We’re looking for our next Executive Director – a visionary, ambitious, strategic, and values-aligned leader to guide us through the next chapter of the organization as we strive to counter the rising tide of anti-democratic and racist forces.
In response to the original call for applications in Fall 2025, Advancement Project was heartened to hear from many talented candidates. We are holding onto those applications as we move forward. At the same time, the challenges facing the social justice sector have made it difficult for leaders to find the time to prepare an application, let alone consider a career move. For this reason, we are remaining open to new applications on a rolling basis. Applications received on or before the new priority deadline of March 1, 2026 at 9 pm ET will be reviewed first, and in the order they are received.
The Leadership Transition Committee has taken the opportunity of this extended search phase to finetune the position announcement. Please take a look at the profile for our next leader and instructions to apply. Could this be you? Could this be someone in your network? We invite you to share widely and get in touch with our transition consultants at Strategies for Social Change. They are offering a limited number of confidential calls for possible candidates and connectors. You can schedule a call by emailing AP-EDSearch@strategiesforsocialchange.com.
