Interim Executive Director for Small Nonprofit

Urban Bridges, a small urban nonprofit in Haverhill, MA, seeks to engage an Interim Executive Director for the last quarter of 2025. Our three small and varied programs, housed in a neighborhood church, serve a multi-cultural, multi-lingual community of low-income women, children in families. This position requires a balance of two skill-sets: first, flexible, practical problem-solving to address immediate issues of office management and administrative support to the Program Directors; and second, strategic support for the Board as it envisions sustainable organizational structures and funding sources to support our important mission. The position is structured as an independent contractor, 32 hours per week at $36/hour, starting October 1. Some remote work possible. Potential for future permanent employment or contract renewal. This is an excellent opportunity for nonprofit professionals facing layoffs, or clergy with urban and nonprofit experience who enjoy working with community-oriented programs. Please submit your resume, cover letter, and three references (at least two professional) to: admin@urbanbridges.org

Application Deadline: September 4, 2025
