About the Role

The Company is in search of a Managing Director to join its leadership team and play a pivotal role in stewarding the organization's strategy, culture, and impact. This newly created position is ideal for a values-aligned, collaborative, and strategic leader who can add expertise and capacity to the team. The successful candidate will be responsible for translating Board-approved strategy into cohesive goals, nurturing a high-performing team culture, and managing a leaderful team. Critical tasks for the Managing Director include annual and strategic planning, strategy integration across program areas, and overseeing communications and stakeholder engagement. The role demands a seasoned team leader with a deep commitment to equity and justice, and a leadership presence grounded in humility, integrity, curiosity, and care.

The Managing Director will work closely with the President, serving as a trusted advisor and thought partner, and will be instrumental in the organization's movement-centered philanthropy. The ideal candidate will be comfortable in a shared leadership model, with a strong sense of self, and will be adept at thinking at a macro, systems, and organizational level. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys managing, coaching, and developing a team, and who is passionate about the mission of the organization, which includes partnering with frontline, BIPOC-led organizations to transform the criminal justice system and advance environmental, climate, and gender justice. The role is a key position in the organization, and the Managing Director will be expected to have a significant impact on the company's work and its relationships with external partners.
