Director, Catalytic

The Opportunity 

Power to Change is at a defining moment. 

As we step more fully into our calling to fuel the next generation of evangelism, the ability to discern, catalyse, and scale new expressions of mission will be critical to realizing our vision. The Director, Catalytic plays a central role in that future. 

This is not a traditional operational leadership role. It is a catalytic mandate to identify and advance high-impact opportunities that mobilize 10,000+ Communities on Mission across Canada and beyond. 

This leader operates at the intersection of vision, relationships, and execution—discerning where God is moving, mobilizing others toward it, and helping translate emerging ideas into initiatives that can grow, multiply, and endure. 

The Director will: 

• Identify and prioritize high-leverage opportunities for mission growth 

• Cultivate strategic partnerships that extend reach and influence 

• Champion disciplined innovation across the organization 

• Guide initiatives from ideation through to execution and multiplication 

This is a rare opportunity to help shape the future of evangelistic movement in Canada—by unlocking what does not yet exist. 

About Power to Change 

Power to Change’s vision is to be a Hub of Evangelism for the next generation—catalysing 10,000+ Communities on Mission across Canada and to the world over the next 5+ years. 

This vision builds on a core mission that has remained unchanged since our earliest days: to catalyse, equip, and support communities of believers to live on mission and make Jesus known—especially among those the body of Christ is not currently reaching. 

For nearly 60 years, Power to Change has been a catalytic force for evangelism in Canada. Today, we engage across five key mission contexts—students, sport, leaders, families, and global—supported by catalytic expressions that enable innovation and new models of mission. 

We are a national movement of over 450 staff, mobilising thousands of believers, and stewarding an annual budget of nearly $40 million. 

What lies ahead will require a renewed vision and bold rethinking of how we mobilize the body of Christ to God’s mission—fueling a movement that is multiplying, Spirit-led, and reaching far beyond our current impact. 

Leadership 

Reporting to the Chief of Staff, the Director serves on a national leadership team comprised of the leaders of Power to Change’s core mission contexts, contributing to the advancement of the organization’s overall mission through shared vision, strategy, and execution. 

This includes: 

• Contributing to national innovation, discernment and organizational priorities 

• Identifying and advancing high-impact opportunities aligned with P2C’s vision 

• Strengthening alignment and collaboration across mission contexts and initiatives 

• Representing Power to Change in key national conversations and partnerships 

This role carries both national leadership responsibility and catalytic influence. 

The Mandate 

Flowing from this national leadership responsibility, the Director of Catalytic leads the innovation, development, and advancement of high-impact initiatives that accelerate Power to Change’s effectiveness as a Hub of Evangelism. 

This work centres on four interconnected priorities: 

• Strategic Innovation & Direction 

  Identify and prioritize high-impact opportunities that advance the vision of catalysing 10,000+ Communities on Mission—establishing clear criteria for experimentation, scaling, and integration, and providing strategic insight to senior leadership. 

• Innovation & Movement Development 

  Champion a culture of courageous, disciplined experimentation—encouraging and refining emerging ideas, and guiding decisions to advance, adapt, scale, or conclude initiatives based on impact and alignment. 

• Partnership & Ecosystem Development 

  Cultivate strategic relationships with churches, networks, and national partners—expanding distribution pathways and strengthening the ecosystem required for Communities on Mission to flourish across diverse contexts. 

• Organizational Integration & Stewardship 

  Ensure catalytic initiatives are aligned with the strengths and direction of existing ministries—supporting execution through project leadership, stewarding key resources, and strengthening systems that enable clarity, sustainability, and multiplication. 

What Success Looks Like 

In the first 2–3 years, success in this role will be evident in: 

• Clear organizational focus around high-impact opportunities aligned to the 10,000+ Communities on Mission vision 

• A growing portfolio of catalytic initiatives being advanced, with clear decisions to scale, integrate, adapt, or conclude 

• A strengthened culture of disciplined innovation across Power to Change 

• Strategic partnerships and distribution pathways that significantly extend national evangelistic reach 

• Increased organizational clarity and coherence, with ministries experiencing catalytic work as strengthening—not fragmenting—the whole 

The Leader We’re Looking For 

We are seeking a leader who sees what could be—and helps bring it into reality. 

This person will be: 

• A deeply committed follower of Jesus, grounded in prayer and aligned with the mission of Power to Change 

• A strategic and discerning thinker, able to identify high-leverage opportunities and focus effort where it matters most 

• A visionary and adaptive leader, able to navigate and innovate within rapidly evolving digital, technology, and cultural landscapes to advance mission impact. 

• A catalytic leader who mobilizes others—inside and outside the organization—and helps build movements that extend far beyond their own leadership. 

• A collaborative and externally minded leader, able to build strategic alliances and partnerships that accelerate innovation, expand reach, and amplify mission impact. 

• Relationally wise and trusted across diverse leaders, ministries, and partners 

• Courageous and clear, able to make difficult decisions for the sake of focus and impact 

They bring: 

• Significant senior leadership experience in Kingdom-minded initiatives, innovation environments, or complex strategic initiatives. 

• A track record of launching or advancing initiatives that have scaled or multiplied 

• Proven ability to build strategic alliances and partnerships across organizations, sectors, or networks to accelerate mission impact 

• Demonstrated contribution to senior leadership, organizational direction, and strategic decision-making 

Why This Role Matters 

Power to Change’s vision to catalyse 10,000+ Communities on Mission will require more than strengthening what already exists—it will require discovering and advancing what does not yet exist. 

The Director, Catalytic will ensure that: 

• High-potential opportunities are identified and pursued with clarity and courage 

• Innovation is disciplined, aligned, and focused on real impact 

• The organization functions as a unified and effective Hub of Evangelism 

This is a rare opportunity to help shape the future of evangelistic movement in Canada—by catalysing the ideas, partnerships, and initiatives that will define what comes next.
