United States

Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.

We are seeking a bold, entrepreneurial Enterprise Architecture & Data Leader to shape how technology, data, and AI enable innovation and accelerate impact across Stand Together.

This is a unique opportunity for a strategic technology thought leader who thrives on building from the ground up, challenging conventional approaches, and turning complex technology environments into scalable, connected ecosystems.

As a member of the technology leadership team, you will establish and lead our enterprise architecture and data function, setting the direction for how systems connect, data is shared, and technology decisions are made. You will create architectural foundations, trusted data models, and reusable solutions that empower teams to move faster, innovate with confidence, and deliver greater value.

We are looking for a leader who sees architecture as an enabler of innovation, not a barrier to progress — someone who combines deep technical expertise, sound business judgment, and an entrepreneurial mindset to build what comes next.
