About Square One World Media
Square One World Media is a faith-based nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing media that reflects a biblical worldview. We produce content that reaches people across Canada and internationally, partnering with churches, donors, and ministry organizations who share our vision. We are a small, mission-driven team that takes both our work and our faith seriously.
The Opportunity
We are searching for an Executive Director to lead Square One World Media through its next chapter. Reporting to the Board of Directors, the ED is the organization's senior leader — responsible for advancing the vision and mission, overseeing operations and programs, managing a committed team, and sustaining the financial health of the organization through active fundraising and donor relationships.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You will work closely with the Board, represent the organization publicly, and be the person your staff look to for direction, support, and accountability. If you are a leader who is equally comfortable casting vision in front of a church congregation and reviewing a monthly budget with a finance committee, this role was built for you.
Key Responsibilities
Leadership
- Partner with the Board of Directors to develop and execute the organization's strategic plan
- Provide biblically grounded leadership, vision, and motivation to Canadian and international staff
- Act as the primary organizational spokesperson and professional advisor to the Board
- Identify and communicate internal and external issues that affect the organization
Programs
- Oversee planning, implementation, and evaluation of all programs and services
- Ensure all programming reflects the organization's mission and Board priorities
- Lead the execution and evaluation of special projects
People
- Mentor, develop, and build a team united around a common purpose
- Determine staffing requirements and oversee all HR functions including hiring, performance management, and, where necessary, discipline and termination
- Foster a positive, healthy, and safe work environment
Finance
- Lead annual budget development in partnership with staff and the Board's Finance Committee
- Oversee all financial operations including expenditure approvals, bookkeeping standards, cash flow monitoring, and regulatory compliance
- Provide the Board with regular, comprehensive financial reporting
Fundraising & Community Relations
- Represent the financial needs of the organization to foundations, major donors, and churches
- Build and maintain strong relationships with funders, ministry partners, and stakeholder organizations
- Lead and expand local revenue-generating and fundraising activities
What We're Looking For
- A committed follower of Jesus Christ with demonstrated servant leadership character
- Proven experience in nonprofit or ministry leadership, ideally including board governance
- A track record in fundraising, donor relations, or church/ministry partnership development
- Strong communicator — in writing, in front of a congregation, and in a boardroom
- Experience managing people, including hiring, developing, and holding teams accountable
- Financial literacy sufficient to oversee budgets and report to a board
- Bachelor's degree in a relevant field; advanced degree or ministry credential is an asset
- Cross-cultural ministry or organizational experience is a strong asset
