Description

Position Summary

Northern Virginia Family Services (NVFS) seeks a strategic, analytically grounded, and collaborative leader to serve as its inaugural Executive Vice President for Impact and Innovation (EVP). This is a pivotal role at a defining moment for the agency, offering the opportunity to build the analytical and operational infrastructure of a newly designed pillar and to help advance NVFS into its next phase of growth and impact.

NVFS is one of the largest and most trusted human services agencies in Northern Virginia. For more than 100 years, NVFS has served individuals and families navigating poverty and its most complex challenges. The agency is known for being innovative, responsive to community needs, and deeply credible across the full spectrum of its relationships—with the people it serves, with government and private-sector partners, and with the philanthropic community.

Through a broad array of programs and services, a $44 million annual budget, and more than 350 staff members, NVFS positively impacts more than 40,000 individuals each year. Its wide-ranging services—from early childhood education to linguistically and culturally responsive mental health supports - enable the agency to meet individuals and families wherever they are in their journey toward stability and well-being.

The EVP for Impact and Innovation role is a new leadership position responsible for advancing both community-based services and the systems that support learning, growth, and strategic decision-making. This leader will build stronger organizational capacity in areas like business intelligence and program learning, helping the agency better understand and scale what works. They will also guide cross-team collaboration by bringing structured scenario planning and forward-looking analysis into program strategy, helping NVFS remain aligned with its values while adapting to change and protecting critical funding streams.

Reporting to the President and CEO and serving as a key member of the senior leadership team, the EVP will operate as both a builder and a connector - partnering across the agency to align programs, strategy, funding, operations, and talent in service of community impact. This is a role for a leader who is comfortable building in real time - someone who can bring clarity without over-prescribing, make progress with imperfect information, and elevate how decisions are informed and communicated across the organization. With a highly dedicated and experienced staff as a foundation, the EVP will have the opportunity to cultivate a more analytically rigorous, integrated, and forward-looking culture - one that matches the ambition and complexity of NVFS's mission and ensures the organization continues to innovate and expand its reach for years to come.

The target salary range for this role is $200,000 - $210,000.

NVFS has retained the executive search firm Isaacson, Miller to manage recruitment for this position.
