  • Ensure excellence and creativity in research, writing, and thought leadership to position the organization as an innovative leader.
  • Work closely with the co-founders and board of directors to support effective governance, fundraising, and oversight.

We envision the Managing Director further assessing these organizational needs and hiring accordingly to meet them in fairly short order.
