The Company is seeking an Executive Director to lead its mission of strengthening the bonds between people and animals through community engagement and compassionate care. The successful candidate will be a steady, strategic, and relationship-centered leader, responsible for organizational leadership, culture, and effectiveness. This role involves leading the organization through its next phase of sustainable growth, fostering a shared team culture, and ensuring the delivery of high-quality, evidence-informed care.

The ideal candidate will have significant senior leadership experience in a mission-driven organization, with a strong background in operational, financial, and systems management.
