About the role

Guiding Eyes for the Blind is seeking a Director of Canine Development Operations to lead the Canine Development Center, overseeing breeding, whelping, kennel management, and welfare programs. You will set SOPs, manage budgets, and drive cross-functional collaboration with veterinary, training, and volunteer teams. The role requires 7+ years of leadership in animal care or nonprofit settings, a related degree, and a commitment to excellence in canine welfare.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
