ABOUT THE ROLE
As ED, you will lead a passionate and creative team to help achieve POW Canada’s strategic objectives. Reporting to the Board, you will have responsibility for developing and implementing the organisational strategy, establishing and managing budgets and forecasts, ensuring strong organisational governance, and supporting our people to excel. It’s a small team, so you can expect to be involved in the day-to-day, including campaign oversight, events, as well as partner and government relations.
ABOUT YOU
First and foremost, you want to make a difference in the fight against climate change. You love leading teams and helping them to achieve their potential, and you believe culture trumps everything.
A confident leader, you’re just as happy speaking to a room full of athletes or to the media as you are to our most important partners and donors. You have a strong connection to the outdoor community, and you understand that POW is as much a brand as it is a nonprofit, and you are passionate about climate change.
