Grand Rapids, United States North Kent Connect Full time

**About North Kent Connect**

Established by the local community and church leaders 50 years ago, North Kent Connect (NKC) started as a grassroots initiative to aid low-income families in northern Kent County. Today, we're a thriving $1.4 million organization with 19 dedicated team members and dozens of dedicated volunteers focused on providing essential services to our neighbors including fresh, healthy food, clothing, rental and utility assistance, access to transportation and many other support programs. NKC is a Christian organization on a mission to improve lives of all people in northern Kent County by providing access to basic needs and promoting economic independence. Our bustling campus houses a healthy food pantry, thrift store, garden, and space for our community partners like West Michigan Works and Disability Advocates of Kent County.

As an organization running on the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), we're clear about our future. With distinct vision, structure and processes and everyone rowing in the same direction, we're aligned and focused on our 3-Year Picture and 10-Year Target, which are clearly outlined on our two-page strategic plan.

**About the Executive Director opportunity**

Our current Executive Director/Visionary is retiring after 11 years of successful leadership. This moment in our organization's history calls for an inspirational and tenacious leader with a deep passion for people in poverty and the systems working against them, a vision for driving sustainable growth, and an aptitude for fundraising.

The Executive Director of NKC is a visionary leader responsible for driving the organization's strategic growth. Working closely with the Board of Directors, Integrator and the Leadership Team, the Executive Director sets the organization's culture, spearheads community engagement, and leads fundraising efforts. This role is to be the "face" of NKC, to dream big, to sell the vision, open doors, engage the community, and deepen relationships with our major donors.
- **
Embody the Three Core Values of NKC**
- People First: Treat everyone with respect, helpful, kind, fantastic service
- Dynamic: Passionate about mission, enthusiastic, proactive, resourceful
- Aligned: United toward a common goal, collaborative, camaraderie, fun
- ** Be a Visionary | **With an entrepreneurial spirit, maintain alignment with NKC's Core Focus, 10-year Target and 3-Year Picture. Understand that this is not an operations management role, rather a guide for the organization and the leadership team. Familiarity with EOS principles is ideal
- ** Steward our Culture | **Foster a positive, trusting, inclusive, authentic and accountable organizational culture and lead with warmth, humility and transparency. We are a strong, supportive team who engages in healthy debate and discourse.
- ** Employ Big Ideas & Growth Focus | **Bring a spirit of innovation to the programs with an eye toward piloting new ideas that will maximize existing impact and employ entrepreneurial mindset and business savvy to identify and execute strategic initiatives for growth.
- ** Advocate for the Underserved |** Broad knowledge of the policy environment relevant to food insecurity, rural transportation challenges, homelessness, and other issues prevalent in low-income families.
- ** Cultivate Resources | **Refine fund development strategies, foster sustainable partnerships (with individuals, businesses, churches, civic groups, foundations, etc.) and secure funding to support NKC's mission.
- ** Provide Spiritually Inclusive Leadership | **While this is not a evangelical organization nor role, the Executive Director must be comfortable leading a faith-based environment, and inclusive and inviting to people of all socioeconomic backgrounds, professions, and faith traditions.
- ** Establish a Strong Board Partnership| **Build, cultivate, and nurture a true partnership with the Board of Directors, built on mutual respect and trust. Our board is healthy, strong, engaged and aligned.
