As the Commissionaires approach their 100th anniversary in 2025, this is a pivotal moment to lead a respected, not-for-profit organization with a powerful social mission-providing meaningful employment for veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, their families, and others dedicated to serving the security and well-being of Canadians.

With a strong foundation as the leading provider of physical security services in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, the Commissionaires are committed to diversity, excellence, and social impact.

• Building strategic partnerships at the executive level to identify competitive advantages and unlock new business avenues.
• Overseeing the allocation of resources (financial, human, technological) to support business development efforts.
• Creating an environment that fosters innovation, enabling the business development team to explore new ways to meet client needs, expand service offerings, and differentiate the company from competitors.
• Advising and collaborating with the Board to ensure alignment with governance best practices.

What We Are Looking For:

• Strong understanding of nonprofit governance, board relations, and regulatory compliance.
• Results oriented leader with the ability to motivate and develop a high-performing team.
• Strong ability to develop business relationships at the executive level.
• Focus on growth, collaboration, continuous improvement, and innovation.
• Exceptional communicator with the confidence, conviction, and enthusiasm to inspire others.
• Competence in both English and French is an asset.
