NCG seeks an equity-centered, relationship-oriented leader as Director of Member Engagement to oversee membership engagement, emergent partnerships, and key programming that strengthens our strategic focus on addressing inequities and increases our ability to transform philanthropic practices. The Director ensures that the organization addresses the range of audiences (family, public, private, corporate foundations and beyond) that comprise the dynamic and diverse landscape in our philanthropic community. The Director will also work in close partnership with the President and CEO, supervise membership staff, and provide thought partnership across the breadth of the organization as they develop and implement strategies for effective member engagement. This will require a collaborative leader who is excited about and understands NCG’s role in the field and is able to relate to, inspire, and bring together a wide range of stakeholders in ways that helps move philanthropy forward.
We prioritize equity, diversity, and inclusion, and welcome applicants of diverse race, ethnic culture, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, and physical abilities. The Director should embrace racial equity as a core value and have the emotional intelligence to effectively work with people of all backgrounds and positively contribute to NCG’s culture.
