$74k - $80kBest Friends Animal Society
You've spent years improving the animal shelters you've worked in - leading teams, inspiring change, and saving lives. Now, imagine doing that on a national scale.
Join the National Shelter Embed Team
We're a dynamic group of professionals working side by side with animal sheltering agencies across the U.S. to implement proven strategies and save more lives. This job isn't a manager in the traditional sense - it's about managing change. You'll be embedded in shelters, helping build stronger systems, improve outcomes, and create lasting impact. It's hands-on, collaborative, and deeply rewarding.
Life on the Road
Remote-based, but travel-heavy (up to 90%).
Typical deployments range from 2-12 months (yes, your pets may come!).
Travel and relocation costs are covered by Best Friends (but you'll need your car).
Short breaks provided between deployments to recharge and prep for the next project.
What You'll Do
Collaborate with shelter staff to implement customized action plans.
Strengthen shelter programs like playgroups, pathway planning, biosecurity, field services, and more.
Advocate for modern policies with local stakeholders.
Be the reason animals get a second chance.
Who You Are
A seasoned animal shelter professional with practical experience managing teams across the full spectrum of shelter operations.
Adaptable and confident, with a knack for resolving conflict and building trust.
