Executive Director of Educational Initiatives

This is a rare opportunity to help define how a growing foundation shapes American higher education. The Executive Director will build and execute the Foundation’s higher education strategy in collaboration with the Board—designing new programs, forging partnerships, and deploying significant capital. The Foundation is looking for an exceptional action-oriented leader to build and develop programs.

This is a small, high-trust team that operates with urgency and informality. Reporting to the Foundation’s Board, the Executive Director will have substantial latitude to shape strategy, identify opportunities, recommend investments, and define long-term priorities. Over time, this person will build a team and a portfolio. The role also includes exploring opportunities in K-12 education.
