About the organisation
About the role
Small and enduring NFP business with energetic Board and strong support base seeking entrepreneurial, business-savvy leader.
• Leadership challenge for CEO skilled in getting big returns from limited resources
• Nonprofit interests/experience + great commercial record most acceptable
• Package is negotiable with part time hours an option
Almost 40 years since it was begun by concerned volunteers, this intrepid support organization has gone from strength to strength in its determination to help Queenslanders afflicted by a number of neuromuscular disorders.
Offering information, care services, personal support and equipment, it enriches the quality of life for its members and their families.
Primarily self-funded, this is a small nonprofit that has always punched above its weight. With a close ‘family style’ culture, it’s backed by an enthusiastic Board and committed membership. Thanks to a strong support base, it has ‘soldiered-on’ over the years to outstay many other organisations that have succumbed to overwhelming change.
Now, poised for vigorous development within the shifting nonprofit landscape, it is mindful of a need to adapt and understand the potential of NDIS in order to serve new and existing members. It’s now time to find a new explicitly skilled CEO.
To become this new leader, you need to be a compassionate and trustworthy professional manager with the measure of contemporary fundraising practices, an entrepreneurial spirit, pragmatic creativity, a big heart and an eye to the main chance.
Grounded and pragmatic, a planner, a problem solver and an intuitive negotiator, you are essentially systematic and organized. But as a commercially far-sighted professional, you also think laterally and have a reputation for developing new ideas into strong affirmative action.
Ideally with a background in commercial and nonprofit enterprise – used to working with Boards and perhaps with some knowledge of membership organisations – you come with a clear idea on how a small business should be run if it’s to grow and prosper in today’s (nonprofit) markets.
With a strong focus on the bottom line, you nevertheless have superb soft skills and a gentle style of leadership that consistently inspires others to want to join you in all your endeavours
While full time dedication and advocacy is a given, part-time working hours is an option we can talk about.
