The Company is seeking a Chief Operating Officer (COO) and President for its Social Enterprises. This inaugural role is pivotal in leading the organization's daily operations, developing and implementing systems for administrative functions, and driving critical efficiencies. The successful candidate will be responsible for nurturing strong teams, fostering cross-team collaboration, and cultivating a culture of performance, accountability, and community care.

This role requires a strategic, entrepreneurial leader who is passionate about the mission of the organization and is ready to make a significant impact. The candidate should be adept at building and leading teams, and be prepared to work closely with the President and CEO to ensure the long-term sustainability and profitability of the social enterprises.
