About NNPBC

Nurses and Nurse Practitioners of British Columbia (NNPBC) is the professional association representing all four nursing designations in BC - Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), Registered Psychiatric Nurses (RPNs), and Nurse Practitioners (NPs).

NNPBC is home for nurses in BC, transforming health and health systems through the breadth of nursing expertise. NNPBC supports and promotes excellence in all domains of nursing practice and enables nurses to lead, influence, and transform health, the health care system, health and social policy, and the nursing profession itself.

NNPBC is committed to truth and reconciliation, guided by the Indigenous Cultural Safety, Cultural Humility, and Anti-Racism practice standards for nurses in BC. We actively advance the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, the recommendations from In Plain Sight, and the Calls to Action and Calls to Justice from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and MMIWG report. Our work is multigenerational, and we are dedicated to meaningful, ongoing reconciliation efforts. A personal and professional commitment to culturally safer practices, cultural humility, anti-racism, justice and equity is core to this role.

Role Summary

Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are playing an increasingly significant role in the delivery and transformation of health care across British Columbia. In April 2026, NNPBC was honoured to receive a strong member mandate to advance the work of theNP Main Agreement. As this work continues to evolve, NNPBC is expanding its organizational capacity to support provincial NP engagement, advocacy, strategic partnerships, and negotiations-related work connected to this important mandate.

NNPBC is seeking a bold, politically astute, and highly relational leader to serve as the inaugural Director, NP Negotiations & Engagement. This is a rare opportunity to lead a transformational body of work at a pivotal moment for Nurse Practitioners and the health system in British Columbia.

The Director will be responsible for building and leading a new provincial function focused on NP negotiations, advocacy, government relations, and member engagement. This role requires a leader who can move seamlessly between strategy and execution: someone capable of establishing operational infrastructure from the ground up while simultaneously building trust with NPs, influencing government relationships, and leading organizational readiness and strategic coordination for complex negotiations.

Reporting directly to the CEO, the Director will serve as the operational and strategic lead for the organization's NP Main Agreement work and broader NP engagement strategy. The successful candidate will bring deep expertise in negotiations, labour relations, health policy, government relations, interest holder engagement, and organizational leadership, alongside exceptional political judgment and relationship management skills.

This role is ideal for a leader who thrives in ambiguity, can navigate high-stakes environments with credibility and calm, and is energized by building something foundational that has the potential to shape the future of health care in British Columbia. The work of this role will help shape the future structure of NP engagement, advocacy, and compensation discussions within British Columbia's evolving health system.
