Employment Opportunity: Executive Director, Future Ready Initiative
August 12, 2020 | Canada
The Future Ready Initiative is the Council for Canada’s integrated, institutional response to some of the most significant, urgent changes facing the Jamat in Canada, and those with whom the Jamat lives. The Program responds to four inter-related needs within the Jamat: i) family mentorship; ii) employment, including the Future of Work and Future of Business; iii) mental health; and iv) youth mentorship and leadership development. The impact of COVID-19 and the acceleration of significant shifts in business and labour markets have underscored the urgency of the Future of Work and Business. In common across all programmatic responses to these four pillars, the program relies on the dual concepts of professional navigation and individual agency.
The Initiative is an ambitious undertaking which will reposition the support provided to the Jamat and the ways in which the Jamati Institutions engage with the Jamat over the next decade. It will fundamentally shift the level of aspiration for the Jamat and expectation of delivery – both of staff and volunteers.
The Council for Canada is seeking to recruit an Executive Director with demonstrated strategic leadership skills, strong people and process management, an ability to work effectively with the Jamati Institutions to drive to outcomes, and an entrepreneurial mindset to build a new institution. Reporting to the Council for Canada President, the Executive Director can be based anywhere in Canada.
To apply, please complete the Application Form, which includes the submission of a cover letter (maximum one page), resume (maximum two pages), and three references by Wednesday, August 26. All candidates will receive a confirmation of receipt and indication of whether they are moving forward by August 28.
