Founded in 1974, Stone House is a comprehensive, trauma-informed nonprofit organization dedicated to caring for and protecting adult and child survivors of domestic abuse, helping them rebuild safe, secure, and independent lives of purpose and self-fulfillment. Rooted in the neighborhoods of Roxbury, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, Mattapan, and Hyde Park, Stone House combines the security of a safe environment with a full continuum of residential and community-based programs that support trauma recovery, personal growth, and essential life-skill development.
Stone House offers emergency shelter, housing stabilization, and community support services. The organization provides comprehensive case management across all programs, including crisis intervention, benefits and legal assistance, employment and education guidance, and advocacy. Stone House is a proud member of Jane Doe Inc., the Massachusetts Coalition Against Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence.
Over the past several years, Stone House has undergone significant growth. The 2026 budget is $4.5M. A new $27M facility at One Westminster Avenue in Egleston Square opened in 2021. We are now advancing plans for a second building at 7-9 Westminster Terrace. This addition will merge the current emergency shelter site with the rest of the campus. As a multifaceted organization managing a complex mix of government contracts, LIHTC and NMTC financing structures, and an affiliated Early Learning Center, Stone House is at an important inflection point in its evolution.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Stone House seeks a dynamic, mission-driven, and externally oriented Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to lead the organization into its next chapter of growth and impact. This is a pivotal moment: the organization has meaningfully expanded its physical footprint and service capacity and is now poised to strengthen its fundraising infrastructure, deepen community partnerships, and build the financial resilience to sustain and grow its mission in a complex and evolving funding environment.
The CEO will step into an organization with strong foundations: an experienced and committed senior leadership team and an engaged board that is actively growing its fundraising culture. The incoming CEO will build on this momentum, elevating Stone House's visibility, bringing new relationships and resources to the organization, and providing the strategic leadership to carry the mission forward with clarity and confidence.
Stone House has meaningful philanthropic momentum to build on: a Chief Development Officer (CDO) with deep expertise and strong community ties, a board that recently achieved 100% giving participation and completed Fundraising 101 training, and an engaged base of individual donors, foundation partners, and corporate sponsors. The incoming CEO will bring the external relationships and ambassadorial presence to take this foundation to the next level.
The CEO will provide visible, relationship-driven leadership that elevates Stone House's brand, secures philanthropic investment, and deepens its presence among Boston's corporate, civic, and governmental communities while defining and clarifying the vital role the organization plays in the communities we serve.
The CEO reports to Stone House's Board of Directors.

Casa Myrna believes every relationship should be safe and healthy. We work to end domestic and dating violence and commercial sexual exploitation through intervention, awareness, and prevention.
Founded in 1977 by community activists in Boston’s South End, Casa Myrna was created as a refuge for women and children escaping abuse from their husbands and partners. The organization is named after Myrna Vázquez (1935–1975), a trailblazing actress and activist who mobilized Boston’s Puerto Rican community around critical issues like housing, education, and civil rights. Today, we are Boston’s largest provider of comprehensive, survivor-centered supports, including emergency shelter, housing, counseling, legal advocacy, economic stability, crisis intervention, and prevention education. We operate SafeLink, Massachusetts’ 24/7 statewide domestic violence hotline. Casa Myrna also raises visibility of and works to prevent domestic and dating violence by educating teens and adults through workshops, seminars, trainings, social media, and media engagement.
With a staff of more than 100, multiple sites, and an annual budget of approximately $11 million, Casa Myrna supports thousands of individuals and families each year and plays a critical role in advancing policy, awareness, and systems change across Massachusetts.
Casa Myrna is deeply committed to equity, inclusion, and trauma-informed practice. We center the voices and experiences of survivors and work in partnership with communities disproportionately impacted by violence and systemic inequities.
THE POSITION
Casa Myrna’s next CEO will have the opportunity to build upon an exceptional foundation. The organization's current CEO is leaving behind a strong, visible, and well-resourced organization after thirteen years of remarkable growth. The next leader will bring an exciting vision for reaching more survivors, supporting them more deeply, preventing abuse before it occurs, ending abuse in our communities, and advancing the organization's next chapter.
