Consortium of Florida Education Foundations•ANY, FL

About The Position

This is a broad role by design. We are not looking for someone who only wants to do one narrow thing every day or all things on all days. Work life balance is a priority for the entire team and that’s possible with this role if you are naturally organized. We are looking for someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in making things work, and wants to be part of a mission-driven team where their contributions are visible and valued. The right person will not be expected to know everything on day one. But they should be curious, capable, organized, kind, responsive, and willing to learn. Above all, they should enjoy helping people connect, communicate, and move good work forward. The Consortium of Florida Education Foundations is a statewide membership organization that supports local education foundations serving students, teachers, and public schools across Florida. We are a small, fast-moving, highly collaborative team with a big mission: helping local education foundations grow their capacity, tell their stories, build partnerships, and increase their impact. We are looking for someone who likes meaningful work, variety, relationships, details, events, communications, and the occasional “can you help figure this out?” moment. The Director of Member Engagement is the person who helps make The Consortium feel connected, useful, responsive, and high-value to our members. This is a great role for someone who enjoys wearing several hats, not all at once, but sometimes in the same week. One day you may be helping shape a member webinar. Another day you may be drafting a newsletter, coordinating a speaker, updating a resource, helping plan a statewide convening, supporting sponsor recognition, or checking in with a member foundation that needs help thinking through its next step. We need a thoughtful doer. A relationship-builder. A planner. A communicator. A person who can take a big idea and turn it into a useful agenda, a clean email, a good member experience, or a completed project. This is not a narrow role. It is for someone who enjoys being close to the action and helping a small team make a big statewide impact.
