The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to articulate a compelling vision and keep people focused during challenging times as well as invite new partners into the mission. The candidate we seek will have a track record of data driven, evidence-based outcomes, and possess the highest level of oral, written and interpersonal communication skills to effectively work with a broad range of individuals and organizations, including Board members, families, funders, professional colleagues, public officials, community partners, and the media.

Proven Leadership and Management Skills: The next leader will be one who recognizes and values the wealth of experience held by the staff. The individual will have the temperament and skills to continue fostering the development of talented staff, as well as a demonstrated ability to bring passion, vision, direction, business discipline and inspiration into the agency. The successful candidate will be a relationship builder and will be skilled at guiding the team towards shared success and positive client experiences.

The next CEO will have demonstrated strong experience and ability in setting goals, implementing a strategic plan, and openly sharing issues and opportunities with a board of directors.
Relationship Building and Donor Engagement Capacity: A compelling presence and excellent speaking and communication skills are a must, as is a proven history of building strategic, sustainable programmatic relationships with community and funding partners. Candidates must be prepared to serve as a true ambassador and key external representative for Ethos and to build support for the mission through collaboration, advocacy and leadership. The successful candidate will be viewed broadly as a leader among leaders, with proven fundraising skills (especially with large individual donors, foundations and the business community).
Business Acumen: A big picture thinker and ambitious leader, the next CEO will also possess strong business acumen to oversee all aspects of the business operation, including but not limited to human capital, fiscal solvency, and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously. They will have demonstrated expertise in finance and financial oversight and will be comfortable with technology and management information systems. This person must be organized, goal-oriented and decisive.
Knowledge and Experience with Diverse Populations: Candidates should have experience working in racially and ethnically diverse communities and with individuals and families from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Experience in the planning, execution and evaluation of human services delivery systems, preferably for the elderly or disabled is preferred. Although deep expertise in Elder Care services is not required, a willingness and inclination to learn will be needed both for program effectiveness and for identifying and securing funding sources.
Significant experience in the administration and management of a large social services agency, preferably a nonprofit, is required. Demonstrated ability to evaluate, interpret and understand complex regulations, standards and procedures.
An advanced degree in Social Work, Public Health, Gerontology, Nursing or other fields in Human Services. Note: Experience may be substituted for the advanced degree.
