New Era Colorado Foundation and New Era Colorado Action Fund are seeking a full-time Executive Director. More information here.
This will be New Era's first Executive Director transition. The ideal candidate will be a collaborative manager, a strategic thinker and problem-solver, an expert relationship-builder, and have the potential to be an inspiring leader in the community. The Executive Director should be someone who can welcome a crowd at a rowdy event, draft a strategic campaign plan, make a hard ask of a major donor, articulate our work in an inspiring and urgent manner for a grant proposal, and drive the development of new strategies that will result in measurable impact for the short- and long-term. The Executive Director at New Era is a bit of a jack and jill of all trades and should always be ready for a challenging opportunity to make the organization—and our state—better. And of course, this person should be deeply committed to advancing the mission and goals of the organization. Read the full description here.
Over the past ten years, New Era has registered more than 100,000 young voters, executed some of the most effective voter turnout programs in the country, trained hundreds of young leaders, and won several issue advocacy campaigns, including the Campaign for Local Power to create a greener, locally-run electric utility in the city of Boulder. We also passed online voter registration and pre-registration at the state legislature, and played key roles in various other progressive policy efforts. New Era has grown to be the leading voice for young people in Colorado politics and is recognized as one of the largest and most effective state-based youth civic engagement organizations in the country. At New Era, we take the work seriously, but not ourselves--so along the way, we've had some fun: over the years, we've given out 30,000+ buttons that say Vote, F*cker on them (pretty good, eh?), made an MTV Cribs copycat video for Denver's mayoral race, and recruited volunteers to don Where's Waldo costumes to register voters downtown.
New Era is comprised of New Era Colorado Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and New Era Colorado Action Fund, a 501(c)4 nonprofit organization. Also, we're a proud affiliate of the Bus Federation.
Your cover letter should be no longer than 2 pages, include any salary requirements you may have, describe how your professional interests and experiences relate to New Era's purpose and mission, articulate why you're interested in this opportunity and why you're particularly well-suited to lead New Era Colorado.
Applications will be held confidentially by the Boards and two staff representatives on the hiring committee. Although applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, we encourage applicants to submit their materials by December 20th, 2015 at the latest. Phone interviews will take place in December, and we will begin full interviews in January.
