Director of People & Culture, Democracy Fund
Job Description
Democracy Fund is a foundation working to build an inclusive, multiracial democracy that is open, just, resilient, and trustworthy. Created by eBay founder and philanthropist Pierre Omidyar, Democracy Fund and its partner organization Democracy Fund Voice have committed almost $425 million in grants to support those working to strengthen our democracy. Democracy Fund collaborates with grantees, donors, and other partners to change America’s flawed system by strengthening and expanding the pro-democracy movement, defending against anti-democratic attacks, and advancing structural change. Democracy Fund champions leaders and organizations who defend democracy and challenge our political system to be more open, just, resilient, and trustworthy. We believe that experimentation, learning, and adaptation are key to the health and resilience of any system, whether it is our organization or the American political system. As grantmakers, we focus on listening and being of service to our grantees, who are visionaries and our collaborators, and on ways we can more deeply embed diversity, equity, and inclusion as values central to the success of our work and mission. Since we believe in the power of human connection, we follow a hybrid-remote and in-the-office model, which enables flexibility and encourages collaboration. New staff must reside in the Washington, D.C. metro area (DMV), and all employees are expected in the office for several days every month. The Director of People & Culture will join a talented and evolving team in executing Democracy Fund’s mission to create a more inclusive, multi-racial democracy. Reporting to the Managing Director of People & Culture, the Director of People & Culture will need to be a listener and leader, someone who is both operational and hands-on. They will bring proven experience and expertise in operationalizing people and culture ideas with a systems and process orientation. Democracy Fund is a dynamic, mission-driven philanthropy with a staff of more than 75 people that is committed to centering racial equity in both its external strategies and internal operations. Becoming a valued partner to the team will require understanding the organization, listening, facilitating broad collaboration, and sharing insights and contemporary best practices regarding talent. The call to action is to build strong relationships and processes, to further develop the capabilities across the organization, and to bring operational excellence that enables talent development, retention, and growth. The Director of People & Culture will be part of a team of HR professionals (MD of People, HR Generalist, People Team Coordinator) and must be hands-on, proactive, flexible, collaborative, and innovative in shepherding initiatives that attract, develop, and retain outstanding talent.
