About the Role
The Company is in search of a Chief Program Officer to spearhead the development and expansion of conservation programs dedicated to the protection of the night sky on a global scale. This pivotal role involves leading policy initiatives, and certifications, and managing a diverse team and partnerships to transform awareness of light pollution into tangible, lasting actions. The successful candidate will be instrumental in shaping the organization's next chapter, particularly in the context of a significant scale-up and the introduction of new, globally implemented programs. A strategic and collaborative approach is essential, as is the ability to thrive in a fast-growing, dynamic environment where priorities may shift and new opportunities arise. Applicants for the Chief Program Officer position at the company should be seasoned program leaders with a proven track record of growth and development. The role demands a clear and decisive leadership style, the ability to communicate effectively, and a deep commitment to the mission of protecting natural darkness. The ideal candidate will have experience in a U.S.-based nonprofit setting, as well as international experience, and be prepared for a remote position with a primarily U.S.-based team. The role requires a high level of availability, including the potential for up to 25% travel, and the flexibility to work during core hours. A genuine care for the team and the capacity to translate complex technical material for both specialists and the public are also key attributes for this position.
