About The Position
Braven is a national nonprofit that prepares promising young people—many of whom are people of color, from low-income backgrounds, and/or the first in their families to attend college—to secure a strong first opportunity after college graduation through a career-accelerating program. We work with higher education and employer partners to offer a life-changing experience that begins with a semester-long course for college students followed by support that lasts through graduation. Together, we are helping to open up access to the American Promise, empowering a generation of leaders who mirror the diversity of our country. In order to achieve its ambition of serving 80,000-100,000 Fellows over the next decade, Braven is hiring an Executive Director (ED) - Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW). Initially joining as a member of the External Affairs Team, this person will lead our efforts to launch and oversee Braven’s potential new DFW region, including its first potential new higher education partner within DFW. The ED will also work with the DFW External Affairs Director and the Central External Affairs teams to raise roughly $9M for the first three years of programming before the launch of the new site, among other external priorities. Should a partnership with a higher education institution in the DFW solidify, this temporary position would become a permanent full-time regional role and lead the DFW team as the region’s most senior-level executive and the face of Braven. They will be responsible for all the major outcomes in the region and set the vision and direction for how Braven comes alive successfully in their region. They manage and lead the regional program team, build a regional advisory board, make expansion decisions alongside their board, lead their External Affairs team in close collaboration with the central External Affairs team, serve as a Braven organizational leader on the Alignment Team (AT) and ensure they and Braven are the primary thought leaders in the college-to-career space in their region. The ED will report to the Founder & CEO and be part of Braven’s Alignment Team (AT), the organization’s leadership body.
