  3. Lead organizational planning, budgeting, policy development, and performance measurement
  4. Build and maintain strong relationships with Indigenous communities, government agencies, funders, and partners
  5. Oversee program delivery, ensuring services are culturally based, trauma-informed, and aligned with Indigenous values and philosophies
  6. Advocate on behalf of the urban Indigenous community at regional, provincial, and federal levels
  7. Support the Board of Directors through transparent governance and communication
  8. Ensure fiscal responsibility through financial planning, monitoring, and risk management
  9. Foster a healthy, inclusive, and values-driven organizational culture

Qualifications:

  1. Master’s degree in Public Administration, Indigenous Governance, Social Sciences, Law, Finance, or a related field
  2. Minimum of 3 years’ experience in senior leadership, preferably in an Indigenous, not-for-profit, or community-based organization
  3. Demonstrated success in strategic planning, financial oversight, and organizational development
  4. Deep understanding of Indigenous communities, cultures, and values, particularly in an urban context
  5. Strong communication, negotiation, and partnership-building skills
  6. Experience working with Boards of Directors and diverse stakeholders
  7. Sound knowledge of culturally appropriate and trauma-informed practices
  8. Preference will be given to qualified Indigenous applicants

Working Conditions:
This position offers a hybrid work model with a mix of in-office and remote flexibility. Occasional evening and weekend work, as well as travel, may be required.

How to Apply:
Please submit your resume and a cover letter to operations@mvaec.ca with the subject line: Confidential CEO Application.
