President & Chief Executive Officer (WWF)

Posted on September 02, 2020

THE OPPORTUNITY

Washington Women’s Foundation (WaWF) is a strong and inclusive collective of informed women who together influence community transformation through individual and collective discovery, high-impact grant making and by listening to and respecting all voices in our community. At a critical time in WaWF’s history we are seeking an inspirational and innovative President & CEO to lead WaWF. WaWF believes it is more important now than ever, in this time of pandemic, economic devastation, and racial injustice reckoning, to find a leader who understands these challenges and has the experience and vision to help define WaWF’s role in addressing them.

The President & CEO will build upon a rich 25-year history of collective grantmaking that empowered women to see that by working together, they could learn and give with greater impact. With WaWF’s recent adoption of a strategic framework focused on advancing equity and becoming an anti-racist organization, the next President & CEO will help co-create new, creative and bold actions to fuel a thriving nonprofit sector and meet the demands of the moment.

THE ROLE

The President & CEO will represent WaWF, to members, potential members, the community, and the broader philanthropic sector. Managing a talented and committed staff of 4, the President & CEO will have operational responsibility for WaWF’s grantmaking and educational programs, communications, fundraising, events, and finances.

The President & CEO will be instrumental in continuing to position WaWF as a true community partner and actualize the full potential of bringing our vision and values to life. The President & CEO will have the experience to partner effectively with Board and staff to build authentic internal & external relationships.

Specific responsibilities include:

  • Develop the strategic framework into an actionable plan to become an anti-racist organization that is relevant and responsive to the imperatives of these challenging times;
  • Be highly visible, engaged, and connected to WaWF members and the community;
  • Create a stimulating educational environment that engages current members and cultivates new members;
  • Increase membership to reflect and represent the diversity of the broader community;
  • Serve as the chief spokesperson for WaWF with all internal and external stakeholders, as a unifying and transparent communicator in the advancement of WaWF’s mission;
  • Continue evolving WaWF’s grantmaking practices to maximize impact, listening to voices in the community, sharing power and driving innovative thinking in philanthropy to counteract the systems built and maintained by systemic oppression;
  • Build and strengthen relationships and partnerships with relevant community, philanthropic, and nonprofit partners, thought leaders, and business institutions, locally and statewide;
  • Provide collaborative leadership and advice to the Board of Directors;
  • Make strong organizational capacity and financial sustainability a high priority;
  • Provide clear direction, leadership and motivation to the staff, encouraging an organizational culture of inclusion and belonging characterized by continuous learning and exploration, promotion of health and wellbeing, collaboration, and equity;
  • Lead and oversee efforts in revenue generation through membership recruitment and stewardship, growth of our annual fund and endowment, sponsorships, and other funding strategies;
  • Lead the organization in the exploration of new grantmaking models and programming to ensure that WaWF is at the leading edge of best practices and engaged in local, state, and national conversations about trends and outcomes in inclusive philanthropy.
CANDIDATE PROFILE

The President & CEO will be courageous, vulnerable, and authentic, will have had success in previous leadership roles, will be experienced in creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive organizational culture and will have demonstrated a commitment to social justice.

The President & CEO will embrace the mission of WaWF, the power of collective grantmaking, and will be invested fully in the vision and goals of the organization. This effective leader will provide strategic direction, building on the firm foundation and strong legacy of the past, while unifying members in the pursuit of an inclusive and transformational strategic direction.

A natural bridge and coalition-builder, the President & CEO will have the ability to inspire trust and confidence with a diverse range of stakeholders, including members, staff, Board of Directors, other funders and the community-at-large, and will build connections amongst them.

The ideal candidate will have experience building and leading effective diverse teams and will be able to execute on strategy through active collaboration with membership, staff, Board, and community and philanthropic partners. This individual will also be willing to roll up their sleeves to get things done and see WaWF’s strategic objectives through to successful implementation.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

This full-time position (40 hours/week) is based in Seattle, WA. Salary will be commensurate with experience and the range will start at $165,000. Benefits include paid leave, medical, vision and dental insurance, annual transit pass, charitable match, and a retirement plan option.
