About the Role

The Company is seeking a Chief Executive Officer to lead its nonprofit organization and advance its mission and long-term sustainability. The CEO will guide strategic development and execution, lead organizational change, and use key performance indicators to assess results. Responsibilities include overseeing operations, staff and volunteers, budgets, risk management, and organizational performance, while working closely with a volunteer board. The CEO will also serve as an external ambassador, building relationships with donors, stakeholders, municipal leaders, and media, and supporting philanthropy and fundraising efforts.





Candidates should have at least five years of CEO-level leadership experience in a similarly sized nonprofit, along with a record of leading change and managing organizational operations. Robust strategic, financial, and business acumen—including experience managing budgets and reporting results—is required, as is experience with board governance, people leadership, stakeholder engagement, and risk management. Applicants should bring general knowledge of philanthropy and fundraising, and a relevant university degree with specialized nonprofit-management training, or equivalent experience. Animal welfare, capital campaign, and multi-site experience are considered assets.
