About the Role

The Company is seeking a Chief Executive Officer to provide strategic and operational leadership, partner with the Board, and guide the organization’s next strategic plan. The CEO will strengthen long-term sustainability by diversifying revenue, advancing fundraising, overseeing financial and commercial matters, and reviewing programs and organizational structure. Responsibilities include representing the organization with government, funders, and community partners; championing its mission through advocacy; and ensuring effective operations, compliance, risk management, and outcome measurement. The CEO will also lead the executive team, support succession planning, and foster an equitable,



inclusive workplace culture through a visible and team-oriented leadership presence.

Candidates should have a relevant university degree or an equivalent combination of education, leadership experience, and achievement, along with at least 10 years of progressive senior leadership experience. They should have demonstrated success leading complex organizations or major portfolios, with accountability for strategy, people, budgets, programs, and operations. Strong financial and commercial acumen, experience with fundraising and revenue generation, and the ability to lead organizational change are essential. Experience with nonprofit finances, grants, audits, compliance, and strategic planning is valuable; knowledge of immigrant-serving programs and government-funded services is an asset. Excellent advocacy, communication, analytical, conflict-resolution, and decision-making skills are required.
