We’re hiring for an Executive Director!
Following a period of growth and institutional solidification, WFC is searching for a new Executive Director to lead with vision, integrity, and impact. This search takes place within the context of a complex and rapidly evolving anti-hunger sector, and food banking in particular, with uncertainty in public policy and community needs. While challenging, this also presents an outstanding opportunity for WFC to become ever more valuable to its members, to the public, and to hungry people in Washington. WFC is uniquely placed to facilitate knowledge sharing and best practices among its members, to develop and share innovative ways to meet the needs of hungry people within this changing context, and to be the voice of its members in the larger public arena. This also presents opportunities for program innovation, organizational expansion, and funding diversification.
The role requires a visionary, collaborative leader with hands-on skills to advance WFC’s mission to strengthen the hunger relief network across Washington. It requires exceptional leadership, communication, and coalition-building skills, as well as a solid understanding of the nonprofit, social service, and member association sectors. A vital component of the Executive Director’s role is a passion for community engagement and serving as a public representative of WFC and its membership with other organizations and coalitions. As leader of the organization, the Executive Director will oversee all aspects of organizational strategy, fund development, member engagement, and advocacy to ensure WFC remains relevant, adaptable, and impactful. This includes managing all operations, staff and volunteer supervision, financial management, fundraising, board development, and strategic planning.
