Primary Function: Rescue Management & Coordination / Overseeing Refuge Facilities
Direct Supervisor: Executive Director
Who We Are
At The Wild Animal Sanctuary, our work sits at the intersection of discipline and purpose.
This is not casual nonprofit work. Our operations demand precision, resilience, and accountability - paired with a deep commitment to animal welfare. If you combine the structure and execution of high-performance organizations with a mission rooted in service, you begin to understand what we do.
We are a team that shows up, solves problems, and delivers results - often under pressure, often in complex environments, and always with purpose.
The Role
The Chief Rescue & Programs Logistics Officer leads the planning, coordination, and execution of all rescue operations while supporting oversight of refuge facilities. This role operates as a strategic and operational partner to the Executive Director and is responsible for ensuring that every rescue mission is executed safely, legally, and effectively.
This is a hands-on leadership role—not a desk-only position. You will plan missions, manage logistics, coordinate with agencies, and deploy in the field when required.
Core Responsibilities
• Planning and end-to-end executing complex rescue operations (U.S. & international)
• Coordinating extensive logistics, personnel, permits, and transport under real-world constraints
• Ensuring compliance with regulatory bodies (USFWS, DOJ, USDA, CPW, etc.)
• Acting as the operational lead during active rescue missions
• Building and maintaining relationships with agencies, partners, and stakeholders
• Supporting oversight and coordination across multiple refuge facilities
• Creating, managing and curating both pre and post mission documentation, reporting, and after-action reviews
What This Role Requires
This position is best suited for individuals who:
• Operate with high accountability and ownership
• Can make sound decisions under pressure
• Are comfortable managing complex, moving operations
• Maintain professionalism in highly visible situations
• Are willing to travel frequently and work irregular hours
Minimum Qualifications
• 3–5+ years leading operations, logistics, or mission-critical work
• Bachelor’s degree
• Strong written and verbal communication and organizational skills
• Proficient with a wide range of computer software, including most of the Adobe Suite products, Microsoft Office and other office-centered data management and communication programs
• Valid U.S. passport and driver’s license
• Have no physical restrictions or limitations, and can lift 100 lbs.
• Have strong physical background with proven endurance
• Willingness to travel frequently, including internationally
Preferred Backgrounds
Candidates with experience in the following environments tend to succeed in this role:
• Large-scale logistics or operations management
• Nonprofit or animal welfare organizations
• Emergency response, disaster relief, or field operations
Military, law enforcement, or structured leadership environments
Who Performs Well in This Role
This role strongly aligns with backgrounds such as:
• Military logistics, operations, or command roles
• Law enforcement or federal agency coordination
• Emergency management / disaster response
• Large-scale field operations or project execution
• International law and federal and state animal transport regulations
Compensation & Benefits
• Starting salary: $120,000 annually
• Medical, dental, and vision benefits after 60 days
Why This Role Matters
Every rescue we conduct changes the trajectory of an animal’s life.
This role is central to making that happen—ensuring that missions are not only successful, but executed with integrity, precision, and care.
If you’re looking for a position where your work directly translates into real-world impact—and you’re willing to meet the demands that come with it—this is that role.
