What youll do

Who you are and keys to success (the must-haves) To be successful in this job, you will excel in four areas:
Relationship-building: You develop and maintain strong, collaborative working relationships with a diverse group of stakeholders and can attract allies and partners from marginalized communities, such as people of color, people with disabilities, low-income families, and immigrants. You know how to build sales networks and alliances and find points of collaboration even when competing interests exist.
Drive to achieve results: You have a track record of accomplishing ambitious goals and getting results despite obstacles. You set a high bar and meet it because you think three (or 30) steps ahead to anticipate hurdles and develop pragmatic solutions. You plan backward and involve stakeholders appropriately.
Inclusive leadership and management: You approach leadership with a mindset of power ith rather than power over and regularly include others in decision-making. You have experience managing multiple projects and keeping tasks from slipping through the cracks. You use resources wisely and can provide clear direction to clients, partners, and contractors to leverage time and resources for impact.
Commitment to racial equity and social justice: You recognize the role of race, income, age, immigration status, and other identities in addressing disparities, and you consistently amplify community voices to advocate for more equitable solutions. You recognize how your own identities show up in the work, and welcome, reflect on and act on feedback with an eye toward continuous learning about race, ability, and other lines of difference.
