About the Role

The Company is seeking an Executive Director to provide strategic, operational, financial, and community leadership, reporting to its Board of Directors. The role includes guiding strategic planning, supporting effective board governance, overseeing budgets, financial reporting, audits, risk management, and funder contracts, and sustaining relationships with funders, families, staff, and community partners. The Executive Director will safeguard and evolve person-centred services, support leadership development and succession planning, and help shape the organization's operating structure through a significant leadership transition.



The role also involves representing the organization externally and ensuring the people it supports and their families are heard in organizational decisions.

Candidates must have at least 10 years of senior leadership experience in a comparable, multi-site, publicly funded nonprofit or human-services organization. Solid financial leadership is required, including managing and reporting on a multi-million-dollar budget, interpreting financial statements and audits, and working with funders and contracts. The ideal candidate brings sound judgment, integrity, a collaborative and humble leadership style, and the ability to build trust with a volunteer board, staff, families, and community stakeholders. A commitment to equity, inclusion, and person-centred, self-directed support is important, along with the ability to understand complex financial and contractual information and communicate it clearly.
