Atlas Free – Program Director
Ministry Boost, Kirkland, WA, United States
Atlas Free is investing in the next chapter of its global program work. We resource and strengthen a Network of vetted frontline organizations combating sex trafficking and exploitation in complex environments around the world. As our Network grows, so must the clarity, cohesion, and operational strength behind it. This is a senior leadership role accountable for the overall effectiveness, cohesion, and scalability of Atlas Free’s global program portfolio. You will oversee a $4M+ departmental budget, lead and develop the Program Team, and ensure that strategy translates into measurable, durable impact across the Network. You will step into a growing team at an important inflection point. This role calls for a leader who can assess strengths, develop talent, and thoughtfully add new capacity as the organization scales. Success will require setting clear priorities, making sound judgment calls in complex environments, and ensuring efficient follow-through across the department. It is well-suited for someone who has strengthened program functions before and is motivated by building systems and teams that endure.

I love the audacity of Atlas Free’s mission to take on a fight against the largest criminal enterprise on the planet. Like Atlas Free, I am inspired to do what I love (Executive Search) ‘to fight what I hate’ (Human Trafficking).

About Remote Kirkland, WA, is just east of Seattle. The Greater Seattle region, in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, is known for its stunning natural beauty, innovation, and vibrant cultural scene. Surrounded by the Puget Sound, the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges, and abundant forests, the area offers endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, including hiking and watersports. The region is home to a thriving arts and music scene, world-class museums, and an iconic coffee culture. There is a rich diversity of thought, culture, and experience represented in the communities surrounding Seattle. The Seattle area earns its reputation for more days with rain than without, but beautiful Pacific Northwest summers and mild winter temperatures are some of the best-kept secrets of the area. “Working in Kirkland at Atlas Free's office on Central, is an employment benefit all in itself. Sharing a parking lot with waterfront access means that we get to take in all the views and events Kirkland has to offer. We are on the same block as an ice cream shop, a macaroon store, a mini-golf course, and the world's best Thai food. Our location is at the heart of Kirkland, which is also the heart of the Pacific Northwest, with just a short drive to downtown Seattle, countless lakes, forests, and mountains. There is always something to do here, no matter what someone's interests is!”
