Executive Director Opportunity At WildCare

WildCare seeks a visionary Executive Director to lead one of the Bay Area's most beloved wildlife organizations into a bold new chapter.

WildCare is entering a transformative era, marked by the highly anticipated opening of its new Wildlife Hospital and Education Center in Albert Park, San Rafael, in October 2026. This milestone is the culmination of a successful $24M capital campaign, reflecting the Bay Area community's unwavering support for WildCare's mission. The incoming Executive Director will have the exciting opportunity to lead this beloved institution during a significant period of transition, overseeing a fully funded project backed by a dedicated board, talented staff, and passionate volunteers.

The ideal candidate will be an inspiring leader and clear communicator, bringing emotional intelligence and a passion for the animals and communities WildCare serves. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a beloved and well-resourced organization.

Compensation: This is a full-time, exempt, benefit-eligible position. The anticipated annual salary range is $200,000–220,000, commensurate with experience.

WildCare offers a comprehensive benefits package including up to 100% of the cost of health insurance, dental, vision, long-term disability, life insurance, a generous vacation and sick time package, 14 paid holidays a year, and a 401K package with an employer match of up to 4%.

Location: WildCare is based in San Rafael, California. The Executive Director will maintain a regular in-person presence across WildCare's current and new Albert Park facilities, with engagement throughout the greater Bay Area region.

Start Date: Fall 2026

To Apply: Please include a resume and a cover letter describing your qualifications that match the position criteria. The position is open until filled.
