Job description

Are you looking to leverage your skills in stakeholder engagement and project management to create a more equitable and impactful philanthropic sector?

The National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy (NCRP) in Washington, D.C. is looking for a senior engagement associate who can help the organization’s small but high-performing team promote philanthropy that is accountable, effective and responsive to the needs of marginalized communities. The senior associate will play a crucial role in managing a core initiative, Power Moves, and in engaging with our nonprofit organization members.

This is a wonderful opportunity for hands-on experience in project management with a mission-driven national nonprofit. You’ll lead the team and manage the project activities for the Power Moves initiative. You’ll gain experience in advancing learning and evaluation activities for projects. You’ll develop your supervision skills by co-supervising an intern. You’ll liaise with foundations and other sector organizations from across the country who share NCRP’s values and who want to improve their practices, and engage them to act on common goals. You’ll get a chance to lead presentations with national audiences. If you are interested in building a vast network throughout this sector in order to make a difference now, while also building transferable skills for future work at a nonprofit or philanthropic institution, please read more below.

The senior associate will be supervised by the field director.

Major Responsibilities:

Power Moves

• Manage regular team meetings and the team’s outreach to grantmakers and other stakeholders to advance project goals
