Goodwill of the Olympics and Rainier Region (GORR) is one of the most dynamic and impactful nonprofit organizations in the Pacific Northwest -- and one of the largest regional Goodwill organizations in the United States. At its heart, GORR is in the business of human potential. Every day, people arrive seeking more than a job--they seek confidence, stability, purpose, and the opportunity to build a better future. They come from different backgrounds and circumstances, but they share a common desire: the chance to move forward. Through workforce development, skills training, education, career pathways, and a deep network of community partnerships, Goodwill helps thousands of individuals each year transform possibility into progress. The impact ripples far beyond any one person, strengthening families, employers, neighborhoods, and communities across the region. For more than a century, Goodwill has been a trusted catalyst for opportunity, proving that when people are given the tools, support, and belief they deserve, remarkable things can happen.

With approximately $90 million in annual revenue, 1,300 employees, nearly $150 million in total assets, and 30 retail locations serving 15 counties in parts of Western, Southwestern, and Central Washington, GORR is both a thriving social enterprise and an essential community institution. What makes GORR truly exceptional is the depth and ambition of its workforce development work. Beyond retail, GORR operates a licensed vocational training school, four Work Opportunity Centers, and the Digital Work Opportunity Center, a scalable platform delivering digital skills training across the region to support a growing eCommerce enterprise. Last year, GORR served 3,219 people with a full range of free education, job placement, and career pathway services, and kept 50 million pounds of donated goods out of landfills through its sustainability-minded operations.

At the heart of everything GORR does is a deep and active commitment to antiracism, equity, diversity, and inclusion. This is not aspirational language -- it is a living, operational commitment that shapes how GORR serves its communities, builds its teams, and pursues its mission. GORR's strategic mission is to grow workforce development programs to reach more people furthest from opportunity, and in order to do so, it focuses on strengthening retail and new social enterprise revenue, investing in staff and culture, and building the regional partnerships needed for lasting impact.

The President & Chief Executive Officer (CEO) serves as the chief executive and general manager of Goodwill of the Olympics and Rainier Region, accountable to the Board of Directors for the overall leadership, strategic direction, operational performance, and financial sustainability of the organization.
