About Phenix Advocacy Center (PAC)

Phenix Advocacy Center (PAC), a registered charity, exists to create a global community where canine professionals achieve wholeness and safety. We envision a world where exceptional, mission-driven talent is the driving force behind professional advocacy. We are the industry’s specialist sanctuary, providing the resilient foundation necessary for those who protect and care for dogs.

Key Responsibilities:

• Defensive Governance: Lead board meetings and ensure all actions protect PAC’s mission, intellectual assets, and legal standing.
• Strategic Scaling: Partner with the ED to implement a foundational strategic plan that ensures long-term autonomy.
• High-Productivity Culture: Foster a collaborative environment that capitalizes on board members' strengths while mediating complex disputes.
• Revenue & Growth: Identify and lead the pursuit of diversified revenue streams and corporate partnerships.

• Senior Leadership: Demonstrated experience in scaling organizations, finance, or HR.
• Mental Health Advocacy: A strong commitment to (or background in) wellbeing to support members facing burnout and crisis.
• Global & Risk-Conscious Mindset: A perspective that values diverse lived experience and deep knowledge of nonprofit risk management.
