I’m a big fan of Forward Cities and the work it does to strengthen entrepreneurial ecosystems! Its Community Innovation department is currently scouting a Director of Community Engagement to oversee its digital and in-person community engagement strategy.
In this role, you’ll work closely with the Director of Community Innovation, Hassan Barri, and may have direct reports. The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of operational experience and demonstrated experience in entrepreneurial support and/or ecosystem building. Salary is $60K - $75K and includes full benefits.
What I love
This will be a masterclass on how to create environments in which entrepreneurs can thrive.
You’ll be reporting to Brett Brenton! I’ve worked with Brett. He’s a wonderful human being (former teacher).
I also like the inclusion of direct reports - a great opportunity to build your leadership skills.
And I find it exciting that Forward Cities is partnering with the Kauffman Foundation on FC programming. Kauffman is a private foundation that’s made a big name for itself advancing entrepreneurship, improving education, and supporting civic development. I’m guessing you’d really build your network in this role.
Don’t forget…
You can follow this org, read about its team, and follow the team members whose profiles inspire you - a great way to build your social impact scenius!
