Executive Director

Garland/Rockwall - (Hybrid) We are engaged is a search for a nonprofit leadership role that’s a little different than most.

This isn’t a maintenance role. It’s a build, grow, and lead opportunity.

The organization is established, respected, and mission-driven—focused on child advocacy—but like many nonprofits right now, the real lever is funding, visibility, and leadership alignment.

They have:
• A committed Board
• A solid team (10 staff)
• An active volunteer base
• A meaningful presence in the community
What they need is the right leader to push it forward. Where this role stands out
This is not just operational oversight.
This is a fundraising-forward Executive Director role.

If you’re not comfortable:
• Leading donor conversations
• Driving grant strategy
• Expanding funding streams
• Partnering with a Board on development

This won’t be the right fit.

But if you are—this is where it gets interesting. What you’d actually be doing

• Leading the organization day-to-day while keeping a clear strategic direction
• Acting as the primary voice in the community and with key stakeholders
• Working directly with the Board on growth, funding, and direction
• Building and strengthening donor, foundation, and community relationships
• Supporting and leading a small, committed team and volunteer network The profile that works here
• Nonprofit leadership experience (or senior-level ready to step up)
• Strong exposure to fundraising, grants, and donor development
• Comfortable being both visible externally and accountable internally
• Someone who can balance mission, people, and financial reality
•Someone who can be the face of the organization in media events. Why this is worth a conversation

It’s a chance to step into a role where:
• The mission is real
• The platform is already in place
• And the next phase depends heavily on leadership If this sounds like something you’d at least be open to hearing more about, I’d welcome a quick, iconversation.
