Descripción del empleo

Our client, The National Association of Charter School Authorizers (NACSA), is a nonprofit organization whose members are dedicated to advancing quality charter school authorizing. Founded in 2000, NACSA’s mission is to advance and strengthen authorizing ideas and practices so students and communities, especially those who are historically under-resourced, thrive. Over the past 25 years, NACSA has become a leading national voice in the field, helping to shape authorizing standards, practices, and policy across the country. Today, NACSA operates within a national landscape of 1,000+ authorizers overseeing 7,000+ charter schools and connects 1,200+ professionals working across the field.

NACSA is seeking a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to lead the organization at a critical moment for both NACSA and the broader charter school sector. Reporting to the Board of Directors, the CEO will build on NACSA’s history and credibility as a national voice for quality authorizing and lead the organization into its next chapter. As the charter sector navigates evolving school choice policies, shifting political dynamics, and continued questions about school quality and accountability, the role of authorizing in determining which schools open, how they are held accountable, and whether they continue operating is increasingly consequential. NACSA's next CEO will help shape how authorizing responds to these changes and advances better outcomes for students.

The next CEO will be responsible for the following priorities:

• Establishing a clear strategic direction and positioning NACSA for continued impact by making deliberate choices about organizational priorities, driving execution of its strategic vision, and evolving its work to respond to emerging needs in the charter school and broader education landscape while demonstrating progress toward organizational goals;
• Strengthening NACSA's national leadership and influence by elevating its voice on charter school authorizing, accountability, and quality, articulating its value to the field, and deepening relationships with authorizers, policymakers, funders, and other education leaders;
• Building a cohesive and effective organization by developing staff and senior leaders, strengthening internal communication and collaboration, and aligning organizational structures, systems, and resources with strategic priorities; and
• Advancing NACSA's financial sustainability by strengthening philanthropic partnerships, diversifying revenue, and developing earned-revenue opportunities that align with the organization's mission and capacity.
