, and support employee development.
Establish clear expectations and measurable performance objectives.
