About the Role

The Company is seeking a Chief Executive Officer to lead its next significant chapter. The successful candidate will be responsible for growing the organization's reach, resources, and influence, and leading a healthy, ambitious team. This role is not for a caretaker or turnaround leader; it is about building on a strong foundation to expand the organization's impact. The CEO will work to grow philanthropic revenue, strengthen government relations, and advocate for the modernization of animal welfare legislation.

They will also be tasked with securing financial sustainability, deepening collaboration with partner shelters, and modernizing the organization's systems. The ideal candidate will be an experienced executive with a strategic vision, a hands-on approach, and the ability to lead through the emotional complexity of animal welfare work.

Applicants for the CEO position at the company should be prepared to hold a demanding and urgent enforcement mandate that intersects animal welfare and human well-being. The role requires a leader who can manage a unionized workforce, including collective bargaining, and who is adept at handling diverse stakeholder interests and difficult operational decisions. The CEO will be expected to have a strong connection to the region, with a preference for candidates who are bilingual in English and French.

While specific qualifications are valued, the company is more interested in the candidate's experience and ability to lead. The role offers a real opportunity to make a mark, with a board that is engaged and a cause that is poised to be the dominant philanthropic voice for animal welfare in the region.
