Executive Director/CEO

The National Ability Center actively seeks a dynamic and
growth-focused Executive
Director/CEO who is committed to strategically
broadening the NAC’s reach to participants, partners, and sources
of funding. This is a remarkable opportunity in one of the
country’s most beautiful settings to embrace and lead
meaningful impact along with an already excited and committed group
of stakeholders. The ideal candidate excels in strategy and
execution and has a limitless growth mindset as a fearless
fundraiser with a successful track record that underscores and
demonstrates broad-reaching outcomes and communicates in a
world-class fashion both externally and internally. ​

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Design and Execute a Strategic Plan and
  ensure the realization of its objectives. There is consensus
  among the board that the development of a three to five-year
  organizational plan is paramount. The incoming candidate
  should be excited and unafraid of this opportunity.​
• Work at the Highest Professional Levels with the Board
  of Directors to create a
  best-in-class organization from top to bottom. Authentically
  communicate to the board of directors.​
• Embrace Fundraising: A successful fundraising
  team is in place and requires additional leadership and
  thought. Through the development, marketing, and programs teams,
  creatively direct revenue generation, key relationships, and
  fundraising strategy.​
• Be a Great Leader of People. The staff and
  volunteers are both talented and committed to
  the organization’s mission. And they are hungry for success
  and results.​
• Be Unafraid: The NAC is one of the
  largest and best-known nonprofits in Park City, with a budget of
  over $10M. Important partnerships in these and other communities
  need fostering. But other and even larger opportunities,
  partnerships, and funding sources exist nationally. The
  incoming Executive Director/CEO should aggressively seek those
  opportunities.

Q​qualifications include but are not limited to:

• Demonstrated experience and success as a nonprofit or
  for-profit CEO, Executive Director, or C-Suite Executive. Prior
  service as the head of an organization is highly desirable.​
• Successful track record leading organizational growth to
  include board management, fundraising, and national
  partnership development. ​
• A comprehensive understanding of effective nonprofit delivery
  methods, organizational capacity building, and high-level
  volunteer management.​
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced and dynamic work environment
  where diversity is encouraged and embraced.​
• Infectious enthusiasm for the NAC’s mission.​
• An authentic communication style that draws stakeholders at all
  levels into the organization.​
• Expertise in building, mentoring, and holding accountable
  high-performance, mission-driven, and results-oriented
  teams.​
