Who We Are

Simon Fraser University is a leading research university, advancing an inclusive and sustainable future. Our purpose - the essence of SFU - is to create and connect knowledge, learning and community for deeper understanding and meaningful impact. We are committed to fostering excellence, innovation, belonging and community in all that we do.


The Beedie Graduate Programs team is a close-knit high-performing team that manages the graduate portfolio for the Beedie School of Business. This includes the recruitment, admissions, program operations, and student services for nine masters, diploma, and certificate programs, encompassing 750+ students. As a collaborative and supportive team, we work hard in an exciting and fast-changing industry, with a common passion for creating the best experience possible to support our students' educational journeys.

About the Role

This position is responsible for planning, developing, and implementing holistic programs and initiatives to engage, develop, recruit, and retain graduate students in the Beedie School of Business. This position leads the Graduate Student Experience Office (SEO), providing co-curricular opportunities that compliment graduate business curriculum and support grad student personal and professional development. What happens outside of the classroom is an integral part of the Beedie experience; students are encouraged to get involved with opportunities that meet their interests and goals, ranging from leadership through clubs and committees, team building through MBA Games and cross-program simulations, consulting practice through case competitions, upskilling through workshops, and networking through events and socials. By creating memorable opportunities that students utilize beyond graduation, the SEO builds connections student-to-student, student-to-school, and student-to-networks, which in turn is reflected in brand loyalty, recruitment efforts, alumni engagement, and giving back to the community.


The ideal candidate will be a hard-working and resourceful team member who can build relationships internally and externally to move the Student Experience Office (SEO) portfolio forward successfully. They will be responsive, organized, and committed to supporting students. They will foster a collaborative environment in order to engage and motivate students, and enhance the student experience across graduate business programs. They will be willing to do a large variety of work and be a positive and supportive member of the Program Delivery team and beyond. They will be an excellent communicator and consistently represent SEO internally and externally.
