Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)

The Company is seeking a Chief Administrative Officer to build and strengthen the systems that support organizational growth. The role translates executive strategy into measurable work plans, coordinates priorities across leadership teams, and removes barriers to execution. Responsibilities include leading human resources, overseeing hiring compliance and employee relations, shaping compensation and performance processes, and managing grant and contract workflows. The CAO will also develop systems for measuring program outcomes and funder reporting, and establish an organization-wide policy review schedule. Clinical staff and clinical decisions remain outside the scope of this role. Candidates should have a bachelor’s degree in business administration, public administration, nonprofit management, or a related field, along with either five years as a COO or CAO or at least 10 years in a comparable executive role; seven years of progressively responsible leadership experience is also required. Experience overseeing HR and/or functions such as finance, facilities, or compliance is expected, as is working knowledge of nonprofit operations, grant and contract compliance, and regulatory requirements. Strong leadership, communication, organizational skills, sound judgment, and proficiency with standard office, financial, and HR systems are essential. Experience supporting a CEO or other senior executive as a chief of staff, senior advisor, or similar is preferred.
