Big Impact. Local Leadership. No Two Days Alike.

Junior Achievement of Kansas is looking for a relationship-builder, opportunity-spotter, community champion, and get-it-done leader to guide our work in the Wichita area.

The District Director is the senior leader for JA’s Wichita market and is responsible for growing revenue, expanding community partnerships, strengthening program impact, engaging the Wichita Board of Directors, and leading memorable experiences that connect people to our mission.

This is not a behind-the-desk position. One day you may be meeting with a corporate partner; the next, working with a school leader, preparing for a fundraising event, presenting to the board, or representing JA in the community. You’ll have the support and statewide strategy of Junior Achievement of Kansas—but you’ll be trusted to own the work, relationships, and results in Wichita.

The ideal candidate will be comfortable working independently, taking initiative, and owning results while also collaborating closely with staff, board members, volunteers, and community partners. This person must see the big picture, make thoughtful decisions, communicate openly, and bring others along in moving the work forward.