Reporting to the Board of Directors, the CEO will provide strategic, operational, and external leadership across a complex, multi-program organization by strengthening internal infrastructure, deepening culture and trust, enhancing program quality, and expanding funding and partnerships. Government contracts represent the majority of Casa Myrna's funding; the CEO must bring demonstrated expertise in acquiring and managing large government contracts and ensuring compliance across a complex, multi-funder portfolio.
This is a highly visible, relationship-driven role for a leader who is equally at home guiding internal organizational evolution and serving as a compelling public ambassador. The ideal candidate brings an informed passion for ending domestic violence and sexual exploitation, a record of accomplishment leading complex organizations, and the humility and humor to lead alongside a deeply committed team.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION
The vision of the National Council for Mental Wellbeing is to make mental wellbeing, including recovery from substance use challenges, a reality for everyone. Despite overwhelming need, nearly 30 million people across the U.S. do not have access to comprehensive mental health and substance use treatment.
Founded in 1969, the National Council is a 501(c)(3) membership organization that drives policy and social change on behalf of more than 3,100 mental health and substance use treatment organizations and the more than 10 million children, adults and families they serve. We advocate for policies to ensure equitable access to high-quality services. We build the capacity of mental health and substance use treatment organizations. And we promote greater understanding of mental wellbeing as a core component of comprehensive health and health care. Through our Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) program, we have trained more than 4.5 million people in the U.S. to identify, understand and respond to signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges.
The National Council is growing to meet this moment. With an annual budget of $80 million, we've more than doubled our dedicated team to 240+ employees since 2020. Although we have office space in Washington, D.C., we operate as a remote-first organization, with employees working from their various locations across the United States.
DEPARTMENT SUMMARY
The Enterprise Technology Department enables the National Council’s mission by delivering and supporting the technology platforms that power our programs and operations. Partnering cross-functionally, the team ensures systems are secure, integrated, and reliable, so the National Council can scale its impact and better serve communities nationwide.
POSITION SUMMARY
As the Director, Learning Delivery Systems, you will be the primary solutions architect and technology leader for the learning platforms that power the National Council’s programs — including our flagship MHFA program. You will own the technical strategy and multi-year roadmap for the systems that enable the delivery, administration, and evaluation of learning experiences across the organization, ensuring they are scalable, secure, accessible, and delightful to use.
This is a pivotal moment for the Learning Delivery Systems team. You will lead the build and implementation of a new target-state learning ecosystem, which represents a major platform expansion designed to serve not only MHFA but the full breadth of the National Council’s training programs and clients. At the same time, you will manage a thoughtful transition away from the organization’s legacy platform, ensuring continuity of service for current business needs throughout the migration.
This role requires a leader with strong technical fluency and meaningful experience working with or leading software development, application delivery, cloud-based platforms, and systems integration. You should be able to guide technical architecture, evaluate application designs, understand APIs and data flows, assess technical tradeoffs, and make informed decisions about the platform. You bring an extensive knowledge of e-learning technologies, standards, and workflows, and have applied that knowledge to shape platform strategy, architecture, and development across multiple LMS environments.
You will bring a track record of delivering complex, cross-functional platform solutions and the leadership judgment to guide teams through ambiguity, competing priorities, and change. You will partner closely with program leaders, internal technology teams, and third-party vendors to turn learning strategy into reliable, measurable technology outcomes, advancing mental wellbeing for millions of people.
The Director, Learning Delivery Systems reports to the Vice President, Enterprise Technology, and directly manages a team of 3.
WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE DISTINCT
Most LMS Director roles focus on platform administration, configuration, and vendor management. This role is different. The National Council is building a new learning platform from the ground up, and this Director must be capable of:
Designing the software architecture of a cloud-native LMS on AWS, not just managing or configuring one
Evaluating and directing vendor-delivered technical work, including reviewing application designs and holding development teams accountable to architectural standards
Making consequential decisions about system design, e-learning standards implementation, API architecture, and data and security patterns
Leading a team through a complex legacy-to-modern platform migration while maintaining continuity for thousands of active learners
Candidates with strong LMS administration backgrounds but without software development or architecture experience will not be competitive for this role. Equally, strong developers without meaningful learning technology experience will face a steep learning curve this role cannot accommodate; you need both.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Platform Strategy & Solutions Architecture
Serve as solutions architect for the organization’s learning delivery platforms, ensuring scalability, security, accessibility, performance, and strong user experiences.
