About Cinereach

Cinereach is a film foundation, production company, and film financier. Over the last 15 years, Cinereach has established itself as a leader in the film world with beautiful, captivating, and award-winning films. As one of the few artist-friendly production houses in the landscape, we understand the value of bold vision, innovation in storytelling, and calculated, values-aligned risks necessary to challenge the status quo and pioneer new media models. From over 200 films financed, to our Artist Fellowships, Independent Producer Awards, and Organizational Support, we have long served as a leading foundation in the independent film space.

Cinereach is growing into a strategy-informed media incubator that will strategically address some of the world’s most important and challenging problems. By bridging our thought leadership and industry influence with effective, entertaining storytelling and an exceptional community of creative collaborators, we will fundamentally reposition media’s role in creating cultural impact, inspiring systems transformation, and influencing and impacting sustainable change.

As we fine-tune and expand our focus as a content company that effectively serves cultural imperatives, we continue to use innovative programmatic tools to produce and leverage content that positions our society to achieve a more just and equitable future. Today, we have expanded our offerings to include:

• Strategy Program: Utilizing a collaborative, systems thinking process — and working with a multidisciplinary external advisory “Strategy Council” — this program will map the cultural and narrative challenges in key focus issue areas (sustainability, justice, and pluralism) and to identify hypotheses for high-impact storytelling. The strategy group delivers these hypotheses to the two creative programs (Workshops and Studio) and leads the organization’s research, testing, and learning functions.

• Workshops Program: The creative experimentation arm of Cinereach, this program assembles and facilitates bespoke workshops to develop original creative concepts and prototypes specific to strategic hypotheses coming out of the strategy group. It collaborates with the measurement and learning staff to test and iterate these concepts.

• Studio Program: As the production arm of Cinereach, this program will develop, produce, acquire, and sell films, TV series, and digital series projects– focusing on delivering shows and content aligned with the strategies tested in the Workshops program.

Now Cinereach is seeking a CEO- the organization’s first- to lead us through this process of transformation and intentional impact. As we position ourselves to fundamentally shift our focus toward bridging content with cultural impact, we welcome an innovative, big-picture thinker who both appreciates and values the inextricable relationship between high-quality creative content and cultural strategy. This is an extraordinary opportunity to join a highly successful organization at a moment of reimagination, growth, and possibility as we position Cinereach as an agent of change toward a more just and equitable society.

• Provide support, mentorship, and growth for Cinereach’s highly talented and creative team

Visionary Leadership

Entrepreneurial by nature, you strive for ambitious outcomes, communicate progress effectively and proactively, and share accountability for both challenges and success. You understand the integral role that the cultural arts play in addressing deeply rooted societal ills and that innovation in storytelling can and will create tremendous cultural impact.

Change Competency

A skilled leader with a track record of leading cultural transformation, you thrive in evolving environments because you are innately entrepreneurial, innovative and adaptable.

Driven by a passion for implementing, executing, and adapting growth-oriented strategic plans, you effectively build support for change initiatives internally and externally. You are not afraid to challenge the status quo when it’s necessary to do so to effectively respond and adapt to our changing social, cultural, and industry landscape.

Lens for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Access

As a leader, you understand that Cinereach flourishes at being a strategy-informed media incubator that designs, aligns, and executes programs that can and will address some of the world’s most important and challenging problems. You recognize that Cinereach is uniquely positioned to amplify its role in addressing equity-based narratives in media, filmmaking, and cultural impact. You lead by example and possess the courage to look inward and recognize that an awareness of conscious and hidden biases—both individual and collective—is a powerful catalyst for impact, action, and change. Powered by a growth-oriented mindset, you possess a strong sense of social-emotional intelligence and the skills necessary to apply inclusive and equitable practices with your team(s), partners, and community.

​About DNDi

The Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) is an international, not-for-profit research and development organization (R&D) that develops lifesaving medicines for people with neglected diseases around the world. We use the power of innovation, open science, partnerships, and advocacy to find solutions to a great injustice: the lack of medicines for life-threatening diseases that disproportionately impact poor and marginalized people.

DNDi was launched in 2003 when five leading research institutes from Brazil, India, Kenya, Malaysia, and France teamed up with Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) to launch an alternative, not-for-profit model for developing drugs for neglected populations. Together, we are proud to have delivered nine new treatments for six diseases that have saved millions of lives – and we aim to deliver a total of 25 treatments by 2028.

DNDi has built a team of approximately 250 employees working across nine offices.

