About the Role

The Company is seeking a Managing Director for Community Holistic Defense, a senior leadership role that is pivotal in overseeing the quality, consistency, and impact of the organization's core defense model. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading an interdisciplinary team of attorneys, case managers, outreach workers, and community partners, ensuring that every client receives high-quality, culturally responsive representation grounded in holistic and restorative justice practices. This role demands a strategic and hands-on leader who can set the vision for community holistic defense, develop and implement a strategic plan, and build and lead a high-performing team. Immediate priorities include establishing clear standards for the defense framework, the role of case managers and outreach workers, and in-person investigative work to ensure legal representation is responsive to the communities served. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of and commitment to holistic defense, a Juris Doctorate, and be licensed to practice law in the State of Illinois. They should have at least 10 years of experience as a criminal law practitioner, with a strong background in juvenile and/or adult courts, and a minimum of 6 years in management and leadership within a nonprofit criminal justice organization. Experience with restorative justice practices, including peace circles, and a proven track record in fundraising, grant writing, or donor relations are also essential. The role requires a leader who can speak credibly in policy conversations, is comfortable working with researchers and data systems, and has a strong supervisory and team-building track record. The candidate should be familiar with the Cook County court system and its stakeholders, and have experience in public speaking, media engagement, or policy advocacy.
