About ACWS

Established in 1983, ACWS is a registered charity that works with its members to end domestic violence. With over 50 shelters across the province serving women, children, and seniors facing domestic abuse, ACWS provides critical support and advocacy services.

About the Role

We are looking for a dynamic and proactive leader who can provide vision, guidance, and inspiration to our team. As Executive Director, you will work closely with members, government agencies, community partners, and allies to advocate for policies and programs addressing domestic violence and supporting survivors.

You will be responsible for developing and implementing approved short and long-term strategic plans, reviewing and revising policies and procedures, and establishing organizational practices in operations, finances, technology, and human resources.

Key Responsibilities
  • Foster collaborative relationships with members, community organizations, government, and others to strengthen the collective response to domestic violence.
  • Champion legislative and policy changes to address systemic issues related to domestic violence and promote gender equality.
  • Develop, review, and revise policies and procedures for Board approval.
  • Establish and implement organization policies, procedures, and practices in all aspects of ACWS.

The successful candidate will have a Bachelor's degree in social work, public administration, non-profit management, or a related field (Master's degree preferred). A minimum of 7-10 years of progressive leadership experience in the non-profit sector, with a focus on advocacy, social justice, or violence against women issues, is required.

Additional qualifications include a strong understanding of domestic violence issues, trauma-informed care principles, and the dynamics of gender-based violence. You should have a proven track record of successful fundraising, grant writing, and financial management, as well as clear communication skills, strong collaboration skills, and the ability to provide leadership and strategic influence within communities and throughout the province and beyond.

The estimated salary range for this position is $120,000 - $150,000 per year, commensurate with experience and qualifications. We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as opportunities for professional development and growth.
