Executive Director, The Alaska Raptor Center

2 weeks ago


Sitka, United States SearchWide Global Full time

The Alaska Raptor Center is seeking a relatable, engaging, team-focused professional to serve as the new Executive Director. The Alaska Raptor Center was established in 1980 in the backyard of two concerned Sitkans, starting with one injured bald eagle. The effort grew, and volunteers treated eagles at their homes until 1983 when they moved to a small shed on the campus of Sheldon Jackson College. In 1991 the Center moved to its present location on 17 acres bordered by the Indian River. 


The Alaska Raptor Center provides medical treatment to approximately 200 injured birds each year. Although we specialize in raptors, we will aid any wild bird in need. We strive to heal, rehabilitate, and release all of our avian patients; however, some are injured too severely to fully recover and survive in the wild. These non-releasable birds may join our Raptors-in-Residence team, helping us teach the public and school children about the wonders of raptor natural history and the habitats in which they live


The Executive Director is responsible for the overall strategic direction, leadership, and management of the Alaska Raptor Center’s multi-faceted programs and business operations. The position reports and is accountable to the Board of Directors. The Executive Director will be a collaborative and visionary leader who strengthens the Alaska Raptor Center’s mission through outreach activities, development, and implementation of strategic plans, programs, and partnerships.

  • Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution, concentrating in business, tourism, marketing, organizational leadership, or related field.
  • Five years of progressively more responsible management/leadership or a combination of both.

  • Demonstrated success in a leadership position overseeing the day-to-day operations of an organization while maintaining solid relationships with staff, supporters, the board of directors, donors, government agencies, and the community.
