Operations Director / VP of Operations

‍Consultants for Impact (CFI) is a nonprofit dedicated to helping consultants channel their skills and careers toward meaningful social impact. We're hiring a senior operations leader to build and lead a best-in-class operations department, one that establishes the foundation to achieve our most ambitious goals.

As our most senior operations leader, you'll join our energetic five-person team at a pivotal moment. CFI is growing rapidly and anticipates spinning out from our fiscal sponsor to become an independent 501(c)(3). In this role, you'll first build our operations infrastructure from the ground up, establishing best practices across finance, HR, grant operations, technology, compliance, and risk management. Once the organization is ready, you'll then guide us through the process of becoming an independent organization. Beyond the spin-out, you'll be a key strategic voice as we scale, helping us find operational solutions for large-scale in-person and / or digital programs, and modeling the kind of steady, thoughtful leadership that makes change feel manageable.

We’re looking for someone who can operate independently and comfortably in ambiguity, who has built or significantly scaled operations at a nonprofit or startup, and who wants to do meaningful work at a place that takes both impact and people seriously.

If we get this right, CFI will emerge from this period as a fully independent, operationally excellent organization, and you'll have helped build it. We're looking for someone who finds that prospect genuinely exciting.

Application Deadline: rolling until July 5th, 2026, at the end of the day (23:59) Anywhere on Earth (UTC-12:00). We may close the round earlier if we receive a high volume of qualified applicants.
