Job description

NPAG is a consulting firm at the intersections of talent strategy, executive search, organizational development, and leadership & organizational capacity building. NPAG is dedicated to serving mission-driven organizations at the leading edge of movements for social change. Our core business is expanding the capacity and diversity of nonprofits by helping them build teams of leaders, changemakers, connectors, and disruptors to advance the missions they serve.

Over our 20 years in business, we have developed a team and company platform that is distributed and closely connected virtually from all regions of the U.S., and mobile as needed, to serve clients in their home communities. We offer a creative, energetic, family-friendly workplace environment – our 27 staff span all regions of the U.S. and around the globe, and represent a wide diversity of experiences, perspectives, identities, and both functional and subject areas. This allows us to provide the highest quality services with a full range of flexibility that results in a sector-leading value proposition for our clients and employees.

The strength and diversity of our team translates directly to the measurable impact of our work building healthy organizations in the mission-driven sector. Our clients do critical work, and we help them not just to identify and attract top talent, but to better understand the landscape of challenges and opportunities they face by effectively tapping the wisdom of diverse networks of leaders. The results speak for themselves, and to cite just one measure, over 70% of our placements since 2020 identify as Black, Indigenous, or people of color, and nearly 80% are women.

ABOUT THE POSITION

We seek a highly motivated, organized, values-aligned, and client-focused problem solver to join our growing team. Experience tells us that our ability to deliver the highest quality services and fulfill our mission is directly related to the diversity of perspectives and professional and lived experiences represented on our team.

Associates in the firm are client-facing project managers, strategists, relationship builders, writers, and analysts of diverse channels of data and written materials. Our work is exciting, important, nuanced, and urgent, requiring our team to bring persistence, focus, dedication, and sensitivity to the work. Candidates must demonstrate highly refined critical thinking and expert project management skills, a proactive service orientation, exceptional communication skills, and a keen eye for both detail and nuance. Strong candidates will bring a commitment to NPAG values and relevant professional experience with strong alignment to mission-driven work. Capacity to manage multiple projects and priorities at once and to communicate well with internal and external collaborators both virtually and in person is essential. Associates will report within an NPAG "Homeroom" structure to their Homeroom team lead and are further managed on a day-to-day basis by project leads. NPAG has an extensive onboarding and on-the-job training program in all aspects of executive search and consulting and a very proactive orientation to employee advancement through a dedicated cadence of conversations and goal setting to help employees grow and develop their careers within and outside of NPAG.

COMPENSATION

Annual total compensation for Associates ranges from approximately $80,000 to $120,000, commensurate with relevant experience.

NPAG is an equal opportunity employer that values diversity and strives for authentic inclusion. NPAG does not discriminate in employment based on any individual's race, socioeconomic status, national origin, color, disability, religion, gender, age, marital status, sexual orientation, or gender identity and encourages all candidates to apply.
