We believe that all people can become leaders and agents of change in the areas of racial justice, immigrant and refugee rights, affordable housing, and living wages. Unite Oregon is building a unified intercultural movement for justice in our state.
Currently, we are in a period of transition, recovering from financial challenges brought on by the pandemic, significant shifts in federal funding and policies, changes in board leadership and composition, and restructuring within the senior leadership team. These shifts have contributed to staff uncertainty, requiring strong, strategic leadership to guide the organization forward.
We are seeking an experienced professional to develop and implement a new strategic plan, strengthen board and senior leadership capacity, and unite staff and board members in advancing the organization’s mission in an efficient, effective, and impactful way.
The incoming Executive Director will also navigate fundraising challenges in light of federal funding changes, build relationships with state and local policymakers, and lead the organization toward long-term financial sustainability. Most importantly, they will play a key role in refocusing Unite Oregon on its core mission of grassroots organizing and community power-building. These efforts will be deeply rooted in our organizational values.
About You You are a bold and visionary leader with a deep commitment to social justice, equity, and substantial experience in grassroots organizing. Grounded in the lived experiences of the communities Unite Oregon serves, you bring a strong track record of movement-building, policy advocacy, and nonprofit leadership. You thrive in a multicultural, multilingual environment, fostering inclusion and solidarity across diverse communities.
You thrive on building coalitions that drive lasting impact, forging strong partnerships with policymakers, community organizations, and funders to advance Unite Oregon’s mission. Your leadership is both collaborative and decisive, empowering teams while holding accountability to mission and values, strengthening internal operations, and ensuring long-term sustainability.
With a strategic mindset and a hands-on approach, you excel at leading teams, directing change, and driving impactful campaigns. You lead with integrity, adaptability, accountability, and a relentless drive for justice, ensuring that Unite Oregon remains a powerful force for advocacy and community-led change. Passionate about developing leaders and amplifying community voices, you believe in leading from within—working alongside staff, partners, and community members to create transformative change.
Our next Executive Director will be someone who understands and embraces this complexity, and who can lead an organization rooted in deep relationships, strategic policy advocacy, community power-building, and intersectional equity.
Position Summary/Priorities Unite Oregon is seeking a visionary and strategic Executive Director (ED) to lead an influential social and racial justice organization that unites communities across languages, cultures, and identities to build a more equitable Oregon. The ED will lead a growing team of approximately 50 staff, 80% of whom are Black, Indigenous, People of Color, immigrants and refugees, rural communities, and people experiencing poverty. The ideal candidate is a dynamic communicator, strong leader, and innovative strategist with a deep commitment to social justice, who can effectively navigate Oregon’s evolving political and advocacy landscape.
Under the direction and in partnership with the Board of Directors, while reporting to the Board Co-Chairs, the ED is responsible for implementing the organization’s new strategic plan, strengthening financial sustainability of a $3.6 million budget, $6.1 million of assets to manage, and fostering an inclusive, mission-driven culture.
