About Four Pillars Community Housing

Four Pillars Community Housing is a social‑purpose development consultancy movement‑builder easing Canada’s housing crisis through gentle density—ADUs, Multiplexes, and Interim Residences that add homes without erasing neighbourhood character. Our REALTOR®‑led training, Indigenous partnerships, and community‑bond financing model positions us to scale impact across British Columbia and beyond.

The Opportunity

Our Board seeks a mission‑driven CEO to turn our proven concept into a Canada‑wide force for inclusive housing. You will execute the vision, secure capital, build a small high‑performing team, and steward partnerships that enable thousands of new homes.

What You’ll Do

• Lead & scale — Shape and execute a multi‑year strategic plan; grow the organization from start‑up to province‑wide operations, with expansion to Ontario by Q1 2026.
• Mobilize capital — Raise $200 K–$500 K from impact investors and other sources.
• Drive projects — Support modular supply chains and permitting for small‑scale multi‑unit developments under Bill 44. Launch and execute the I Invest In Housing Campaign. Lead the development of a model for Non Profit Housing Development Corporations.
• Champion community — Guide Community Housing Ambassador training, public engagement, and NIMBY‑resistant messaging while embedding UNDRIP principles in every initiative.
• Build culture — Recruit, coach, and inspire a multidisciplinary team while upholding strong governance, risk management, and impact‑measurement practices.

What You Bring

• Proven scale‑up leadership — Several years of senior experience leading a social‑purpose or real‑estate venture from early stage to sustained success.
• Capital‑raising expertise — Demonstrated success securing philanthropy, government funding, and private impact capital.
• Sector fluency — Deep understanding of small‑scale multi‑unit housing, pro‑forma modelling, and BC planning policy (zoning, density bonuses, inclusionary housing).
• Partnership mindset — Track record of brokering multi‑party deals and maintaining high‑trust relationships with developers, municipalities, and Indigenous communities. Embrace Four Pillars community-centric vision.
• Inclusive, servant leadership — Empowers diverse teams and stakeholders; communicates complex ideas with clarity and empathy.

Nice‑to‑have: experience structuring community‑bond or RRSP‑eligible offerings; bilingualism; lived experience in communities most impacted by the housing crisis.

Why Join Us

• Shape a bold, systems‑level solution to the housing crisis from the ground floor.
• Collaborate with a supportive Board and network of mission‑aligned partners.
• Earn competitive equity compensation with performance‑based incentives tied to measurable outcomes.
• Thrive in a flexible, hybrid work culture rooted in trust, transparency, and continuous learning.

Compensation

We recognise that building Four Pillars Community Housing is a marathon, not a sprint, and we want our CEO to share in the long‑term value we create together.

• Initial engagement — Commit 10–12 hours per week for the first six months and receive 5 % founding equity (shares or options, subject to standard vesting).
• Optional equity purchase — As outlined in our business plan, you may acquire an additional 15 % stake for $150,000 during this initial period.
• Path to full‑time leadership — At six months, if both you and the Board agree we’re the right fit, we’ll negotiate a comprehensive package that may include further equity and a market‑competitive salary tied to performance milestones.

This structure lets us move quickly today while ensuring you participate meaningfully in our growth and impact.

A successful CEO at Four Pillars will blend the skills of a social‑impact developer, community‑finance rainmaker, and movement‑builder.
