CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, DEPAUL USA

Depaul USA is a dynamic, faith-inspired national nonprofit on a mission to end homelessness and change lives. Founded in 2009 as part of the global Depaul International Group, the organization launched its first program in Philadelphia serving 60 men. Today, from its Chicago headquarters, Depaul USA operates in 12 cities, runs 27 programs, and impacts more than 7,600 individuals each year.  The organization is governed by a dedicated 14-member Board of Directors, has a combined capital and operating budget of $11.6M, 140 (70 FTEs) and a corps of volunteers. 

Rooted in the Vincentian values of compassion, dignity, and practical action, Depaul USA offers a continuum of care—from supportive and affordable housing to day programs, medical respite, and social enterprise. In 2024, Depaul USA served over 99,444 meals, helped 124 people secure employment, and moved 208 individuals into permanent housing. Every program is designed to break the cycle of homelessness by improving health, economic stability, and long-term housing security.

We are seeking a mission-driven leader who will be an exceptional fundraiser and able to pivot when opportunities arise.  The person selected for the role will be responsible for creating and managing budgets, setting financial priorities, and diversifying Depaul USA’s funding over time to fuel continued success and growth.  Qualified candidates will demonstrate the ability to run a business, lead and coalesce geographically dispersed teams, and serve as the lead brand ambassador as the face of the organization. This individual will have innovative ideas and will bring best practice on serving the unhoused. Successful relationship building and management skills are critical competencies in fulfilling the stated objectives for this position. An inclusive, collaborative leader, with the ability to articulate and build consensus around major initiatives is imperative.  The person we seek have experience reporting to or working with a nonprofit board.
