Organization Description
Bridge Meadows creates intergenerational communities where children and families find stability, parents find kinship and support, and elders find purpose, connection, and a place to age with dignity. Where each community is purposefully designed and carefully tended — bringing together three generations where everyone matters to the others. At the center of it all is a simple but radical belief: that community itself is the
intervention. Not merely a program or service. But rather, a place where relationships
are built deliberately across generations, and belonging follows. The result, for everyone who calls Bridge Meadows home, is not just stability but flourishing. We have
continuously proven this model across communities in the Pacific Northwest, and now,
as we grow outward, we bring this uniquely human, uniquely effective approach to new
communities who need exactly what more than twenty years of learning has made
possible.

About Share 

Share believes every person counts. For more than 46 years, Share has been a cornerstone of Clark County's response to homelessness and hunger, working to make our community home for everyone. Share pursues a stronger community by building relationships, advocating for equitable access to housing and food stability, and empowering individuals and families to grow and thrive.

Share provides a spectrum of services including emergency and transitional shelter for individuals and families, permanent supportive housing, rental assistance with case management, street outreach, community cleaning initiatives, job skills training, and a comprehensive range of nutrition programs including hot meals, backpack and fresh food pantries, mobile pantry, and summer meals for children. Share's programs serve thousands of Clark County residents each year across multiple sites, staffed by a team of about 120 employees with an annual budget of approximately $10 to $15 million.

Share envisions a community without hunger, where all people have safe and adequate housing and the skills to enhance their quality of life. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to how Share serves the community and how the organization operates internally.

Organizational Context

Share is in a moment of growth and opportunity. Over the past several years, the organization has expanded significantly in the scale and complexity of its programs, staff, and its reach across Clark County. That growth reflects the community's confidence in Share and the dedication of its staff, and it has positioned the organization to deepen its impact in the years ahead.

And the environment in which Share operates has never been more demanding. Shifts in funding, evolving government priorities, economic pressures, and growing community needs require organizations like Share, to have stronger internal systems, sharper prioritization, and more disciplined resource stewardship. The next CEO will join Share at a moment when operational excellence and adaptive leadership are not just organizational goals but community imperatives.

The CEO ensures that expanded capacity is matched by the operational systems, leadership infrastructure, and the skilled and supportive team needed to deliver high-quality services consistently and sustainably.

Share's Board of Directors is engaged and committed, with a strong focus on strategic stewardship and long-term organizational sustainability. The staff leadership team brings programmatic expertise and commitment to the mission. 

About You

You are a seasoned nonprofit executive who leads with intention and brings a systems-level perspective. You understand that sustainable mission delivery depends on clarity, strong management infrastructure, and consistent accountability at every level, and you have built those systems in complex, multi-program organizations. You build and develop strong leaders, right-size roles and workloads, and establish decision-making and communication processes that support alignment across a large and diverse team. You are as comfortable in operational details as you are partnering with a board of directors, and you bring the same steadiness and discipline to both.

You lead with a social justice orientation and understand how to put equity into practice through supervision, performance management, and the ways in which decisions are made and communicated day to day. You are drawn to frontline service work and to organizations that serve people experiencing homelessness, housing instability, and/or poverty. You bring humility and grounded judgment to the complexity and demands of mission-driven work.

Position Summary

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) reports to the Board of Directors and provides overall organizational leadership with a strong emphasis on operational excellence, management infrastructure, staff culture and wellbeing, and governance partnership.

The CEO oversees a large and diverse staff team across multiple program areas and sites, including shelter and housing programs, outreach, nutrition services, and community initiatives. This role requires an executive who can build strong senior leadership teams, develop and sustain management infrastructure, ensure clear and consistent communication across the organization, and serve as a trusted presence for staff, the Board, funders, and the broader Clark County community.

Share has a Director of Philanthropy and a full development team in place. While the CEO maintains ultimate accountability for the organization's financial health, the day-to-day leadership of fundraising and development is carried out by that team. The CEO's primary focus is on the internal systems, leadership capacity, and organizational health that make sustained and high-quality service delivery possible. The CEO is supported in this work by staff leaders in finance and HR.

