· Passion for mission-driven work and community impact.

Preferred

· Master’s degree in public administration, nonprofit management, business, or related field.

· Experience with Colorado’s CMA/CCB systems and applicable regulations.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Direct impact on individuals and families in the Larimer County, CO, community.

• Opportunity to shape strategy, policy, and future growth.

If you’re a leader who can navigate complexity while staying grounded in mission, we want to hear from you.
