Vancouver Tech Journal sits at the centre of one of Canada’s fastest-growing industries — technology.
From AI and climate tech to fintech and frontier innovation, we cover the founders, investors, and operators building the future of BC’s economy. But we don’t just report on the ecosystem — we convene it.
We’re hiring a Partnerships & Event Coordinator to help fuel that growth. This is a high-energy, outward-facing role where you’ll build relationships with innovative companies, secure brand partnerships, and help bring together some of the most ambitious leaders in Vancouver’s tech community through dynamic, in-person events.
You’ll gain hands-on experience across partnerships, sponsorship sales, and event execution — with direct coaching and mentorship from experienced leaders who have built media brands, communities, and revenue programs from the ground up. If you’re eager to learn, grow quickly, and build real career momentum in a fast-moving sector, this role offers meaningful exposure and opportunity.
If you’re excited by startups, growth, and being in rooms where big ideas are taking shape — this is an opportunity to build real relationships, drive revenue, and grow your career at the intersection of media, business, and community.
