Chief Executive Officer (Hope Services)

Overview

Hope Services has grown into the largest and most comprehensive provider of services for people with developmental disabilities and mental health needs in Silicon Valley. We support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities—including autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, epilepsy, and other conditions—as well as those with mental health challenges. Serving nine Bay Area counties, our programs span early intervention, employment and job training, behavioral health, residential services, and community connections. Hope also operates a portfolio of social enterprises (HopeTHRIFT retail stores, a large-scale recycling and reuse business, an auto donation program, and staffing solutions for regional employers).

About the Opportunity

The CEO will lead an agency with an annual budget of over $60 million and more than 900 employees across nine counties in Northern California.

The next CEO will assume leadership of an agency with many staff who have decades of service to Hope Services and the clients and families they serve. Building upon Hope’s excellent reputation, the CEO will lead with the board and staff, positioning Hope Services as a thought and advocacy leader for behavioral health and serving people with developmental disabilities at regional and state levels with national recognition as a long-term goal.

While funding for services for people with developmental and intellectual disabilities is stable at the state level, one of Hope’s strategic goals is to diversify and strengthen different revenue streams to lessen dependency on governmental funding. The CEO will spearhead this effort with the senior team and Board of Directors.

The CEO will play a pivotal role in Hope’s $3 million capital campaign and in implementing the strategic plan goals.

The CEO will oversee a complex organization and partner with the Chief Financial Officer, Vice President of Resource Development, Vice President of Human Resources, Vice President of IDD Programs and other direct reports to achieve the agency’s goals in services and finances while maintaining the high quality of care Hope Services is known for clients and families.
