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

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

Foster a high-performance culture rooted in initiative, accountability, and collaboration.
