Senior Director of Operations and Administration

Posted on December 02, 2025

Reporting directly to the President, the Senior Director of Operations & Administration is responsible for management of all finance and administration of the Foundation including operations, grants management, budgeting, bill pay, information technology and human resources. The One8 Foundation is at an important growth period, scaling giving and reach. It requires a senior leader who can ensure the administration of the organization keeps pace with the Foundation’s actions and aspirations.

The strategic, ambitious, hands‑on nature of our approach to grantmaking must be matched by an internal operation committed to flawless customer service and continual improvement. The Senior Director is responsible for staying one step ahead of the grantmaking team, continually looking for systems and processes that increase both our effectiveness and efficiency. This operational leader must have demonstrated experience in approaching new problems with a learning and analytic orientation to deliver solutions that meet the objectives.

The Senior Director will work across portfolios, managing internal practices, procedures and day‑to‑day operations of the Foundation efficiently and effectively, while reflecting the Foundation’s values and principles. This individual works closely with Foundation leadership as well as across the entire team to ensure staff are resourced and supported to focus on social change rather than administrative functions of efficient grantmaking. The Senior Director will partner with the Foundation’s Family Office (High Sage Capital), which provides investment management, tax management and financial oversight.

The Senior Director is a key leadership team member and must keep abreast of Foundation priorities and understand the work of the grantmaking teams.
