Job Description

About the Role

Are you a self-starter who thrives on autonomy, drives projects forward and produces

results that speak for themselves? Connections for Seniors is looking for a

motivated, entrepreneurial, high energy leader to take ownership of our social

enterprise division and transform great ideas into high-impact results.

Reporting to the Chief Operations Officer (COO), the Manager of Social Enterprise will

lead and grow a diverse portfolio of mission-aligned business initiatives--including the

First Point Event Centre, Rock Meals, Shovel & Mow, and our upcoming Grocery

Delivery Service.

This role is ideal for someone who excels in independent, purpose-driven work and

takes initiative. We're looking for someone who can set direction, solve problems

independently, and lead with both confidence and compassion. You'll have the support

of a dedicated team, but the results--and the leadership--are yours to own.

Business Development & Partnerships*
Proactively build relationships with funders, suppliers, local businesses, and community organizations. Lead marketing and promotion of enterprise services. Identify and pursue grants and funding opportunities.

Team & People Management*
Recruit, train, and lead a small team of staff, interns, and contractors. Foster a high-performance culture rooted in initiative, accountability, and collaboration.

Financial Oversight*
Take ownership of budgeting, forecasting, and revenue reporting for all enterprises. Ensure financial sustainability and mission alignment across all business units. Deliver timely and accurate reports to leadership and funders.

Qualifications
