Southwest Florida Executive Director - Fort Myers, United States - Better Together
Description
OVERVIEW
The Better Together team seeks a dynamic Southwest Florida Executive Director to oversee, support, and grow the Better Families program in Southwest Florida, which consists of Collier, Lee, Charlotte, Sarasota, Manatee, Hendry and Glades counties. The Executive Director will lead the continued development of the Better Families program as well as spearhead its growth by cultivating and building new relationships with donors, community partners, volunteers and churches.
An ideal candidate will have a minimum of a bachelor's degree in social work or another human service-related degree with at least three years of direct experience working with vulnerable children and families. A master's in social work or another leadership or human services-related degree and 2-4 years' experience in a leadership role is strongly preferred. They should feel called to minister to children and families in crisis and share our passion for keeping children out of foster care and families together. They should have demonstrated skills in leadership, communication, organization, networking, coaching/training, and motivating volunteers and the community. He or she should be a self-starter who is comfortable working remotely and has a demonstrated ability to analyze problems and find creative solutions and thrives when challenged.
CULTURE AND FIT
The people who consistently succeed at Better Together are those whose actions and behavior reflect our five core values. If you adhere to these values and answer "yes" to each of these questions, you may be a fit.
Owner's Mindset: You are invested in the outcomes of our mission.
Choosing Gratitude: There are many things in life that can make us upset. Every day we have a choice to either be negative or give thanks.
Love Others: We aim to love others like Christ loves us. Our hope is that our lives would be filled and overflowing with love, so that we can make a difference in this world.
Partnership-Oriented: Internal and external relationships are not transactional. That starts with our team members and the perspective that we need the rest of the team to succeed in order to win personally.
The Sky is the Limit: We have a big vision at Better Together. No one on our team is counting hours or widgets. We are here to get results, and sometimes that will require going the extra mile or doing a job that isn't technically ours.
The vast majority of those who don't get hired (or don't last) at Better Together lack a fit with these values. Be prepared to have very candid conversations about them in our interview process.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The Southwest Florida Executive Director will have four primary roles, broken down into key responsibilities. They are:
Leadership, Metrics and Accountability
Supervision and Support
Donor Prospecting and Cultivation
Church and Community Engagement
REQUIREMENTS
TIMING, LOCATION AND COMPENSATION
Better Together seeks to fill this position as soon as possible. The organization's headquarters are in Naples, Florida; however, the candidate must live in the Southwest Florida region. Better Together has built a highly successful remote work culture over the past decade with systems and structures designed for clarity, flexibility, and great communication. Key elements of the environment include:
Better Together offers a competitive salary and benefits package, which includes a health benefit and generous paid leave plan. Please email a cover letter and resume to
