Are you a mission-driven leader with financial savvy, community presence, and strategic vision to guide a thriving nonprofit through its next chapter? Amani Family Services — a Fort Wayne organization with deep roots serving immigrant and refugee families — is searching for an exceptional CEO ready to lead with purpose, build for the future, and champion a team that does extraordinarily meaningful work.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
• Set and drive a meaningful strategic plan for the organization — a recognized priority and an immediate opportunity for impact.
• Ensure financial sustainability for a ~$2M organization, navigating a complex mix of government grants, foundation funding, and contributed revenue in a challenging funding environment.
• Serve as the external face and storyteller for Amani — cultivating relationships with elected officials, business leaders, donors, and the broader community.
• Protect and strengthen a strong, people-first organizational culture built on trust, empowerment, and genuine connection to the communities Amani serves.
• Report to and work collaboratively with an engaged Board of Directors on governance, fundraising, and organizational vision.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
• 7–10 years of progressive leadership experience.
• Strong financial acumen, including familiarity with grant compliance, fund accounting, and nonprofit budget management.
• Bachelor’s degree required; master’s degree preferred.
• Demonstrated fundraising ability and the instinct to tell an organization’s story in a way that moves people to act.
• Experience in nonprofit management, preferably with government-funded programming.
• A community builder — visible, respected, and effective at establishing relationships that matter.
WHAT WILL SET YOU APART
• A genuine alignment with Amani’s mission and the work of serving immigrant and refugee communities is a meaningful plus.
• Familiarity with Allen County’s nonprofit and human services landscape.
• Experience managing complex, multi-source government funding (federal and/or state).
• A leadership style defined by humility, authenticity, and the ability to earn trust across diverse backgrounds.
Ready to Lead with Purpose?
This is more than a leadership role — it’s an opportunity to anchor a community, sustain work that changes lives, and carry forward a legacy built by people who believed deeply in the families they serve. If that speaks to you, we’d love to hear from you.
We are seeking local or commutable candidates; relocation is not provided.
Full job description available upon request.
