About Us
The Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability (SDSS) strives to create a future where humans and nature thrive in concert and in perpetuity. The school is made up of a three-part structure to drive global impact: Our academic departments and programs educate students and create new knowledge across areas of research that are crucial for advancing the long-term prosperity of the planet; Institutes bridge scholarship at Stanford and beyond, bringing multiple viewpoints to bear on urgent challenges; The Sustainability Accelerator drives new policy and technology solutions through a worldwide network of partners who work with our teams to develop solutions at a global scale. The school is dedicated to creating and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment, and to creating solutions that benefit all people, particularly those most affected by environmental damage and climate change.
The SDSS Sustainability Accelerator seeks a full-time Managing Director to lead Flagship Destination programs in the areas of Food and Biological Sciences. Flagship Destinations are ambitious and aspirational goals that have the potential for impactful solutions on a global scale. Under the general direction of Accelerator Faculty Director Yi Cui and Executive Director Charlotte Pera, the Managing Director will lead the development and implementation of the Flagship Destination's vision, strategy, and goals. Responsibilities will include working with faculty and other internal and external leaders to define the landscape, whitespaces, and barriers in the flagship destination; overseeing the grantmaking process and providing ongoing support and active project management; and driving scale and impact through partnerships, guidance, and resource augmentation to Accelerator-funded research teams.
The Managing Director will also develop Stanford’s connections with the global flagship ecosystem, including workshops, convenings, and developing new ways to engage the international community in productive ways. The Managing Director must have existing relationships and experience working with a wide range of stakeholders from academia, industry, government, and other organizations. We seek someone highly motivated, excited about leading change in difficult-to-solve climate challenges, and comfortable with a dynamic, start-up-like environment.
