International Justice Mission (IJM) Canada is part of a global organization dedicated to
protecting people in poverty from violence. Working in partnership with local
authorities around the world, IJM rescues victims, brings criminals to justice,
restores survivors, and strengthens justice systems to ensure lasting
protection. With more than 1,200 professionals across 30+ offices globally, IJM
addresses trafficking and slavery, violence against women and children, and
other forms of exploitation.
From its Canadian office, IJM Canada plays a critical role in advancing this global
mission by mobilizing resources, building national awareness, and engaging a
diverse network of partners. As IJM works toward its bold goal of protecting
500 million people from violence, IJM Canada is entering a new phase of growth
and is seeking a Chief Executive Officer to lead that charge. The CEO
will scale revenue and partnerships across the country, strengthen IJM Canada’s
presence and influence, and inspire governments, businesses, faith communities,
and donors to invest in and champion a proven model for ending violence at
scale.
Reporting to a national Board of Directors, the CEO provides overall strategic, operational,
and organizational leadership. The CEO will guide the development and execution
of a clear growth strategy, working directly with IJM Global to advance shared
priorities while shaping a distinct and effective Canadian approach. In
partnership with the leadership team, the CEO will strengthen fundraising
performance, deepen donor engagement, and expand IJM Canada’s visibility,
advocacy efforts, and partnerships across the country. Internally, the CEO will
build a cohesive and high-performing team, strengthen systems and processes,
and position the organization to sustain growth. As the organization’s
principal representative in Canada, the CEO will serve as a compelling
spokesperson, clearly communicating IJM’s mission and impact to donors,
partners, and stakeholders.
As the ideal candidate, you bring a personal and authentic Christian faith, aligned with
IJM’s values and mission. You are a strategic and values-driven leader with
experience operating in complex, multi-stakeholder environments. You bring a
track record of driving growth and leading organizations or functions through
scale or transformation. You are comfortable leading in a context where revenue
generation is central to mission success and, while not required to be a
technical fundraising expert, you are at ease engaging with major donors and
funding partners. You are a strong communicator and storyteller, with the
ability to inspire confidence and build relationships across diverse audiences.
You are an engaging and credible leader who can align teams, build trust, and
foster a high-performing organizational culture. You bring sound financial and
operational judgment, along with experience working closely with a Board of
Directors.
IJM Canada is seeking an exceptional, visionary leader, driven by the belief that change is
possible, to serve as its Chief Executive Officer. This is a rare opportunity
to shape the future of a dynamic organization, mobilizing Canada as a driving
force in the global movement to end violence against people living in poverty.
