Overview Join Our Team as Vice President, Organizational Development, Pacific Region!

With significant travel, up to 70%, this role offers a unique opportunity to be deeply connected to the field, building trusted relationships on the ground and shaping the future of youth-serving organizations across the region.

Responsibilities The Opportunity The Vice President, Organizational Development, Pacific Region serves as the maestro of a vast and dynamic system, balancing vision with execution, autonomy with accountability, and innovation with operational discipline. Reporting to the Senior Vice President, Organizational Development, this leader will set the direction for how Clubs across the Pacific region grow stronger, more sustainable, and more impactful, while honoring the unique cultural, geographic, and community contexts they serve. This role represents the newness of what’s possible for the Pacific region: scaling what works, modernizing how support is delivered, and elevating leadership capacity across Boards, CEOs, and senior teams. The VP will lead through influence rather than control, inspiring confidence, alignment, and momentum across a diverse landscape that includes major urban centers, Native communities, rural regions, and emerging growth markets. What’s Exciting about this Role: This leader will step into a region supported by a highly capable and committed team with deep strengths by design. The Pacific Field Operations team brings a breadth of expertise across financial acumen, resource development, executive leadership, and organizational strategy. With a blend of internal and external perspectives, the team has helped Clubs accelerate growth and strengthen organizational capabilities, and is ready to take that impact to the next level. What You’ll Lead At the highest level, this executive will: • Act as the chief enterprise leader for the Pacific region, serving as BGCA’s primary strategic partner to local CEOs, Boards, and senior leadership teams. • Translate national strategy into regional impact, ensuring alignment while respecting local autonomy. • Build and lead a high-performing regional leadership team, holding leaders accountable for outcomes without micromanagement, and creating clarity around priorities, commitments, and results. • Scale organizational capacity across governance, executive leadership, talent, programs, and resource development, taking strong foundations to the next level of sophistication and sustainability. • Drive revenue and resource diversification, partnering across BGCA to strengthen philanthropic, governmental, and market-specific funding strategies. • Serve as a trusted advisor in moments that matter most, including CEO transitions, board transformation, critical incidents, and organizational crises. • Champion outcomes and data-driven decision-making, ensuring Clubs are equipped to deliver high-quality, outcome-focused experiences aligned to BGCA’s Formula for Impact. • Advance strategic growth, including new Club sites, mergers, shared services, and management agreements, with a long-range view of regional expansion and sustainability. • Protect and elevate the BGCA brand, serving as a visible ambassador for the Movement and an advocate for children, families, and communities across the Pacific region. Leadership Style and Measures of Success Success in this role requires a leader who establishes clear direction, builds shared ownership for outcomes, and reinforces accountability through trust, transparency, and disciplined operating rhythms, remaining actively engaged at the moments that matter most. This leader leans in with intention and respect to remove obstacles, elevate performance, and ensure commitments deliver real, measurable impact. In the first 6 - 12 months, this leader will navigate a complex and often divisive external environment, balancing stability with momentum while guiding organizations through peaks and valleys. Key priorities include accelerating growth across both rural and urban markets, strengthening organizational capabilities, and expanding resource development in close partnership with Clubs across all communities. Success will be measured by progress against BGCA’s strategic priorities, continued strengthening of local organizational capacity, and the ongoing evolution and effectiveness of the regional leadership team. Core competencies for this role include focus, effective communication, empowerment through delegation, resilience, and agility, paired with the vision to capitalize on opportunities, reenter markets, and grow existing ones. Above all, this leader inspires excitement and confidence in the future, particularly during periods of change, growth, or increased expectations, while fostering a culture grounded in trust, partnership, and shared ownership within a highly matrixed, mission-driven environment. Qualifications The Leader We’re Looking For This role calls for a seasoned, solutions-oriented executive who has operated successfully at scale, and understands how to lead complex, multi-site organizations through influence rather than hierarchy. You are someone who: • Has led $5M+ organizations with multiple locations, complex governance structures, and diverse revenue streams. • Understands scale, not just growth, but the systems, discipline, and leadership required to sustain it. • Is both visionary and pragmatic, able to articulate where the region must go and chart a credible, disciplined path to get there. • Has built revenue in multiple ways and understands how funding strategy, brand, and impact intersect. • Knows how to move people forward, even when it requires healthy tension, clear expectations, and difficult conversations. • Brings cultural fluency and regional insight, with a deep appreciation for the Pacific region’s diversity, urban, rural, Native, and multicultural communities alike. • Leads with confidence, humility, and accountability, energizing teams around what’s next while holding them responsible for what they’ve committed to deliver. Additional Qualifications In addition to the leadership capabilities outlined above, successful candidates will bring the following qualifications: • A bachelor’s degree in business, accounting, social services, education, or a related field is required. • Eight to ten years of progressive experience leading, managing, and operating a Boys & Girls Club or a comparable mission-driven, multi-site organization. • Demonstrated success partnering with Boards of Directors, strengthening governance, advancing resource development strategies, and leading, developing, and retaining high-performing teams. • Strong facility with modern business and communication tools, including Microsoft Word, Outlook, internet-based research, and web-enabled applications, with the ability to operate effectively while traveling or working from remote locations.
