Quadrangle NL is hiring a Full-Time Executive Director
Quadrangle NL Community Centre is seeking a full-time Executive Director to join our growing team! Come work with us to expand and maintain our programming, resources, community spaces, outreach, and events across the province. We are seeking an organized, energetic, experienced leader to take up the helm from our outstanding first Executive Director.
In February 2021, we hired our first ED in a contractual/part time position. That Executive Director has led us through tremendous progress, and we have now grown to the extent that we require a full-time Executive Director to oversee, manage, and guide our work. We are deeply grateful to outgoing Executive Director and co-founder Charlie Murphy, for the work he has done in supporting, growing, and advancing the work and connections of Quadrangle. This organization will be always shaped by his vision, persistence, and tremendous work.
Please join the Board as we extend to Charlie our heartfelt thanks, and our very best wishes as he moves into a different chapter of his life. Charlie will also be available for onboard support of the new ED.
Please share this posting widely in your networks and encourage qualified applicants to apply. Meet you at the Quad!
