For an extremely capable and entrepreneurial but less experienced candidate, we are willing to conceive of this as a more junior position, through which the Program Director will work with a network of outside consultants to identify and meet the training needs. While a more junior member of the staff would play a primarily coordinating, rather than delivery, role, the position would provide a exposure to a wide range of organizational skills and a chance for mentoring and professional advancement, with the role maturing as the staff person gains experience. The ability to learn from, involve, and teach a diverse group of people with a wide range of abilities and skills. Dynamic personal presentation and concise and vivid writing. The ability to conceive of solutions and the dedication and resilience to see them through.
Compensation is competitive and includes very generous benefits.
All applications will be held in strict confidence. The Appleseed Foundation is an equal opportunity employer, and encourages applications from women and people of color.

Salary and benefits are negotiable.
