About the Role

The Company is in search of an Executive Director to lead its esteemed wildlife sanctuary and animal advocacy organization. The successful candidate will be the chief executive and strategic leader, with a primary focus on advancing the organization's mission of rescuing and providing sanctuary for abused, abandoned, and retired captive wildlife. This role involves overseeing sanctuary operations, ensuring financial sustainability, leading fundraising efforts, guiding advocacy initiatives, and working closely with the Board of Directors. The Executive Director will be the champion of the organization's vision to end captive wildlife exploitation, while upholding its reputation as a world-class sanctuary and a significant voice in animal welfare policy. Applicants for the Executive Director position at the company should have a strong background in nonprofit leadership, with a proven track record in fundraising, donor cultivation, and financial management. Experience in working with engaged boards and the ability to build, mentor, and inspire high-performing teams are essential. The ideal candidate will be passionate about animal rights and will be committed to the organization's values and goals. The role requires a leader who can navigate the complex issues facing wild animals in entertainment, zoos, and the exotic pet trade, and who is dedicated to making a meaningful impact in the field of animal welfare.
