PeaceBridge Institute, a new initiative based at Menno Hall in Vancouver, invites applications for its inaugural Executive Director (“ED”). This is a rare opportunity to shape, lead, and grow a Centre dedicated to enhancing the capacity of MCC BC and like-minded aid and development organizations to further their capacity to meet basic human needs, advance development, and promote peace building.

The ED will serve as PeaceBridge’s founding leader visionary, builder, fundraiser, communicator, and administrator charged with launching a vibrant, faith-informed, practitioner-focused, and academically engaged hub for peace and development.

The successful candidate should bring a hybrid profile: grounded in applied field experience (e.g., NGO work, social entrepreneurship, humanitarian response), knowledgeable of scholarship or research (e.g., peace building, development studies, social sciences), and capable of building cross-sector bridges among academics, practitioners, churches, and community groups. This position uniquely bridges the academic and NGO sectors, helping to advance applied scholarship while remaining deeply rooted in field-based realities.

The ED will be a mission-driven founder with an entrepreneurial mindset who can operationalize a strategic vision, build sustainable programs, and lead with integrity in an Anabaptist faith-oriented setting.
