ORGANIZATION SUMMARY

Crossroads Campus was founded in 2010 and is an IRS designated 501(c)(3) serving Nashville, Tennessee.  We are committed to improving the community and the world around us by bringing neglected animals and young people together to learn from each other and heal together. Our model pairs employment through social enterprise with affordable housing for young adults who have been impacted by inequity, time in foster care or other traumas. It also provides opportunities for young people to experience the healing power of the human-animal bond through caring for homeless dogs and cats, resulting in mutually nurturing relationships that enhance resilience, change behavior, and teach skills.

Do you have a desire to leverage your operations and strategic business expertise for greater community impact? Crossroads is seeking an experienced, energetic, visionary leader to oversee and grow its social enterprise portfolio. The role will afford an entrepreneurial minded and mission-driven individual the opportunity to grow our existing social enterprise businesses and to help plan for the growth and expansion of additional social enterprises. Reporting to the CEO, the Director of Social Enterprises (DSE) is responsible for oversight and management of the daily operations of the Crossroads retail store, grooming salon and pilot-scale bakery operations. Part of a growing organization, the DSE will assist the CEO with launching and scaling new social enterprises over the next year as a capital expansion project is finalized.
