"Please do not contact me about this job. View company name and apply directly at: http://bit.ly/qbEwvy Job Description: We are seeking 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. 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. Responsibilities: * 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 training 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. Qualifications 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!"
