[Philly Jobs for Change] Urban Creators is Seeking a Director of Capacity & Development

[Nigel Charles]

Exciting opportunity! – The Urban Creators are currently recruiting applicants for their new Director of Capacity & Development position. 

 

The Urban Creators (UC) is a North Philadelphia-based organization that uses food, art, education, and community organizing as tools to nurture resilience, self-determination, and equity in their community. Since 2010, UC has transformed 2-acres of land into Life Do Grow; an urban farm, neighborhood creative commons, and an artistic venue for radical self-expression.

 

Now, as they look towards the future, they are searching for a values-driven change agent to join their collective who has the skills needed to build organizational capacity, along with a passion for uplifting the leadership of those most impacted by the systemic injustices facing our community. This new Director of Capacity & Development (DoCD) will be responsible for collaboratively leading the organization's strategic development, while building the financial capacity to sustain current projects and programs and pursue new opportunities for growth. They will also work closely with the Director of Operations (DoO), as Co-Directors, to facilitate collective decision-making and accountability practices with staff members, report to the Board of Directors, and nurture an organizational culture rooted in love, respect, harmony, collaboration, mutual accountability, and commitment to core values. An ideal candidate is someone with proven leadership and management experience, and demonstrated commitment to building a more just and equitable world.

 

The Urban Creators will be accepting applications on a rolling basis throughout June and July, with a target start date of August/September, 2022.
