Associate Director

SUMMARY OF POSITION

Amirah, Inc is a trauma-informed faith-driven nonprofit serving women who have experienced sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation.

The Associate Director is a strategic, high-impact leader who serves as the second-in-command to the Executive Director. This role bridges the gap between vision and execution, overseeing daily operations, optimizing programmatic impact, and managing a dedicated team of care professionals. The ideal candidate is a seasoned leader with a deep, active faith, an operations mindset, and a profound commitment to trauma-informed care. You will ensure our programming operates with structural excellence, financial stewardship, and spiritual integrity. The Associate Director models Gospel-living and excellence in service provision from a trauma-informed faith lens. While Amirah operates as a Christian organization, it does not require a profession of faith or participation in any faith activities from any of its clients, volunteers, or interns and is respectful of all faith backgrounds.

You should apply if…

• • You believe in the dignity of all human lives, no matter the color of your skin, your faith, your gender, your sexuality, or anything else. Dignity is deserved because all human beings exist in the image of God.
  • You are a skilled empathetic people manager who enjoys building strong and balanced teams to achieve collective goals, and fostering a collaborative growth culture
  • You’re excited about the challenge of building deeply intentional processes towards a more diverse, equitable and racially just community
