President
Organization: Ecotrust Canada
Location: Vancouver, British Columbia
Ecotrust Canada is a federally registered ch
arity with a 20 year
history, an excellent track record of results and a bold, important
mission: to design economic alternatives that benefit people in place.
A trusted and respected brand in the non-profit marketplace, Ecotrust
Canada exists to support the transition from an economy founded on
industrial resource extraction to one that more directly and
immediately benefits communities and the environment. The organization
is relentlessly practical in its approach – supporting the design,
prototyping and launching of new enterprises that demonstrate that an
alternative approach to economic development is not only possible but
also preferable.
Ecotrust Canada is known for being an organization that is strategic,
thoughtful and innovative in working with communities,
non-governmental organizations, governments, private enterprise and
other non-profit partners. We are well positioned as one of the few
organizations in Canada that has lengthy experience working with First
Nations and indigenous communities on issues of resource management,
territorial rights and culture. In this realm, Ecotrust Canada acts as
a catalyst, resource, and broker.
Ecotrust Canada is looking for a dynamic and results-driven leader;
someone who can communicate, network, fundraise and motivate others to
create impactful social change as well as provide strategic leadership
and top-level management to ensure that the organization consistently
achieves its Mission and Strategic Objectives. This leadership role is
for someone who wants to create a legacy, someone who will strongly
lead the Ecotrust Canada team in its mission.
The successful candidate will be a strategic, inspirational leader who
strongly believes in the Mission of Ecotrust Canada and the critical
role it plays, and who will be excited by the opportunity to harness
the organization’s growth and development potential in the coming
years. S/he will have superior fundraising and communication skills
and over ten years of senior leadership and management experience in
non-profit and/or for-profit organizations. S/he will use their
leadership skills to raise capital and awareness for the design,
support and incubation of triple bottom line economic solutions that
are good for people in place. These social enterprises are game
changers for communities and industry sectors, support the continuing
work of the charity, and demonstrate what is possible.
