Palm City, Florida, United States American Humane Full time


American Humane is in search of a dedicated Animal Sanctuary Operations Manager who will reside on-site and oversee the daily management of the Sanctuary and its animal inhabitants.

American Humane is devoted to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within the workplace. We strongly encourage candidates from varied backgrounds to consider this opportunity.

For over a century, American Humane has been at the forefront of advocating for animal welfare and enhancing the connection between animals and humans.

We are always ready to assist wherever animals require rescue, shelter, protection, or care.

Through our pioneering leadership initiatives – from our "No Animals Were Harmed" program in the film industry to comprehensive farm and conservation animal welfare certifications, and rapid response rescue operations nationwide – American Humane sets the benchmark as the most innovative and effective animal welfare organization in the country.


Position Overview:

The Animal Sanctuary Operations Manager, Humane Sanctuary, will live on-site and manage the daily operations of the Sanctuary and the care of all animal residents.

The Manager will report to the Chief Veterinary Officer & Animal Ethicist (CVO) and the Senior Vice President & Chief Operating Officer (COO), ensuring the well-being, safety, and appropriate care of animals residing on the property, whether their stay is temporary or long-term, while also managing service providers and maintaining the property in optimal condition.

Daily responsibilities include cleaning, feeding, grooming, administering veterinary medications and treatments, and providing enrichment for a variety of animals, including horses, dogs, birds, and other species yet to be determined. Property management includes performing basic maintenance and overseeing service providers conducting work on the premises.

As the Sanctuary's programs expand, the Animal Sanctuary Operations Manager will collaboratively develop volunteer opportunities and supervise the efforts of volunteers assisting with animal care at the Sanctuary.


Key Responsibilities:

Property Oversight:

Conducting basic, routine maintenance as necessary.

+ Coordinating with service providers performing work on the property, including routine maintenance, such as landscaping, and larger projects, such as construction of new facilities, while flagging any issues and keeping leadership informed of progress or concerns.

+ Keeping leadership updated on work being conducted on-site, highlighting any issues or communicating decisions that require attention, particularly those affecting animal health and welfare.

Essential Qualifications:
+ High school diploma required; Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Animal Science preferred. + Licensed Animal Care Technician or equivalent experience strongly preferred but not mandatory. + General knowledge of animal behavior, husbandry, and care is essential, with equine experience required. + Proven knowledge and experience in safely implementing animal husbandry best practices for all species residing at the Sanctuary. + Basic maintenance skills and the ability to troubleshoot property issues before they escalate. + Ability to remain calm and composed in stressful or emergency situations. + Effectively prioritize workload and needs. + Ability to work collaboratively with a diverse range of individuals. + Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills. + Maintain a professional demeanor at all times. + Handle confidential information with discretion. + Use sound judgment; able to problem-solve quickly and independently. + Ability to collaborate effectively and work as part of a team. + Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Outlook for email and scheduling, and Excel for record-keeping.
