About the Role

The Company is in search of a visionary and community-engaged leader to take on the role of Chief Executive Officer. The successful candidate will be responsible for strategic organizational leadership, fostering a culture of trust, transparency, and innovation, and ensuring operational discipline. This includes leading the organization through its strategic framework, sustaining strong donor and community relationships, and being a visible advocate for the mission. The CEO will also be tasked with external relations, advocacy, and fundraising, as well as providing operational and fiscal stewardship. The ideal candidate will be a collaborative and trust-building leader, with a strong background in nonprofit finance, and a deep understanding of the complexities of logistics, warehousing, and food distribution. Candidates for the CEO position at the company should be visionary and strategic, with a proven track record of guiding organizations through change and a commitment to the mission of equitable access to food. The role requires an effective fundraiser and communicator, with the ability to engage with donors, elected officials, and the media. A Bachelor's degree is required, with an advanced degree preferred, and significant senior leadership experience, particularly in a complex nonprofit or public-sector organization, is essential. The ideal candidate will be operationally grounded, policy-aware, and aligned with the company's core values. They should be adept at building and managing a high-performing team, and be prepared to lead the organization through a changing and unpredictable operational environment.
