Posted on November 05, 2025

As Woka’s third paid staff position, the Associate Director of Program and Operations will have a unique opportunity to shape day-to-day operations and contribute to strategic plans for future growth for a nimble foundation dedicated to making a decisive impact on mitigating climate change. This new position will report to the Senior Director of Operations and Strategy and work closely with other staff members, Woka’s Board of Directors, consultants, and grantee partners.

The Associate Director of Program and Operations will develop strategy recommendations and monitor the grantmaking efforts for half of the foundation’s focus areas (note that the Director of Program and Operations manages our Regenerative Practices focus area). This position offers an opportunity to play an essential part in shaping Woka’s response to the existential threat of our time.

We seek a thought partner and intellectually agile team member whose curiosity, passions, and aspirations align well with Woka’s guiding principles and priorities. The ideal candidate has excellent organizational skills, a penchant for developing and managing efficient operational systems, knowledge of grants management, and they relish the opportunity to create systems-level change that moves us from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy.

They have the ability to adapt to an ever-changing funding environment. Candidates with personal or professional experience in various aspects of our focus areas will be given specific attention.

Applicants applying by December 15, 2025 will be given priority consideration, with the position open until filled. Please submit a cover letter and resume to [email protected]. Please use your cover letter to describe your interest in the role and why you see yourself as a good fit for the Woka ethos.
