Managing Director, Explore Hub

Managing Director, Explore Hub

Britebound is a national nonprofit that is changing the way kids learn about careers and prepare for their futures through access to career-readiness information and experiences.

Britebound fulfills its mission through free digital-first direct experiences, philanthropy, advocacy, thought leadership, groundbreaking research, and impact investing. We believe that exploring career possibilities, as early as middle school, and providing access to education-to-career pathways aligned with one's passions and goals will result in greater confidence and long-term success for all students.

We're looking for a Managing Director, Explore Hub.

The Explore Impact Hub is a new national center of excellence dedicated to transforming how young people, ages 11-14, engage in self-discovery and early career exploration. The Hub will focus on one of the most important and often overlooked developmental stages in a young person's journey: early adolescence.

The Explore Impact Hub exists to answer a critical question: how can we help young adolescents better understand themselves and their future possibilities in ways that meaningfully influence their long-term educational and career trajectories? To answer this question, the Hub will identify, design, test, evaluate, and scale innovative approaches that help young people explore their interests, strengths, values, identities, and aspirations.

Britebound seeks a visionary and collaborative Managing Director to launch and lead the Explore Impact Hub.

This role presents a rare opportunity to shape a national initiative at the intersection of adolescent development, education innovation, and career readiness. The Managing Director will be responsible for establishing the Hub's strategic direction, leading its team and operating model, managing its portfolio of programs, and serving as its primary external ambassador.

The ideal candidate combines deep expertise in early adolescent development with the leadership capabilities required to build a high-impact organization. They are equally comfortable shaping long-term strategy, cultivating partnerships, overseeing research and evaluation efforts, managing teams and budgets, and influencing national conversations about youth development and career exploration.

The Managing Director reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer and works closely with Britebound's other Impact Hubs and executive leadership team.

This is an opportunity to lead a nationally significant initiative and help shape the future of career exploration for millions of young people.

As Managing Director, you will:

• Influence the future direction of middle school career exploration and youth development.
• Partner with leading researchers, innovators, educators, funders, and policymakers.
• Lead a high-performing team and portfolio of programs.
• Generate evidence and solutions that can drive lasting systems change.
• Help young people discover their strengths, interests, and future possibilities at a critical stage of development.

This is a full-time hybrid position. The Managing Director will be expected to travel periodically for partner meetings, conferences, site visits, and field-building activities.

Salary Range: $220,000 – 280,000. Britebound is committed to fair and transparent pay. In determining compensation, we consider a variety of job-related factors, including prior experience, certifications and licenses, skills and expertise, geographic location, and internal equity.

Britebound offers a wide range of perks and benefits to Team Members, including comprehensive medical, dental, and vision healthcare plans, a retirement plan (plus match), weekly lunches, commuter benefits, and tuition reimbursement.

We also heavily prioritize a healthy work/life balance, which is why we offer all full-time Team Members generous PTO options, Summer Fridays (every Friday off between Memorial Day and Labor Day), and a company holiday break between December 25th and January 1st.
