The Executive Director Search Committee of the Mosaic Family Services Board of Directors is pleased to invite qualified and passionate candidates to apply for the role of Executive Director. This leadership position is essential to guiding Mosaic into its next era of impact, innovation, and service to survivors, immigrants, and refugees across North Texas.

Since 1993, Mosaic Family Services has supported refugees and immigrants rebuilding their lives in the Dallas area. What began as a small counseling-focused organization has grown into a comprehensive agency offering:

• Legal Representation
• Mental Health Programs
• Citizenship and Immigration Services
• Housing Program
• Client Advocacy
• Safe Release Support
• Emergency Shelter for survivors of violence and trafficking

Mosaic is nationally recognized as a culturally competent, trauma-informed safe haven, uniquely equipped to serve the most marginalized communities — individuals who often cannot be served in traditional agencies. Mosaic’s next Executive Director must embody compassion, strategic vision, integrity, and the leadership required to steward this mission forward.

The Executive Director (ED) serves as Mosaic’s Chief Executive, responsible for leadership, administration, and oversight of organizational objectives, services, and initiatives. The ED ensures strategic, programmatic, and financial goals are met while upholding the highest standard of services for survivors. The ED leads the Management Team and acts as Mosaic’s primary representative and spokesperson.
