The role also involves setting performance objectives, providing regular feedback, and directly managing senior policy directors and staff.

The President & CEO will cultivate and maintain relationships with donors and external stakeholders, including elected and unelected policymakers, regulators, industry leaders, media, and partner organizations. The position includes representing the organization at meetings and events to advance its mission and overseeing communications for media outreach, strategic positioning, media relations, and consistent messaging. Required qualifications include an advanced understanding of economics and financial policy and regulation, extensive experience in law, economics, finance, public service, or related work, and senior executive leadership experience. An advanced degree in law, economics, finance, or a related field is highly desirable, along with established relationships with economic and advocacy policymakers and desirable experience as a spokesperson with significant media presence; personal qualities should include integrity, credibility, mission alignment, and strong leadership and communication capabilities.
