Employment Opportunities
Managing Director (part-time, contract)
The Vinalhaven Community Development Partnership (VHCDP) is seeking applications from qualified individuals who have experience in community-based nonprofits as well as expertise and a keen interest in community development and business support.
VHCDP was established in 2023-2024 as a nonprofit organization, and is focused on supporting Vinalhaven as a resilient community through strategies focused on small business support, economic diversification, workforce training and education, and enhancing community resources. The VHCDP board of directors has completed strategic planning and identified an initial scope of work. Information about VHCDP’s organization and areas of focus is available at vhcdp.org.
The VHCDP board is now seeking a Managing Director to provide the organization with nonprofit management, program development, and related services related to community development. The successful candidate is expected to initially provide this support on a part-time basis. The initial contract period will be one year with the option to renew; the VHCDP board is looking to build a long-term relationship with the right person to eventually serve as a full-time Managing Director. The initial contract amount will be determined by a combination of experience and scope of work. Work may be performed remotely, but some in-person time will be required.
