ABOUT THE STUART FOUNDATION

The Stuart Foundation is a family foundation dedicated to transforming life outcomes for young people through public education. For nearly four decades, the Foundation has cultivated the conditions for adolescents to thrive in California and Washington state. Established as an independent family foundation in 1985, the Foundation has been committed to transforming systems to realize sustained change from its beginning.

Young people thrive when they can bring their full selves into the world and are engaged and supported as learners and change makers. Three interconnected commitments guide our work: supporting adolescent thriving, advancing equity, and reaffirming the purpose of public education.

We believe that well-resourced and inclusive public education systems underpin vibrant communities, inclusive economies, and a functioning democracy. Public schools should be joyful places where young people are seen, safe, and supported as learners and leaders across all types of difference, including race, class, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, language, and ability. The conditions of young people’s lives – immigration status, zip code, income, or system involvement – should not determine their trajectory or define how they experience school.

To achieve this vision, we must transform our current system to equitably provide engaging and empowering learning opportunities and school environments that center belonging and respect. This kind of public education system is only realized with the shared leadership and authentic engagement of everyone in our education systems and communities, especially young people themselves.

The Stuart Foundation engages with people, programs, systems, and ideas. We leverage our financial resources and social capital to advance a vibrant and just public education system in California that supports all young people to thrive. In addition to grantmaking, we engage in knowledge sharing, narrative change, and relationship building. The Foundation has an asset base of approximately $554 million and annual charitable expenditures of approximately $27 million.

The JPB Foundation seeks a senior leader with a passion for building effective, equitable organizations to serve as our Vice President, People and Culture, a position essential to supporting our expanded strategic direction. The VP will oversee our efforts to attract, hire, develop, and retain the people we need, and more broadly will ensure that we have the capacity and culture to meet our ambitious aims. Given the central importance of this role, the VP will report directly to the Chief of Staff in the Office of the President and will serve as a critical member of the Organizational Leadership Team.

Responsibilities
The VP, People and Culture ensures that the Foundation remains a highly effective, equitable organization as we grow and evolve. Specific responsibilities may change over time but will include:

1. Talent acquisition – Oversee our efforts to identify needs, develop roles, and recruit and select great candidates to fill them.

6. Compensation and benefits design and administration – Oversee the work of the Senior HR Generalist to ensure the smooth functioning of day-to-day HR systems and related functions, and maintain and evolve our compensation structure and package of employee benefits.
7. Developing the role and team – Identify and pursue other ways in which the People and Culture team can contribute to the Foundation’s success and build out the team as needed, possibly adding one or more members to the current two-person team structure.

Qualifications
We are open to candidates from a range of backgrounds. Most importantly, we seek an extremely competent generalist who brings a deep understanding of and passion for building high-performing, equitable, and diverse organizations from having personally built and led one or more organizations or significant portions of them. Ideally, the candidate would also bring grounding in the fields whose work the Foundation seeks to support. The VP need not necessarily bring prior experience working directly in Human Resources, Talent, or a related area, though we of course welcome applicants with that experience.

More specifically we seek someone with:

• Strong instincts and insights, grounded in experience, on the practices and systems required to build, sustain, and grow high-performing organizations;
• Deep commitment to equitable practices and to the importance of racial, gender, and other forms of diversity, grounded in personal and/or professional experiences;
• Significant experience (~7 years or more) managing and leading at a senior level;
• Ideally, experience working in the fields the Foundation currently supports or in adjacent sectors of the social justice community;
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build relationships and trust, have difficult conversations, and collaborate effectively across all levels of the organization;
• The ability to move work forward quickly and effectively, knowing when to bring an entrepreneurial, “get things done” approach and when to “move fast by moving slow;”
• Exceptional problem-solving skills, outstanding judgment and maturity, and adaptability in an ever-changing environment; and
• Deep commitment to advancing the Foundation’s mission and to exemplifying values like strategic rigor, performance excellence, equity, creativity, collaboration, and compassion.

Salary & Benefits

The starting salary range for this position is $270,000 – $300,000 annually.

JPB provides up to $5,000 annually for professional development and the ability to recommend an annual grant of $20,000 to the nonprofit of your choice.
