The Moran Company

Executive Director

Munchausen Support

Edmonds, Washington (remote)

 

The Moran Company is pleased to partner with Munchausen Support to recruit the organization's Executive Director.

Organizational Background

Munchausen by Proxy (MBP) is a serious, complex, and widely misunderstood form of medical child abuse. It leaves a wide swath of destruction and trauma for everyone involved, often resulting in lifelong devastation for survivors.

Founded in 2021 in collaboration with some of the world’s top experts on MBP, the Munchausen Support Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing science- and fact-based resources. The Foundation offers critical support for family members in crisis, survivors seeking treatment, and professionals navigating active cases.

Today, the organization offers structured 10-week survivor support groups alongside specialized cohorts, including dedicated groups for fathers and grandparents. In addition to direct peer support, the Munchausen Support Foundation focuses on pioneering research, education for healthcare providers on how to recognize medical abuse, and professional training for proper evaluation and support delivery.

Position Summary

As the Foundation approaches its 5-year milestone, the Board of Directors is seeking a high-caliber, experienced, and visionary leader with a growth mindset to serve as its inaugural Executive Director. This pivotal role is designed for a strategic builder who will guide the organization through its next phase of expansion to deliver deeper, wider support to those impacted by Munchausen by Proxy.

The Executive Director will hold comprehensive responsibility for:

  • Program Oversight: Managing multi-focused programs across advocacy, awareness, education, training, and peer support.
  • Financial Growth: Supervising financial health, building sustainable asset bases, and driving diversified fundraising strategies.
  • Operations: Overseeing day-to-day remote operations, managing consultants, and empowering a dedicated volunteer network.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Leadership & Operational Management

  • Visionary Growth: Develop and execute strategic and operational plans in close alignment with the Board of Directors to scale the Foundation's reach and impact.
  • Team Leadership: Supervise, inspire, and coordinate daily workflows for the Foundation's network of volunteers (including board members) and 2 paid consultants.
  • Compliance: Ensure full legal, ethical, and regulatory compliance for all nonprofit operations.

Community Relations & Program Oversight

  • Public Advocacy: Support the founders and board members in their roles as the public face of the organization, ensuring cohesive and authoritative messaging.
  • Brand Awareness: Enhance the organization's visibility by developing compelling multimedia content, driving social media strategy, and expanding digital communications.
  • Stakeholder Relations: Deepen relationships with current and prospective partners, donors, healthcare professionals, and institutional stakeholders.
  • Programmatic Quality: Provide high-level oversight for peer support groups, research initiatives, and specialized committees (including Training, Research, and Fundraising, Communications, Governance, Finance and Peer Support Groups).

Fundraising & Financial Stewardship

  • Revenue Generation: Design, implement, and drive a comprehensive annual fundraising strategy and timeline to meet aggressive capital benchmarks.
  • Financial Management: Develop, manage, and monitor the Foundation's annual budget to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability.
  • Board Reporting: Partner closely with the Board Treasurer to deliver regular, transparent, and accurate financial reports to the Board of Directors and key stakeholders.

Professional Qualifications & Personal Attributes

  • Mission Alignment: A deep, demonstrable passion for the mission of the Munchausen Support Foundation and a commitment to modeling its core organizational values.
  • Crisis Communication: Exceptional emotional intelligence with the ability to navigate critical, emotionally charged conversations with grace and clarity and resolve.
  • Communication Excellence: Stellar written, verbal, and presentation skills, with a proven ability to articulate complex medical/social issues to diverse audiences.
  • Relationship Building: Proven track record of fostering trust with survivors, family members, peer facilitators, and medical and academic professionals.
  • Fundraising Proven Success: Demonstrated success in donor cultivation, securing gifts, and hitting fundraising benchmarks. Experience with grant writing is highly preferred.
  • Financial Acumen: Strong ability to read, analyze, and explain financial statements, build out budget processes, and maintain rigorous accounting standards.
  • Governance: Experience reporting to or serving on a nonprofit board of directors, with a strong understanding of board development and strategic planning.
  • Trauma-Informed Experience: Sensitivity to, and experience working with, vulnerable or traumatized populations—ideally within crisis intervention, domestic violence, or child abuse prevention.
  • Remote Initiative: A self-starting "big thinker" who thrives in a fully remote environment, turns ambiguity into clarity, and possesses the operational skill set to scale a grassroots foundation.
  • Travel Flexibility: Willingness and ability to travel as needed for conferences, foundational meetings with colleagues or collaborators, and donor engagement and solicitation.
  • Education & Experience: Bachelor’s degree required, paired with a minimum of 3 to 5 years of senior-level nonprofit management experience.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary Range: $100,000 - $105,000 (commensurate with experience)
  • Benefits: Standard benefits including PTO, flexible scheduling, retirement, and healthcare
