Accounting and Administration Lead

At Black Bear Ridge our mission is to provide recreation-based experiences that leave you feeling restored and inspired. Featuring four ‘laid back luxury’ accommodations freshly renovated in 2022 and anchored by the Magee 18 Hole Championship Golf Course, one of Canada’s Top 20 Public Golf Courses, we are building a reputation as one of the most exciting stay and play destinations in the country.

Although we are a popular tourism destination, our team is passionate about our hometown and make every effort to cultivate strong community bonds through events, junior camps, leagues, tournaments and strategic business and charitable partnerships. In tandem with the day-to-day operations of the golf course, we are developing our adjacent lands into Black Bear Ridge Village, one of the largest resort and community developments in the country, with expanded hospitality, commercial and residential housing and amenities.

The BBR team is composed of energetic, motivated professionals who are passionate about guest experience and service. We work hard, support each other and have cultivated an exciting and positive work environment.
