Ride Connection is looking to contract with either a Business or a Business Leader (“Contractor”) to start a Non-Profit, Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) Ambulance Company (“Ambulance Company”). This would involve the initial conception of how a new non-profit ambulance service can address the community in the Portland, Oregon Tri-county region in a financially sustainable way. This would begin with consulting to establish an ambulance company, with the potential to transition into a full-time leadership position responsible for strategically guiding the operation for its growth. The Contractor will be responsible for supporting Ride Connection’s Executive Leadership, Senior Project Manager, and Policy Analyst in creating a robust business case, identifying solutions for potential financial sustainability barriers, and helping develop a comprehensive business implementation plan to present to the Board of Directors for approval. The Contractor will provide guidance to help the Project Manager and Ride Connection implement the business plan once approved. Additionally, this role will foster a positive and productive work environment, inspire and support staff, build strategic partnerships with local agencies and transportation network stakeholders, and support the Policy Analyst’s coalition efforts. Ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations is essential.
