About the role
The Executive Director serves as HOPE's chief executive and strategic leader, partnering closely with the Board of Directors to set direction, ensure financial strength, and champion organizational effectiveness.

Who we're looking for
- You bring 5+ years of senior nonprofit leadership experience, ideally as an Executive Director or equivalent in an organization with a budget of $1.5M or more.
- You're a builder — of teams, systems, and coalitions — and you lead with both accountability and compassion.
- Experience working with unhoused populations, trauma-informed care, and knowledge of Boulder County's nonprofit ecosystem are a strong plus.
- A demonstrated commitment to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion is essential.
