We bring an innovative investor mindset backed by a decades-long track record to the pursuit of upward economic mobility for individuals and communities. By pooling resources, our Partners can unlock substantial philanthropic capital and invest effectively and efficiently.Anchored by our tested and continuously improving, performance-based investing approach, Blue Meridian makes strategic, long-term investments across multiple portfolios aimed at boosting economic mobility from cradle to career. We support nationwide and place-based strategies to amplify impact across the country and within specific communities. We identify visionary social sector leaders who address key drivers of poverty and invest the flexible, upfront capital they need to dream bigger and exponentially expand their reach, influence, and impact.We are constantly learning, exploring, and seeking out new collaborations in relentless pursuit of creating lasting impact at scale that can change the life trajectories of millions of young people and families in America. Blue Meridian is staffed by an experienced team of results-focused leaders, and we welcome other mission-driven champions to join us.**Position Profile**The Founder and Executive Chair for Blue Meridian Partners is seeking a senior, trusted partner to work closely with across a range of innovation and strategy projects aimed at strengthening the field of philanthropy. These projects include designing and testing new models for aggregating and deploying capital and supporting philanthropists to unlock more resources for economic and social mobility in America — including how technology and AI can accelerate that work. In addition to these field-focused initiatives, the Founder and Executive Chair holds ongoing responsibility for Blue Meridian’s board governance and capital aggregation and remains engaged in select aspects of Blue Meridian's organizational strategy; the Senior Director will support this work as well. The Senior Director is a highly entrepreneurial role for a leader who thrives in a start-up environment — someone who is energized by building from the ground up, moving between vision and execution, and navigating complexity with calm and confidence. You’ll be a strategic thought partner, project driver, and trusted operator that brings ideas to life and ensures that high-potential initiatives move forward with clarity and momentum. While this position is closely connected to Blue Meridian, it is not embedded in the organization’s day-to-day operations. Instead, you’ll work directly with the Executive Chair to advance a portfolio of special initiatives — including efforts to design next-generation capital aggregation vehicles, strengthen philanthropic infrastructure, and enable philanthropists and partners to give collaboratively, confidently, and at scale.**Primary Responsibilities****Career Path Classification**M2 **Position Type**Exempt**Position Location**New York City.