In 2021, DNDi released an ambitious new Strategic Plan 2021-2028, which outlined a funding goal of $1.3 billion, of which nearly $830 million has already been secured, primarily from governments, major philanthropic foundations, innovative financing mechanisms, and founding partners. As part of this strategy, DNDi aims to diversify its funding base and is investing in increasing private philanthropic fundraising capabilities with the ambition of raising at least $40 million in new philanthropic funding by 2028.

The Organization

Tiger Foundation is a private foundation established in 1990 by Julian H. Robertson, Jr., Chairman of Tiger Management, L.L.C. His goals in creating the Foundation were to support non-profit organizations in New York City working to break the cycle of poverty and to encourage active, informed philanthropy among the investment staff at the company. The Foundation’s board consists primarily of investment sector professionals who have previously been or currently are affiliated with Tiger Management. Board members not only commit their personal financial resources to the Foundation but are also actively engaged in the grantmaking process. Since its inception, Tiger Foundation has provided more than $300M in grants to high-performing community-based organizations that serve individuals and families in New York City’s lowest-income communities (roughly $18M in funding was awarded in 2021). Tiger’s grantmaking is concentrated solely in the five boroughs of New York City and focuses on the areas of education, economic opportunity, family support, criminal justice, and youth opportunity. Increasingly, there is a focus on funding early-stage programs and/or replication opportunities.

Position Overview

Tiger Foundation is seeking a full-time Program Officer to work directly with the Tiger Foundation board, President, and program staff and to play a significant role in the Foundation’s work in New York City. The Program Officer’s primary responsibilities will be to manage a portion of Tiger’s existing portfolio of highperforming non-profit grantees and to introduce a limited number of new grants each year, engaging Tiger Foundation’s highly active board throughout the grantmaking process. Tiger Foundation’s grantmaking focuses on organizations that provide direct services to low-income New Yorkers, elevating the strongest performers in each sector we fund, with a focus on excellent leadership and exemplary outcomes.

The Program Officer will be a strategic and analytical thinker and excellent communicator who thrives as part of a collegial team that is passionate about providing philanthropic support to high-performing non-profit organizations.

• Screen incoming proposals and analyze programmatic and financial information from non-profit organizations; includes ongoing review and communication with 15-20 renewal grantees/year to ensure continued stability and impact in addition to due diligence and communication with potential new grantees; follow grantee progress via periodic check-ins, follow-up questions, and review of interim and final reports
• Schedule and conduct site visits and meetings with renewal and prospective grantees so Foundation staff and trustees can learn about organizations’ work, impact, financial health, and future plans, which will inform grant recommendations and overall grant strategy
• Work closely on grant reviews with Foundation trustees who are highly involved in each grant decision; includes preparing and sharing background materials ahead of meetings, engaging in calls/meetings throughout grant review processes, incorporating trustees’ questions and perspective in follow-up process, and empowering trustees to drive grant recommendations
• Prepare written evaluations and grant recommendations for new and renewal grants
• Present grant recommendations and field questions from board members at ~18 board meetings (3 Full Board and 15 Program Committee meetings) annually, typically held from 5-7pm on Tuesday evenings
• Research policies, context, and emerging opportunities related to the Foundation’s funding areas
• Assist in preparation of materials for use in Full Board meetings and Program Committee meetings; includes memos and decks on public policies and events impacting the Foundation’s funding areas and performance analysis tools created for board and staff reference and education
• Work with Foundation trustees and program team to establish funding priorities and allocate annual budget among grant applicants
• Any other duties appropriate for the position that may be assigned from time to time by the Program Officer’s supervisors

Preferred Qualifications & Competencies

• 10+ years work experience with progressive levels of responsibility, ideally with demonstrated experience in the non-profit and/or public sector in NYC
• Knowledgeable about challenges and opportunities in the non-profit sector; ability to learn and embrace the Foundation’s grantmaking approach and to approach partnerships with grantees with humility and respect
• Ideally, demonstrated expertise/knowledge of NYC non-profit sector as it relates to one or more of our program areas (education, criminal justice, youth development, family support, or workforce training), though the Program Officer will be a generalist
• Demonstrated experience in financial analysis (includes ability to interpret non-profit budgets and financial statements)
• Outstanding analytical and critical thinking skills; results-oriented approach with an appreciation for data-driven decision-making
• Excellent written and oral communication and presentation skills
• Strongly team-oriented; interest in collaborating and working behind the scenes; views success as a product of the team
