About the position: The Director of Strategy and Partnerships is responsible for guiding the strategic direction of the organization in collaboration with local, national, and international partners. They are one of two co-directors who together are charged with leading the organization in consultation with the board of directors. The co-directors hold the big picture of the organization and ensure the goals and vision set by the board are met. Rather than collaborating on all decisions, each co-director is responsible for their own realm of duties - strategy and partnerships on the one hand and organizing on the other. The co-directors are expected to maintain a close working relationship and consult with one another whenever helpful or when projects extend into both realms.
The Director of Strategy and Partnerships and the Director of Organizing provide day-to-day co-supervision for one another. There is also a member of the board who serves as staff supervisor to provide monthly big picture support.
