About Us: Chiefs for Change – Where Education Meets Transformation

We're not just another educational nonprofit but a catalyst for change. If you're a visionary leader passionate about both people and strategy, join us as our Director of People and Culture.

The Opportunity: A Role with a Singular Vision

In the realm of nonprofit education, roles often come with predefined boundaries, usually confined to either operational logistics or people management. The Director of People and Culture at Chiefs for Change breaks that mold. This role is not just a job; it's a mission, and a unique opportunity to shape the very fabric of an organization committed to transformative education.

As the Director of People and Culture, you'll be the heartbeat of our organization, the steward of our culture, and the champion of our most valuable asset—our people. Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll serve as a trusted advisor whose insights and leadership will be instrumental in shaping the core ethos and values of Chiefs for Change. Your influence will extend beyond traditional HR functions, touching every aspect of our organization, from talent acquisition to employee well-being, from diversity and inclusion to leadership development.

But this role is about more than just aligning our human capital with our strategic objectives; it's about creating a living, breathing culture where talent doesn't just survive but thrives. You'll be the architect of an environment that fosters innovation, inclusivity, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. You'll cultivate a workspace where every team member feels valued, heard, and empowered to contribute to our collective mission.

Your impact won't be confined to the walls of Chiefs for Change. It will ripple outwards, influencing our broader community and laying the groundwork for a new paradigm in educational leadership. You'll do all this while championing our core values of inclusivity, fairness, and the transformative power of education.

Approach to Compensation | Fairness Over Negotiation

We get it; the topic of salary often turns into a negotiation game. But here at Chiefs for Change, we're taking a different approach—one that's rooted in fairness and internal equity.

So here's the deal: The salary range for this role is between $108,304 and $173,286, with a midpoint of $140,795. We're updating our approach and setting the starting offers at 95% of the midpoint. For this role, that would be $133,755. And you know what? We keep it that way for everyone. No haggling, no back-and-forth. Why? Because your worth to us isn't about your ability to negotiate; it's about your ability to contribute to our mission and make a lasting impact.

But wait, there's more. You know how sometimes people feel the need to jump from role to role just to get a bump in pay? We've got you covered. Our salary bands are intentionally wide, giving you ample room to grow financially without having to change your job title. It's our way of saying, "Hey, we value your growth right where you are, and we want to reward you for it."

We recognize that negotiation often favors certain demographic groups, and we're committed to leveling the playing field. We want every candidate from every background to know they're being valued fairly for their skills and potential.

Why This Role Is a Game-Changer

This is more than a job; it's an opportunity to be at the forefront of educational transformation. Your leadership will directly contribute to closing educational gaps and transforming lives through education.

Are you ready to be a part of something bigger than yourself? Let's talk.

We're a close-knit team on a mission, and while we'd love to connect with every passionate applicant, we can only reach out to those who will be advancing to the interview stage. Rest assured, we're committed to fostering an inclusive environment that celebrates diversity in all its forms—be it religion, gender, sexual orientation, or cultural background. Your uniqueness is a strength we value.
