Areas of responsibility for the new ED require thorough knowledge of management best practices and fiscal responsibility. You must be a leader who can bring people together, assess situations, and solve problems. Because the Rancho is a city asset governed by the Foundation Board, the ED will interact with public officials, board members, stakeholders, teachers and students, visitors, and neighbors. Consequently, the board will be looking for candidates with demonstrated skill in broad public engagement, and when necessary, expertise in negotiation and mitigation of issues with diplomacy, decisiveness, and confidence.
The Executive Director will provide executive oversight to engage board members, staff and volunteers to ensure the Rancho runs smoothly and continues to increase its profile in Southern California and the world. The Executive Director will ensure processes and procedures are in place with key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure organizational success. The ideal candidate will be a proven leader who can manage, coach and inspire the staff and volunteers, develop positive relationships with private and public funders, interface with governmental personnel, and explore new opportunities for service and growth. He/she will benefit from a broad Board committee structure in place for policy guidance.
