The Opportunity

Reporting to a 17 person Board of Directors, the next CEO will provide entrepreneurial leadership and will be charged with instilling a strong sense of belonging guided by Jewish values, formulating a new strategic plan with the Board and community, offering innovative programs suited to a changing Northeast Philadelphia, deepening donor and Board relationships, building on KleinLife's financial strength, strengthening internal infrastructure and operations, and promoting KleinLife externally across the Philadelphia social service landscape and with elected officials.

Proven ability to develop, execute, and measure a strategic vision with a Board, staff, and external stakeholders.
A track record recruiting, retaining, and inspiring management teams and employees.
