Org Synopsis 

President & CEO
Location: New York City or San Francisco

As a leading pioneer of the pro bono movement, the Taproot Foundation has led, mobilized, and engaged professionals in pro bono services that drive social change through the nonprofit sector since 2001. Taproot now seeks a dynamic President and Chief Executive Officer to lead this highly respected nonprofit, and the movement itself, further embedding the pro bono service ethic into the social fabric and business case of corporations across the country, and thus ensuring that all nonprofits have access to the professional talent they need to serve their communities and advance social change.

As one of the first evangelists and connectors, Taproot has been instrumental in building a pro bono marketplace that has inspired thousands of business professionals to engage in pro bono activities, has permeated corporations who turn to Taproot for guidance as they seek to establish high impact pro bono programs for their employees, and has been a creative force behind the conception of the national Billion + Change initiative. Taproot has generated over $100 million in pro bono services for nonprofits across the United States, greatly improving their capacity, effectiveness, and impact for the communities they serve.

By translating a critical and ambitious vision for Taproot into concrete and measurable outcomes and creating the necessary infrastructure and funder relationships, the next President and CEO will effectively position Taproot to maximize its impact and responsiveness to the national pro bono movement. The successful candidate will be an inspirational, mission-driven leader who possesses a passion for the pro bono movement, innate strategic and operational excellence, and the capacity to lead a dynamic team and ensure high quality, cutting edge programs and influence. S/he will nurture Taproot’s existing culture of respect, pragmatic optimism, high quality standards, and fiscal stability and transparency recruit, retain, and develop a skilled, diverse, and passionate staff increase funding support and operating revenue and build external visibility with funders, current and potential partners, media, and policy leaders at the federal, state and local level.
