The current job opening comes one month after the failed transit plebiscite, which saw over 60% of respondents across metro Vancouver voting NO to the new tax dedicated to helping fund new major Translink infrastructures.
According to the job listing, the successful candidate will:
- Hold a bachelor’s degree in Business or Engineering
- Hold excellent communication and media relations skills
- Hold 5 – 10 years of experience in a related role
- Earn an annual salary of $319,244 plus a yearly bonus of up to 30 per cent of base salary. This could bump up the overall salary by another $95,773.
- Offered six weeks of vacation
- Receive a full benefits package including a $14,400 annual transportation allowance, a $1,200 parking allowance, and a $2,500 annual wellness allowance
- Receive pension
- Receive health benefits
- Money to relocate (if moving from out of town)
Translink has notoriously been criticized for generous executive packages, and although the new CEO may earn north of $410,000, the salary is still ironically less than the previous CEO.
