As one of Ohio's largest non-profit agencies committed to children, Positive Education Program (PEP) provides services, both direct and consultative, for children challenged by complex developmental trauma, mental health issues and autism, their families and the professionals who support them. PEP is committed to understanding and overcoming the significant trauma and chronic stress experienced by many of the youth we serve. Anchored in the time-tested philosophy of Re-EDucation, PEP's family-centered programming is designed to identify and build upon the existing strengths of children, all within therapeutic and supportive environments rooted in trauma-informed practice and the science of brain development. The agency is also a Phase II certified Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT) site through the Neurosequential Network TM.

The next CEO of Positive Education Program will have the unique opportunity to lead and grow this respected, multi-program organization forward into even greater levels of service, visibility and impact. This leader will be a champion for Northeast Ohio's most vulnerable children and young people. The CEO will serve as the face and ambassador of the organization and will also provide clear vision, inspiration and increased visibility to elevate child well-being with both organizational stakeholders and the Greater Cleveland community. Heightened external awareness of PEP's services and reach will further expand opportunities to serve and to support the most vulnerable children, youth and families of Ohio.

Reporting to the Board of Directors, the CEO is responsible for working collaboratively with the Board of Directors, providing overall leadership of the organization and ensuring the implementation of PEP's strategic framework (mission, vision, values and strategic direction) across programmatic, financial and administrative operations of the agency. The CEO will communicate effectively with the Board to assist with the establishment and implementation of the agency's goals, policies and financial structure. This leader will collaborate with and guide the senior team to continue implementing and operationalizing the strategic plan while ensuring that the budget, staff and priorities are aligned with the agency's mission. The CEO and the senior team are responsible for the continuous improvement of quality, profitability and growth by effectively responding to marketplace changes and opportunities in a timely way to ensure that the agency's business changes are implemented and realized to full potential.
