The Society of St. Vincent de Paul of St. Louis, a Catholic lay organization with more than 180 years of service, is seeking a mission-driven, faith-filled Chief Executive Officer to guide our Council into the future.

Spiritual Depth – a faith-filled leader who embodies Vincentian spirituality.

Visionary Leadership – a strategic thinker who honors tradition and pursues growth.

Fundraising Leadership – a revenue generator who inspires generosity and engages donors and partners to strengthen the mission.

Relational Strength – a collaborator who unifies Vincentians, staff, and partners.

Operational and Financial Acumen – a skilled manager of programs, stores, and resources.

Servant Leadership – a compassionate presence who lifts others up. K

Compensation: Starting salary range is $185,000 – $200,000.
