Director Louisiana Justice Fund

The Louisiana Justice Fund (LJF), a pooled fund housed within FFL, seeks a Director to lead its efforts in transforming the criminal legal system in Louisiana. The Director will envision, develop, and implement strategic goals, oversee grantmaking, build partnerships, manage staff, and ensure the Fund's alignment with its mission and values. This role requires a deep commitment to social justice and the ability to navigate complex, dynamic contexts.

FFL’s criminal legal reform work aims to shift resources away from dehumanizing and discriminatory practices within the criminal legal system towards a justice system that reinforces and sustains strong individuals, families, and communities. We aim to build on previous work and successful partnerships to develop our forward-looking criminal legal reform strategy with an intersectional emphasis on the relationship between criminal legal system involvement, race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, and immigration status.
The LJF Director will report to the Vice President of Programs. The location for this position is flexible inside the state of Louisiana.
All Foundation for Louisiana employees work remotely with the option to access office space in New Orleans. In-person attendance is expected at semi-regular (quarterly) programs team and all staff meetings in New Orleans. External partner meetings may also require in-person availability across the state.