Establish and maintain a multi-year technology roadmap for learning delivery systems, aligned to organizational strategy and the needs of multiple business lines.
Guide architecture decisions for cloud-based and integrated learning platforms, including build-versus-buy analysis, APIs, identity/access management, CRM integration, data flows, analytics, security, scalability, reliability, maintainability, and cost considerations.
Apply extensive knowledge of e-learning technologies and standards, learning workflows, analytics, and reporting to shape platform strategy, architecture, and development in support of program, curriculum, client, instructor, learner, and organizational outcomes.
Provide technical direction to vendor development resources, ensuring solutions meet business, security, accessibility, and operational requirements.
Partner with internal technology teams to integrate learning delivery systems into the broader tech stack (e.g., identity/access management, CRM, data/analytics, communications).
Platform Delivery & Operations
Lead the design, implementation, configuration, and administration of learning delivery platforms and supporting services.
Coordinate with vendor development resources to ensure work is well-scoped, technically sound, appropriately tested, and delivered in alignment with business priorities, timelines, budget, and quality expectations.
Manage scope, schedule, resources, budget, and risk for platform releases, enhancements, and operational improvements.
Define and enforce standards for quality, accessibility, privacy/security, documentation, and support readiness for all releases.
Lead continuous improvement initiatives informed by user feedback, performance data, and evolving business needs.
Vendor & Stakeholder Management
Manage relationships and contracts with third-party software providers, ensuring value, accountability, and alignment with organizational standards.
Evaluate and hold vendors technically accountable, including reviewing application designs and architecture for quality, standards compliance, and alignment with platform direction.
Translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders to align program, business, and technology priorities.
People Leadership
Oversee a team with 3 direct reports, providing a safe and welcoming team environment and ensuring employee growth and development by providing regular coaching, guidance, and feedback.
Establish and track team goals, timelines, and deliverables, and ensure alignment with organizational and departmental strategic goals.
Take ownership and accountability for decisions made by direct reports.
In partnership with the National Council’s human resources leadership, determine performance ratings, recommend compensation (merit increases) for direct reports, and manage performance issues if necessary.
QUALIFICATIONS
There are many paths to the skills and perspective this role requires. We take a broad view of experience and want to get to know you and the unique strengths you bring to this work. We are most likely to be interested in your candidacy if you can demonstrate the majority of the qualifications below.

Demonstrated hands-on experience with software development, application delivery, and systems integration. Experience working directly with or leading development teams on cloud-based platforms, not only administering or configuring them.

Deep working knowledge of e-learning standards (SCORM, xAPI/Tin Can, LTI, AICC) as implemented in software, including how these standards are built into a platform.
Experience with multiple LMS platforms and the ability to apply that cross-platform knowledge to shape architecture decisions and platform strategy.
Experience guiding architecture decisions for cloud-based platforms on AWS (or equivalent), including APIs, data flows, security, scalability, reliability, and cost considerations.
Platform & Delivery Leadership
7+ years of experience delivering and/or technically leading enterprise software products, digital platforms, or SaaS-based ecosystems.
Experience leading platform delivery governance across the full SDLC, including requirements definition, solution design review, QA/UAT, release/change management, and operational readiness.

About Cinereach
For two decades, Cinereach has been a home for visionary storytellers and groundbreaking ideas in independent film. Today, Cinereach is evolving as a storytelling studio—a creative catalyst that seeds and amplifies stories when and where they matter most.
Our mission is to connect creators with the insights, movements, platforms, and resources they need to make, and move, culture through story. We work at the intersection of storytelling and the systems around it, helping creators and narrative practitioners navigate AI, emerging distribution platforms, shifting economics, and changing ecosystems.
The Opportunity
Cinereach is seeking a Chief Strategy and Growth Officer to help lead the organization into its next chapter. Reporting to the CEO and serving as a member of the executive team, this role leads Cinereach’s strategic direction and growth agenda, with Partnerships, Business Development, and Brand and Marketing reporting into it.
