Chief Operating Officer

Nonprofit Ops Finance People $175-190k New York, NY (Remote-first)

About this role

Lead operations at an org connecting mission-driven talent to government and modernizing how municipalities hire.

What makes this a Systems Thinker role?

Systems Thinkers see the whole chessboard. They understand how changing one piece affects everything else, and they design processes, strategies, and structures that account for complexity. If you naturally think in feedback loops, love mapping how things connect, and get frustrated when people solve symptoms instead of root causes, this role is for you.
