Seattle, United States Make-A-Wish Alaska and Washington Full time

About Make-A-Wish Alaska & Washington For children diagnosed with critical illnesses, a wish come true can be a crucial turning point in their lives. A wish can be that spark that helps these children believe that anything is possible and gives them the strength to fight harder against their illnesses. This impact is why Make-A-Wish Alaska & Washington (AKWA) is driven to make every one of these wishes come true. The inspiration and vision for Make-A-Wish began in Phoenix, Arizona in 1980 when a community came together for Christopher James Greicius, a 7-year-old boy battling leukemia, whose wish was to be a police officer. Receiving a custom-tailored uniform, a motorcycle helmet, and his very own battery-operated motorbike, the magic of that one wish created a movement. Today, Make-A-Wish has granted hundreds of thousands of life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses across the U.S. and its territories. About the Opportunity Make-A-Wish AKWA carries out its impactful work with a dedicated staff of 37. The Chapter partners with community volunteers to deliver its programs and is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Across the region, the chapter works to grant over 400 life-changing wishes each year and has delivered wishes to over 8,600 children locally. As part of Make-A-Wish America, one of the nations most recognized nonprofits, Make-A-Wish AKWA seeks a dynamic and inspiring Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to successfully guide the Chapter into the future. With a committed staff, a strong board, and an engaged volunteer force, the selected candidate will be well-positioned to make a significant mission impact. This is an ideal position for a highly relational, empathetic, and mission-driven leader with a track record of achievement and results. Key Accountabilities Fundraising & Development: Co-create the development strategy and actively fundraise to increase revenue through enhanced relationships with donors, corporate sponsors, funders, and community partners. Organizational Leadership: Develop and retain a passionate and talented team and ensure staff members achieve their goals in alignment with overall chapter performance metrics. Strategic Vision and Execution: Ensure the creation and execution of a clear and actionable long-term and short-term strategy to achieve the Chapter's vision. Board Engagement & Effectiveness: In partnership with the board chair, recruit, retain, and engage a diverse and effective Board of Directors. Financial and Operational Oversight: Ensure the organization has the proper oversight, internal controls, and transparent reporting to maintain fiscal health. Brand Advancement: Increase brand awareness and engagement through effective messaging and community outreach. Mission Delivery and Non-Profit DNA: Inspire staff, volunteers, and donors by authentically embodying the mission and ethos of the organization. Key Qualifications and Attributes Passion for, and commitment to, the Make-A-Wish mission. Executive or management experience at a respected nonprofit or public institution. While previous nonprofit CEO experience is highly desirable, individuals with a strong record of performance are encouraged to apply. Demonstrated results in major gift cultivation and solicitation.
