Senior Catalyst

Who We Are

Point b(e) Strategies is a woman-of-color-owned-and-operated social change strategy consulting firm that was founded in 2016. We envision a world where resources, wealth, and power are accessed and held equitably and individuals and communities have what they need. As consultants, we are doing our part to build this world by supporting our clients in the work they do to create spaces with more equity, inclusion, and belonging for individuals, families, and communities.

We partner with nonprofits, grantmakers/philanthropic organizations, city and state agencies, and institutes of higher education to provide strategic, outcomes-driven consulting that challenges organizations to center equity, authentically engage community, and assess organizational identity and position within the world. Our work includes strategic planning, program design and evaluation, board governance, change management facilitation, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion support, strategic grant support, and training.

We work with more than 50 organizations per year, including: Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, Salt Lake City Public Library, The Women’s Foundation of Colorado, Denver Food Rescue, Barton Institute for Community Action, the City and County of Denver, the Center for Disaster Philanthropy, Maiker Housing Partners, the Tahoe Fund, Colorado Mountain College, Adventure Risk Challenge, and RefugePoint—just to name a few!

Our team members embody deep commitments to social change and draw on their extensive content and sector expertise to address the complexities of the social change sector.

The Role

In 2026, we are excited to welcome a new, full-time Senior Catalyst to the team. A Catalyst is “something (a substance, person, or event) that speeds up a process or reaction without being used up or permanently changed itself, often by lowering the energy needed to start it, making it more efficient and faster.” We call our team members Catalysts because we hope that our work catalyzes change for our clients—and for our communities.

You are our ideal candidate if you consider yourself a bit of a strategic nonprofit generalist—having spent at least four years working directly for, in, and with community, and bringing along your broad knowledge of the social change sector. As a Senior Catalyst, you will likely lead or be staffed on five to seven projects at a time, contributing your expertise to ensure work is responsive to client needs and drives toward intended outcomes. You will be expected to utilize your expertise to support in the design and facilitation of strategic, effective, and engaging meetings; the creation of high-quality reports and deliverables; the design and implementation of authentic community engagement processes; the delivery of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion initiatives, and the management and oversight of complex projects.

While we don’t require the team to be in the office every day, this is a Denver-based position with expectations for in-person client engagements and internal meetings. As such, we will not consider out-of-state applicants unless you are willing/able to relocate (relocation costs will not be covered/reimbursed). Most of our work happens during traditional business hours (Monday–Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.), but occasional evening and weekend hours may be required.

Who You Are

This role is ideally suited for someone who has spent significant time in the social change/nonprofit sector, and who can confidently guide both in-person and virtual engagements with a diverse group of clients. Our work ranges from strategic planning to program evaluation, complex project management, community engagement, board governance consulting, training, and beyond! Senior Catalysts have opportunities to work on a variety of projects, following our strengths-based staffing approach.

You are the ideal candidate if you have served in a leadership role within a nonprofit or similar organization, have lived and learned experience in justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI), have demonstrated facilitation expertise, and are committed to dismantling structures in the social change sector that perpetuate white supremacy.

You will excel in this role if you can self-manage and produce exceptional deliverables and can work collaboratively with a group of authentic and badass people who get things done!
