**Director, HR & DEI**

Reports to: Chief Operating Officer

Type: Full-Time/Exempt

Location: Stamford, CT (Hybrid)

Salary Range: $110,000 - $130,000

Who We Are

buildOn is a not-for-profit organization committed to ending the poverty and illiteracy crises worldwide. We’re not a charity--we’re a movement.

buildOn unites people to build a more equitable world through service and education, and our programs provide the ignition for communities to build economic opportunity, increase civic engagement, and help individuals gain the skills and confidence needed to shape their own lives.

In the U.S., our Service Learning Programs provide students from under-resourced high schools the tools they need to transform their communities through service. Globally, we partner with people in countries with high poverty and illiteracy rates to build schools and support adult learners through our Adult Literacy Program. To date, our 200,000 U.S. students have contributed more than 2.4 million hours of service to their communities, and we’ve built more than 2,500 schools in eight countries--breaking ground on a new school every 36 hours.

Who We Want

buildOn seeks a dynamic human resources and diversity professional who will work with the Senior Leadership Team to ensure buildOn is a top talent destination. The right person can provide leadership and guidance throughout the organization but is also willing and able to do day-to-day HR tasks.
