The Management Center (TMC) seeks a new Partner to help our nonprofit
clients become high-performing organizations that deliver great
results. The Partner will lead client engagements and serve as
teacher/coach/trainer/nudge/spiritual-advisor/thought-partner to
senior client executives. The ideal candidate for the Partner role
will not be a lifelong consultant; rather, we seek an experienced
executive who has managed and produced results and who has a passion
for teaching others how to do the same.
Who We Are
Our mission is to instill the management practices that make it easier
for nonprofit leaders and their organizations to get outstanding
results. We are a nonprofit firm founded in 2006, and we have worked
with over fifty client organizations, focusing in particular on
leading progressive groups working for social change. Our clients
work on issues – like expanding opportunities for people in low-income
communities, protecting the environment, and promoting equal rights –
where they face an inherently uphill battle and so must fight more
effectively than their opponents if they are going to win. We aim to
help them do that by making their organizations as effective as
possible.
The majority of our work involves direct coaching of clients, and we
also offer publications and training to the broader field. Along the
way, we have built a strong reputation: on our most recent anonymous
survey, 95% of clients said they “Strongly Agree” that they would
recommend TMC to a friend. Such positive word-of-mouth has created
fairly explosive demand for our services that the new Partner will
help us meet.
What You’ll Do
Your job will be to instill the management practices that will help
your nonprofit clients become high-performing organizations that
deliver great results. You will work with CEOs and their senior teams
to help them define ambitious goals; manage for execution; implement
rigorous “people practices,” including selecting and retaining the
best talent and letting go of people who don’t meet a high bar; and
build cultures that reinforce excellence and constant improvement.
At any given time, you will lead roughly three to five intensive
client engagements and several other less intensive relationships.
Your work with clients might include:
• Observing them in action, diagnosing their needs, and designing the
scope of our work with them;
• Delivering services to clients, including coaching senior executives
one-on-one, designing new organization-wide systems, providing advice
on challenges of the day, and conducting trainings for senior teams;
• Serving as the primary point of contact for clients and developing
strong working relationships with them;
• In the friendliest way possible, nagging client leaders to make sure
they are following-up on their commitments; and
• Prioritizing across client needs to ensure we spend our energy
wisely.
Beyond your work with clients, you will help build and grow TMC. You
might develop new tools for all of our clients to use, identify better
approaches for how we engage with clients, or help us come up with
more effective ways to assess our progress. You will also help shape
the organization’s strategic direction, and serve as an external
ambassador with key constituents.
You will have the dubious privilege of reporting to our CEO, Jerry
Hauser, who will measure your success primarily by improvement in your
clients’ practices, client satisfaction, revenue generated, and fit
with our culture.
Who You Are
To be successful in this job, you will excel in three areas:
1. Management instincts: You will have a demonstrated track record of
success managing a high-performing organization, department, or team,
and will therefore bring both a deep understanding of what it takes to
produce results and instincts for going beyond the “textbook” to get
to solutions that will work.
2. Critical thinking skills: You will need the smarts to quickly
become “fluent” in your clients’ contexts, analyze situations to see
beyond the surface of challenges, and effectively customize general
practices to fit clients’ particular needs.
3. Interpersonal ability: You must be able to build trust and
goodwill with clients and demonstrate deep respect for the clients’
work. You’re the kind of person who thrives on teaching and
developing others, while bringing a healthy impatience to see
progress.
We are more interested in these three qualities than in any particular
type of experience. Prior experience in the nonprofit or progressive
political arena is a plus, but not a requirement. You need to fit
well with our culture, bringing a strong commitment to excellence, an
ability to work in a fast-paced environment, and a cutting edge sense
of humor!
What Else You Should Know
We are an equal opportunity employer, and we make a particular effort
to recruit people of color to apply for open positions. The position
is full-time and is based in Washington, DC, though for the ideal
candidate we might consider other arrangements.
We offer excellent salaries and benefits, commensurate with
experience.
What Now?
To apply, send a resume and brief cover note to
alison@managementcenter.org.
