We're looking for a mission-driven, operationally skilled leader to take the reins of our shelter's daily operations and guide the animal care team into the next chapter.
This is not just a day-to-day role — it's a strategic leadership position for someone who sees sheltering not only as a system to manage, but as a cause to grow thoughtfully. You'll supervise our Animal Care Manager and Animal Care Specialist Supervisor, oversee high-level coordination between departments, and work closely with senior leadership to shape the future of our services.
You'll be a great fit if you :
- Thrive in team-based leadership and are skilled at mentoring others into clarity, consistency, and accountability
- Are ready to take full ownership of shelter operations — not just managing tasks, but building systems that support staff, animals, and community trust
- Are interested in long-term impact, and bring both steadiness and curiosity to solving the challenges that face small but vital community shelters
- Are comfortable working alongside an executive leader today — and ready to lead independently when the time comes
Core responsibilities include :
Qualifications :
Bonus if you have :
This isn't a role to grow out of — it's one to grow into.
If you're the kind of leader who wants to help shape a mission from the inside, who finds satisfaction in sustainable systems and resilient teams, we'd love to talk.
