About the New Pennsylvania Project (C4)

The New Pennsylvania Project (NPP) was established in May 2021 modeled by the success of the New Georgia Project. NPP is a voting rights organization with a year-round primary focus on voter registration, civic education, and mobilization. NPP centers historically disenfranchised and often neglected Black, Indigenous and other people of color communities, immigrant communities and the youth in our work. Through civic engagement, we ensure all eligible voters feel compelled to exercise their freedom to vote in the Commonwealth.

The New Pennsylvania Project has a shared services agreement with the New PA Project Education Fund (NPPEF), a non-partisan 501(c)3 voting rights organization. Staff may, at the request of NPP, provide similar services to NPPEF. Any time spent providing services to NPPEF will be considered part of the hours and duties set forth by NPP.

About New PA Project Education Fund (C3)

The New PA Project Education Fund (NPPEF) is a nonpartisan organization led by community leaders across the Commonwealth. NPPEF is dedicated to providing all Pennsylvanians with the opportunity to exercise their voice, power and leadership as full participants in the democratic process. NPPEF centers the youth, immigrants, and Black, Indigenous and other communities of color because these communities are the least represented and most impacted by decisions our government is making.

About the Position

Reporting directly to the CEO, the Managing Director will have strategic and organizing/programmatic responsibilities. The Managing Director will represent both organizations and participate in events, speaking engagements and oftentimes make presentations to community members, partner organizations and other stakeholders.

In the dynamic world of nonprofit management, staying focused on long-term strategy while tackling short-term challenges requires leaders to be resolute yet flexible. The Managing Director will effectively orchestrate and execute strategic initiatives, fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration, and respond to environmental shifts while steering the organizations toward expansion, growth and the overall organizational missions. The Managing Director is expected to communicate openly and constructively with all staff, and foster a culture of shared responsibility and mutual respect.

The Managing Director will be expected to work closely with the CEO to create and implement the strategic plan for both the New PA Project Education Fund (NPPEF) and the New Pennsylvania Project, and design programs and initiatives within that plan. The Managing Director will set the directives for civic engagement, education, and mobilization.

The Managing Director responsibilities include development, implementation, and oversight of the voter registration, community engagement, quality control and mobilization programs. The Managing Director will lead and be responsible for all programmatic activities in coordination with their direct reports, and responsible for developing new approaches, programs and partnerships to further the missions of NPP and NPPEF.

The Managing Director will directly supervise members of the senior leadership and programs staff to include the director of quality control and data, deputy director(s) of programs and organizing, and regional organizing directors.

Because our target communities and colleagues come from a wide range of backgrounds, this position needs to be able to thoughtfully navigate and manage issues related to impacted communities, diversity, race, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and bring a deep commitment to advancing these values. The incumbent will also need to bring a strong commitment to excellence and true collaboration, an ability to work quickly but carefully, and appreciation for/patience, and developing and growing team members.

NPP and NPPEF are second chance organizations, and currently employ staff that are formerly incarcerated, in active recovery, and dealing with mental health. We aim to ensure all staff share those values and are comfortable working in a diverse environment with staff of all levels and backgrounds.

Additionally, this position requires a high degree of discretion. The need for accuracy and effective utilization of accepted programs and routines is high.
