About the Position
The Executive Director is the chief visionary and ambassador of the organization. This role exists to set direction, build belief, and expand possibility. Operating within the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), the Executive Director serves squarely in the Visionary seat, focusing on big‑picture thinking, external relationships, long‑term strategy, and mission impact, while intentionally empowering the Integrator to own execution, operations, and internal accountability.
A working understanding of the construction industry—including employer priorities, workforce needs, and career pathways—is essential to effectively represent the organization and advance its mission.
This role is for a dreamer with discipline—someone who sees what could be, communicates it with clarity and conviction, and attracts people, partners, and resources to make it real. It is not a role for someone who needs to control details, manage staff workflows, or stay close to daily operations.
The Executive Director measures success not by personal output, but by lives changed, systems influenced, and leaders empowered.
Vision, Mission & Strategic Direction
- Own and articulate the long‑term vision for the organization and the populations it serves
- Ensure clarity and alignment around the mission, core values, and purpose
- Identify future opportunities, emerging trends, and innovative approaches in workforce development
- Challenge the organization to think bigger, reach further, and serve more effectively
- Partner with the Integrator to translate vision into strategic priorities—without owning execution
External Leadership & Relationship Building
- Serve as the primary external face of the organization
- Build and maintain high‑trust relationships with: Industry leaders and employers, Philanthropic partners and funders, Public sector leaders and policymakers, Education and training partners, Community and nonprofit collaborators
- Advocate for workforce development solutions that create real pathways out of poverty
- Position the organization as a thought leader and trusted partner in the workforce ecosystem
Resource Development & Influence
- Play a lead role in fundraising strategy, donor cultivation, and major partner relationships
- Inspire investment by clearly communicating impact, vision, and outcomes
- Open doors that expand financial sustainability and long‑term opportunity
- Leverage influence and credibility to create partnerships that the organization could not access otherwise
What This Role Is Not
- Not responsible for daily operations or program management
- Not the owner of staff performance management or internal systems
- Not the primary problem‑solver for operational issues
- Not a role for someone who needs hands‑on control to feel effective
Defining Success
Success in this role looks like:
- A compelling, shared vision that energizes staff, partners, and supporters
- Strong, trust‑based relationships that expand opportunity and impact
- Increased resources aligned to mission and strategy
- A confident, empowered Integrator running the organization with discipline and clarity
- Measurable growth in lives changed and pathways created
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Deeply mission‑driven with a genuine desire to change lives
- Passionate about workforce development, economic mobility, and equity of opportunity
- Comfortable thinking 3–10 years ahead while staying grounded in purpose
- Natural relationship‑builder with credibility across sectors
- Emotionally intelligent leader who inspires trust and belief
- Willing—and eager—to stay out of the weeds
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in business administration, organizational leadership, operations management, nonprofit management, or a related field
- 5+ years of experience in operations, program management, or organizational leadership
- Proven leadership experience in nonprofit, workforce development, education, or adjacent sectors
- Demonstrated success in vision‑setting, partnership development, and external leadership
- Demonstrated understanding of the construction industry, including key workforce needs, career pathways, and employer priorities
- Experience in the construction industry or an adjacent field strongly preferred
- Experience working with or within an EOS‑run organization strongly preferred
- Strong communication skills—able to translate complex ideas into compelling narratives
- Commitment to servant leadership and long‑term impact