This is not a traditional strategic planning role and it is not a role for someone whose contribution ends at the framework. Cinereach already has deep strategic thinkers, strong foresight instincts, and rich cultural and narrative expertise across the organization. What this role adds is the ability to turn insight into action: to translate where the field is moving into partnerships that get struck, new revenue that gets built, and a brand and community that grow measurably.
The work spans three connected dimensions. Strategic direction means using foresight, market analysis, and cultural and narrative analysis to chart where things are moving and where Cinereach should place its bets. New revenue and business development means building toward real revenue, from partnerships to potential service lines for creators and narrative infrastructure, including up to one-third of revenue from new sources within two to three years. And activation means turning all of it into execution rather than frameworks alone.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic Direction & Positioning:
Drive and refine strategic direction based on cultural intelligence tools, market analysis, foresight, and ecosystem signals.
Develop strategic insight and planning frameworks, and decision tools that guide leadership choices across the organization.
Clarify Cinereach’s positioning in the broader landscape: where we are uniquely suited to lead, where partnership is the better path, and what we should stop, evolve, or sunset.
Formalize the planning and insights function so external signals are regularly translated into actionable choices for leadership and CEO decision-making.
Growth, Business Development & New Revenue:
Own a growth agenda that translates into measurable new revenue, including up to one-third of revenue from new sources within two to three years.
Identify, test, and launch mission-aligned growth tracks including partnerships, content offerings, and service models for creators, that deepen relevance and support long-term organizational health.
Lead partnerships where they decidedly become business development: co-created ventures, transactions, and revenue-bearing relationships.
Think holistically about the pipeline across Cinereach’s revenue lines, philanthropy, fund and investment activity, and new service models, so the organization can sequence and resource its bets.
Brand, Communications & Thought Leadership:
Lead the next phase of Cinereach’s brand and communications strategy, ensuring messaging, positioning, audience strategy, and marketing funnels support both mission and growth.
Build a thought leadership platform that strengthens Cinereach’s influence in the field, turning insight into visibility, trust, and strategic differentiation.
Oversee how Cinereach communicates what it uniquely offers and why it matters now, across creators, partners, funders, and broader audiences.
Community, Learning & Activation:
Build and deepen relationships with key constituencies, creators, storytellers, partners, funders, investors, technologists, and people using narrative as a tool for impact.
Design content experiences that help creators address meaningful challenges and build capability over time, including navigating AI and emerging platforms.
Build community engagement strategies that increase participation and create durable network effects around Cinereach’s work.
Convert strategy into execution: move from framing to accountable next steps, and ensure ideas become things that ship.
Partnership with the CEO, Board & Team:
Serve as a close thought partner to the CEO and leadership team, synthesizing emerging ideas and external signals into actionable strategic choices.
Bring rigor, pattern recognition, and scenario thinking to the organization’s next chapter, converting vision into roadmaps, priorities, and planning inputs.
Support the CEO in preparing strategic context for the board, and help board members and champions activate their networks in support of Cinereach’s strategy.
What Success Looks Like in Year One
In the first 12 months, success will be defined by tangible movement—partnerships in motion, early revenue signals, and a sharper brand–alongside a planning and insights function that genuinely supports decision-making.
A set of credible growth tracks has been identified and prioritized, with at least one experiment or pilot launched and showing early traction or a revenue signal.
At least one new partnership or business-development relationship has moved from concept toward execution.
Cinereach has a clear next-phase communications and brand strategy, with stronger marketing funnels and a thought leadership platform in motion.
There is a clear strategy for constituency-building, with at least one learning initiative designed and tested.
The planning and insights function supports a regular cadence of signals, synthesis, and decisions—measured by the choices it enables, not the apparatus it creates.
Qualifications
You are a builder and operator who thinks strategically—someone who has personally closed partnerships, launched new offerings or business lines, and worked through messy, zero-to-one problems, not just designed the plans for others to run.
There are many paths to the skills and perspective this role requires. We take a broad view of experience and want to get to know the unique strengths you bring to this work. We are most likely to be interested in your candidacy if you can demonstrate the majority of the qualifications below.
