Job Description

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.

Amani Family Services is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity, inclusion, and the communities we serve.
