Job Description

Join Us at Carey A Place of Renewal, Rigor, and Conviction

Situated on the beautiful UBC campus in Vancouver, Carey has served students, churches, and Christian leaders for over six decades. Today, Carey is entering a focused and ambitious season of renewalstrengthening its mission, modernizing its operations, and building a resilient platform for long-term growth across education, hospitality, and community life.

Carey Group operates as an integrated organization across three mission-aligned business units:

Carey Theological College an online-first, biblically faithful, historically Protestant seminary with global reach
Student Residences forming intentional Christian community through hospitality, housing, and shared life
Carey Centre (Hotel) a mission-aligned hospitality operation that supports Carey's sustainability and campus presence

This is not a traditional institutional environment. Carey is rebuilding with the clarity, urgency, and adaptability of a startup, while remaining grounded in theological conviction and institutional integrity. We are restoring trust, strengthening systems, and laying foundations for sustainable growth across all three business units.

We are looking for those who are battle-testedboth professionally and personally. People who do not drift when things are unclear, who can hold conviction under pressure, and who are energized by the hard, often unseen work of rebuilding systems, processes, and culture. This is a place for builders, not maintainers.

Roles at Carey are not static. They are designed for those who can bring order to complexity, steward responsibility faithfully, and help modernize systems in service of mission. If you are energized by meaningful work, operational clarity, and thoughtful transformation, we invite you to consider this opportunity.