A strong bias toward action: if it came to a trade-off, an ability to deliver on activation matters as much as strategic thinking. We prioritize candidates whose strategy is evident in what they have built and shipped.
15+ years in senior strategic and/or leadership roles across entertainment, media, technology, consulting, and/or mission-driven organizations.
A demonstrated track record of personally driving growth and new revenue—closing partnerships, structuring deals, and launching new products, services, or business lines.
Significant experience in strategic communications, brand strategy, audience development, or marketing.
A track record of leading organizational transformation, long-range strategy, or growth initiatives in dynamic environments.
Deep understanding of media and technology ecosystems, including how storytelling, creators, platforms, and emerging technologies interact.
Demonstrated acuity with how AI is reshaping the media landscape, including both opportunities and risks for creators, storytelling, and distribution.
Fluency across both commercial and mission-driven contexts—bringing for-profit growth instincts while holding cultural and narrative signals as seriously as market ones.
Experience leading teams and influencing at the executive level across functions.
Comfort operating in a remote, distributed environment with high collaboration, high trust, and strong communication across distance.
Also valuable: experience with fundraising, philanthropic partnerships, or capital strategy; startup or early-stage experience, especially in zero-to-one environments; and experience navigating the cold-start problem.
If you are genuinely excited about this role but your experience does not meet every single qualification, we encourage you to apply anyway.

Read LessABOUT THE ORGANIZATION
Public Rights Project (PRP) is a public interest legal nonprofit, headquartered in Oakland, with a remote team based throughout the United States. Our mission is to help local government officials fight for civil rights.
Since its founding in 2017, PRP has litigated in more than 100 cases (either as a party or amicus), trained 131 prosecutors and government lawyers in 24 states, built a partner network of over 670 government offices, elected officials, and community-based organizations in 43 states, and secured court victories on police accountability, abortion, immigrant, worker, and voting rights.
PRP supports local government partners in the face of an onslaught of federal and state abuses of power. We provide direct representation, legal analysis, research, training, and community partnerships to help local governments develop strategies that protect their residents’ civil rights.

The Deputy Chief will ensure excellence and efficiency in their crucial work to protect rights across America.
This is a primarily internal, process-oriented role with external-facing components. The Deputy Chief will lead a developing program operations function, driving the systems, processes, and tools that allow our legal and program teams to scale their impact across a complex, multi-state practice. The position requires a seasoned public interest lawyer who can work hands-on across multiple workstreams, manage complex workflows, and provide strategic oversight to ensure the highest quality legal work and impact for the communities we serve.

About Reach Out and Read:
Reach Out and Read gives young children a foundation for success and reaches 4.6 million children across the country – half of whom identify as BIPOC and two thirds of whom come from low-income families. The nonprofit recently set a strategic goal to double its impact by 2030, to serve 10 million young children — 50 percent of all U.S. children from birth to 5.
In partnership with a network of clinicians, Reach Out and Read leverages the near-universal reach of the pediatric well-child visit. It uses children’s books and shared reading to support parents and caregivers in strengthening healthy relationships with their infants and young children from birth through 5 years old.
Reach Out and Read works directly with pediatric care providers to share the lifelong benefits of parents reading aloud with their children daily. Nurturing, language-rich interactions like shared reading give young children a foundation for success — building early language and literacy skills; teaching curiosity, patience, and empathy; and creating deep bonds between parents and their children. By integrating our evidence-based model into pediatric care and providing the tools and encouragement families need to read aloud together, we can transform pediatric care practices, foster healthy families and communities, and give children of all backgrounds and means a better start to life.
The Impact:
Reach Out and Read program sites are located in 6,500 clinics, safety net hospitals, medical systems, and other healthcare settings in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Reach Out and Read serves 4.6 million children and their families annually.
More than 7.7 million new, developmentally appropriate books are integrated into well-child visits with families annually.
39,000 clinicians currently participate in Reach Out and Read
Our peer-reviewed body of evidence demonstrates that Reach Out and Read parents are two-and-a-half times more likely to read regularly to their children, and that children experiencing Reach Out and Read show enhanced language development.