About Childswork Learning Center

Childswork Learning Center is a fully funded Preschool for All provider serving 3- and 4-year-olds across three campuses in Portland, Oregon: Cherry Blossom, Tabor, and Hosford. As a Preschool for All partner, Childswork is part of Multnomah County's commitment to providing free, culturally responsive, and inclusive early learning to every family who wants it. With a growing team of faculty and administrative staff, Childswork is at an exciting and consequential moment in its development.
 

Our people make this work possible. When our staff feel supported, heard, and valued, that energy flows directly into the classrooms and into the lives of the children and families we serve. We are building the internal infrastructure to match our ambitions, and the Director of People, Culture and Equity is central to that work.
 



About You

You lead with empathy and believe every employee deserves to feel valued and heard, and you understand that this shows up in the details, including the accuracy of a paycheck and the clarity of a benefits explanation. You are a skilled listener who follows through, and people trust you because you do what you say you will. You bring warmth, discreetness, and professionalism to every interaction, whether navigating a sensitive conversation or walking someone through an open enrollment decision. You understand that working in an early childhood environment calls for patience, care, and the ability to hold professional boundaries with genuine intention. You are organized and detail-oriented, able to manage multiple priorities across multiple sites without losing sight of the people behind the paperwork.
 

You are also approachable and decisive. You know when to be clear, direct, and firm. You are an experienced investigator and employee relations practitioner who can manage a formal grievance process with fairness, consistency, and legal awareness. You are a builder, energized by the opportunity to create systems and infrastructure, not just maintain them. You are a strong coach and thought partner for managers, helping them grow their supervisory skills with practical, grounded guidance. And you are genuinely committed to equity and inclusion, bringing that lens to every aspect of your HR practice, not just the initiatives labeled DEI.

This role reports directly to the Executive Director and serves as a senior leader and thought partner across the organization.
 

The Director will bring both warmth and decisiveness to their work. They will be a trusted resource for staff navigating workplace concerns, a skilled investigator when issues require formal attention, a coach for managers building their supervisory skills, and an equity-committed leader who embeds culturally responsive values into every people practice.

Executive Director

About CARDV

For more than four decades, the Center Against Rape and Domestic Violence (CARDV) has stood as a trusted refuge and resource for survivors in Linn and Benton counties. Founded on the belief that every person deserves to live free from violence, CARDV has grown from a grassroots response to crisis into a comprehensive, survivor-centered organization with deep roots across the communities it serves.
Based in Corvallis and serving Linn and Benton counties, CARDV provides a continuum of services that meet survivors wherever they are. Those services include a 24-hour crisis and support line, confidential shelter, crisis response, legal advocacy, support groups, live chat, and robust community education programming.
CARDV’s mission is twofold: to provide direct services and support to those affected by sexual and domestic violence, and to lead education and advocacy efforts that address the societal conditions which allow these forms of violence to persist. This dual commitment—to individual healing and to systemic change—distinguishes CARDV as both a service provider and a catalyst for community transformation.

CARDV’s work is grounded in a clear set of organizational values—respect, inclusion, leadership, support, trust, growth, and responsiveness—and its Principles of Unity reflect an unwavering commitment to survivor autonomy, anti-oppression, and community-wide change. CARDV recognizes that domestic and sexual violence are rooted in inequity and that lasting change requires engaging the whole community: survivors, families, institutions, and allies alike.

The Opportunity 

The Center Against Rape and Domestic Violence (CARDV) seeks a values-driven, strategic, and compassionate leader to serve as its next Executive Director.

CARDV has stood alongside survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault for more than 40 years, offering safety, healing, and advocacy while also working to shift the cultural and systemic conditions that allow violence to persist.

• Lead with integrity, steadiness, values-alignment, and strong judgment
• Center survivors while supporting staff wellbeing and retention
• Partner effectively with a volunteer Board of Directors
