Chicago, United States Mikva Challenge Full time

Mikva Challenge’s Mission is to develop youth to be empowered, informed, and active citizens who will promote a just and equitable society.

Mikva Challenge was founded in 1998 as a tribute to former White House Counsel, Judge, and U.S. Congressman, Abner Mikva and his wife, Zoe, a former public-school teacher, and lifelong education activist.

Mikva is a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization guided by the principles central to its founders: the best way to learn democracy is to do democracy. For Mikva Challenge, Democracy is a Verb. To that end, Mikva creates bridges between youth and adults to allow them to form interpersonal connections and make civic decisions, together, by providing opportunity, support, and connections that increase civic knowledge, engagement, and transformation — culminating in empowerment, skill, and inclusion.

The Chief Program Officer (CPO) is a new addition to the executive leadership team at Mikva Challenge. As part of the creation of this role, a new structure from the Program team has been introduced, where both Mikva’s direct youth and school-based programming will now report up through a single division.

The CPO will oversee a team of Managing Directors and Senior Directors and help Mikva to sustain their work and deepen their impact in their existing regions of work. As such, this position emphasis would primarily be on internal or pre-existing programs. The CPO will still be expected to help coach their teams to build relationships in their respective sites to sustain and advance our work in each region.

This role is expected to travel, on average, 15-20% of the time, about one week a month.

Chief Program Officer Responsibilities
  • Program Development and Management: Oversee the implementation of programs to ensure they remain relevant, impactful, representative of organizational values, and responsive to local communities. Continuously improve program effectiveness through data-driven insights and feedback.
  • Team Leadership: Lead and mentor program staff, fostering a collaborative and high-performance work environment. Ensure team members have the resources and support necessary to achieve program objectives.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Build and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders, including program participants, partners, and community members. Represent the organization at program events and meetings to promote key initiatives.
  • Financial Oversight: Develop and manage program budgets, ensuring financial sustainability and compliance with funding requirements. Collaborate with the finance team to monitor expenditures and optimize resource allocation.
  • Systems Building: Develop and implement systems and processes to enhance program efficiency and scalability. Ensure consistent and effective use of technology and tools to support program delivery and evaluation.
  • Impact Measurement: Establish, collect and maintain robust data for tracking and reporting program outcomes and impact. Use data to inform decision-making, demonstrate program effectiveness, and secure funding support.
Candidate Profile

The Chief Program Officer (CPO) of Mikva Challenge will possess the following professional and personal qualities, skills, and characteristics:

A Team Builder and Coach

A leader with a demonstrated history of building and developing their direct reports, the CPO will foster an approachable and supportive team environment by working diligently to understand existing dynamics and to leverage individual strengths. The CPO will strategically develop the team through skill gap identification, professional development opportunities, and tailored training programs.

A Data and Systems Oriented Leader

This leader will have the ability to build specific strategies focused on the achievement of outcomes and long-term goals to position the organization’s programmatic services for the future. The CPO will possess a strong track record with data collection with the ability to utilize systems and metrics that help plan for the future and proactively shift programmatic goals as needed.

Passion for Civic Engagement and the Mission of Mikva

The CPO will embody the values and mission of Mikva Challenge and, as a result, will inspire and motivate others to develop youth to be empowered, informed, and active civic leaders who will promote a just and equitable society.

The salary range for this position is $140,000 to $160,000.

Mikva Challenge offers a comprehensive package of benefits including choice of HMO or PPO health care plan including dental and vision; 401(k) retirement plan matched up to 3% of salary; generous paid vacation and sick leave; flexible spending account; short- and long-term disability; Life Insurance; and an Employee Assistance Program.
