Operations Director

Humane Society of Chittenden County

Job Description

The Humane Society of Chittenden County seeks an experienced candidate to join the leadership team of our 123-year-old growing organization!

HSCC is committed to the well-being of animals and their families - our mission is to ensure that every pet has a loving home and that every pet owner has access to the resources they need to give those pets happy, healthy lives. You would be joining a dedicated, passionate, and collaborative team in an environment that fosters compassion and empathy for all living things, and a workplace culture that supports this ethos.

HSCC rehomes over 1,300 animals a year and serves upwards of 30,000 people through our adoption center, community programs and services and our low-cost pet medical clinic. We seek candidates who have demonstrated operational management skills and a working knowledge of animal welfare best practices in a non-profit shelter setting.

The Operations Director (OD) oversees and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of HSCC's animal care, customer care, and community program & service activities. In collaboration with our operations team, CEO, and Medical Director, the OD will work to ensure that animals move through our system efficiently and that each animal receives the care it deserves during its stay. The OD will ensure that customer and client needs are met in an effective and professional manner. The OD position includes administrative and supervisory duties as well as hands-on shelter work (including direct animal care and handling) if needed. The OD is charged with keeping an eye on the "big picture" in an effort to ensure a high standard of care for our animals and our clients and a positive, respectful, and productive workplace culture for our staff.

We realize that our staff is our greatest asset, and we offer a competitive salary and a full benefit package including low-cost veterinary care.
