About the Role

The Company is seeking an Executive Director for its New York Chapter. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading the design and execution of local strategy and programs in alignment with the organization's theory of change. This includes overseeing advocacy campaigns, cultivating teacher members for leadership roles, and managing a high-performing team. The role also involves setting and leading the chapter's vision and strategy, as well as being the external representative of the organization's work in New York. The Executive Director will be expected to have a minimum of ten years of experience in education, education policy, campaign organizing, or advocacy, with a strong preference for those with a background in pre-K-12 education and classroom teaching. Political savvy, a proven track record of building coalitions, and experience in fundraising and development are essential.

Candidates for the Executive Director position should embody the core values of the organization, which include respect, professionalism, a solutions-oriented approach, a growth mindset, dynamic leadership, and a commitment to diversity and inclusiveness. The role requires a leader who can set a clear, mission-aligned vision, lead change, and ensure diverse and equitable environments. The ideal candidate will have a deep knowledge of the New York City and State educational, political, and donor landscape, and the ability to make decisions that advance the organization's goals while considering its long-term sustainability. Functional knowledge in areas such as effective advocacy and organizing tactics, as well as experience in managing a small organization, is also necessary.
