CURRENT OPPORTUNITIES

Chief Executive Officer - Rainbow Railroad

Right now, there are more forcibly displaced people in the world than at any other time in recorded history, with LGBTQI+ individuals particularly impacted. In over 60 countries, same-sex intimacy remains criminalized, leaving countless lives in jeopardy. Queer and trans refugees are uniquely vulnerable to state-sponsored homophobia and transphobia. Rainbow Railroad stands at the forefront of the global movement to advance and protect the human rights of LGBTQI+ people wherever they are in the world. With a focus on helping those most vulnerable find safety from persecution and violence, Rainbow Railroad is internationally recognized for its work in providing support and resettlement assistance to individuals in some of the most anti-LGBTQI+ locations, with the ultimate goal of a world where LGBTQI+ people are free to live with dignity and without fear of persecution based on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, or sex characteristics (SOGIESC).

Based in Toronto, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), reporting to a Board of Directors, has overall responsibility for Rainbow Railroad’s programs, staff, and the implementation of its strategic plan. The CEO will lead an organization that has experienced rapid growth and will map a way forward that is sustainable, secure and impactful. Working with a dedicated Leadership Team and staff, the CEO will review the strategic plan ensuring it aligns opportunities with resources, while building the trust of a committed team. The CEO is a spokesperson for the organization and a global ambassador - working with global partners and stakeholders (governments, agencies, donors, LGBTQI+ rights defenders, the media) to ensure Rainbow Railroad works collaboratively to deliver on its mission of helping at-risk LGBTQI+ people get to safety.

Rainbow Railroad is seeking an exceptional leader at this critical time in the movement. The ideal candidate will bring leadership and governance experience, ideally in a nonprofit environment of similar scope and scale that has experienced rapid growth. You have a track record of empowering a diverse group of people from many cultural backgrounds. With outstanding relationship skills, you are an exceptional communicator, and possess the ability to tell Rainbow Railroad’s stories in a compelling way - impacting donors, policy makers, and the broader public. An appreciation of grass roots activism and exposure to LGBTQI+ equality, human rights, and/or refugee forced resettlement, asylum movements, will be important to success - as will your diplomatic and political skills. With a passion for the mission of Rainbow Railroad, your personal and professional journey has prepared you to be a champion for a global LGBTQI+ organization whose programs, services and assistance are needed now more than ever.
