Executive Director | TGR Foundation
Job Title: Executive Director
Location: Augusta, GA | Onsite
Organization: TGR Foundation
Description:
This is not a traditional nonprofit Executive Director role, and it is not a site-management job. TGR Foundation is hiring the founding leader who will build and own an entire market – from the ground up – as a flagship node in a growing national system.
The Executive Director is entrepreneur, fundraiser, civic leader, program operator, and national partner, rolled into one. You will stand up the Lab before the doors open: hiring the local team, establishing the local board and advisory council, securing the multi-million-dollar local funding base, and forging the education, corporate, philanthropic, and community partnerships that make the Lab a fixture of its city.
Once open, you will run a high-performing learning lab: delivering programming with excellence, representing the Foundation publicly, cultivating a donor and partner portfolio, and working shoulder-to-shoulder with national teams in programs, development, marketing, and operations to keep local impact and national strategy aligned.
We are looking for a builder. Someone who has started, scaled, or transformed something meaningful – and who is energized by the messiness of 0→1 and the discipline of 1→scale. Someone comfortable closing a six- or seven-figure gift in the morning, coaching a program manager at lunch, and sitting across from a superintendent or CEO in the afternoon.
Salary: $154,000 - $180,000
