Senior Human Resources Professional - Guiding Leadership Growth and Systemic Reform at San Quentin Skunkworks

Join the incarcerated-led innovation lab partnering with the Governor’s Office, eL Seed, FaithXLVII, and other visionaries to shape the leadership culture driving the future of justice reform.

Why This Matters

San Quentin SkunkWorks is redefining how reform happens — bringing world-class coaches, educators, and strategists together inside prison walls to co-create the future of justice.

Our work has been featured on the front page of the LA Times and profiled by CalMatters as a model for system-wide transformation. Supported by leading foundations and civic partners, we’re proving that incarcerated creators aren’t the subjects of reform — they’re the architects of it.

Your Role

We’re seeking an experienced human resources professional to help shape and drive the organization's people operations initiatives. This role is ideal for someone who can apply deep knowledge of HR best practices in a mission driven environment.

You’ll join a community of senior professionals from blue-chip tech companies, high-impact startups, world-renowned artists, and leading researchers — people who bring the same rigor, empathy, and vision that you do.

Bonus: experience in nonprofit leadership, education reform, or restorative justice environments.

The Impact

Your work will shape the leadership culture transforming the most famous prison in America — influencing how policymakers, media, and the public understand incarcerated leadership.

This isn’t volunteer mentoring. It’s leadership architecture for a movement.
