Position Description

PURPOSE OF THE POSITION

The Director of Implementation is responsible for leading and executing complex, cross-functional integrations of individual Mission Thrift Store locations into the newly established Mission Thrift federal charity, as well as overseeing the reorganization of BFM Foundation corporate entities into the Mission Thrift charity structure. This role serves as the single point of accountability for planning, coordinating, and delivering each store integration from readiness through to full completion.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role requiring strong financial and legal acumen, exceptional attention to detail, and the ability to work collaboratively across Finance, Operations, People & Culture, Legal, and Store Leadership. The Director of Implementation translates strategic decisions into practical, repeatable execution—ensuring consistency, compliance, and care throughout the transition process.

While the initial focus of this role is the integration of stores into the charity, the Director of Implementation is designed to serve as an organizational implementation leader for other complex, enterprise-wide initiatives over time. The role reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer, works in close collaboration with the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer as required, and serves as a member of the National Lead Team, partnering with other Directors to support organizational alignment and execution.

In addition, the Director of Implementation will oversee and lead a small implementation team, providing direction, coordination, and oversight to ensure integration work is delivered effectively and at scale.
