The Organization

First 5 LA is focused on improving the lives of children prenatal to age 5, their families and communities in Los Angeles County, particularly those facing the greatest inequities and opportunities – and we are seeking a champion dedicated to this mission to serve as our next Executive Director (ED).  We focus on systems change – advancing policy and practice change within county and community systems and building collective will among multiple and diverse stakeholders to improve outcomes for young children.

Established as a result of the voter-approved California Children and Families Act (Proposition 10) of 1998, First 5 LA is an independent public agency mandated to achieve results that improve the lives of children, prenatal to age 5, and their families. Our independence allows us the flexibility to design and test new ways of doing work and implement innovative strategies that strengthen child- and family- serving systems and prioritize resources to young children, their families and communities most in-need.

Since our inception, we have invested more than $2 billion in county and community efforts to improve conditions for young children and families. The FY 2022-23 budget of $105.9 million makes First 5 LA one of the largest investors in early childhood wellbeing in the country. In addition to dedicated Prop 10 funds, we have continued to diversify our revenue, attracting over $24.5 million in other public and private resources in the last four fiscal years, and successfully securing State and LA County support of programs and services previously piloted or fully funded by First 5 LA.

First 5 LA has the financial resources; deep relationships with parents, residents and community leaders; partnerships with the diverse family-serving public systems throughout LA County, and 24 years of experience and learning. We are grounded in the values of Collaboration, Integrity, Learning, and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion that imbue our work with one another and alongside community; governed by a Board confident in First 5 LA’s strategic direction; and led by a team of mission-driven, passionate, adaptive, and capable professionals. All these assets put us in a unique position to make meaningful progress toward our highest aspirations for children, their families, and communities in the years ahead.

With 118 budgeted positions, and a racially and ethnically diverse team that reflects the diversity within the communities across the county.  First 5 LA is an employer of choice with a high retention rate. For more information about the organization, visit https://www.first5la.org/.

Position Overview

Our next ED is tasked to build upon the organization’s strong strategic foundation and accelerate our influence and impact.  In collaboration with the Board of Commissioners and the First 5 LA team, the ED leads our vision, overall strategy and direction as we strive to advance systems change (policy, practice, community norm change) within child- and family-serving systems in LA County and beyond.
The ED will bring strategic and visionary leadership; have a track record of success in organizational and change management; be skilled at communicating with and building effective relationships and coalitions across a wide array of public, philanthropic and community partners; and understand and model the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in all aspects of their work.

Ideal Candidate
First 5 LA’s next ED will be an experienced, people-centric, results-focused and collegial leader who is passionate about First 5 LA’s mission and strategic direction.  They will exhibit strategic, inclusive and adaptive leadership, systems thinking, strong “plain speak” communications skills, change management practices, and people management skills.  They will embrace the use and power of data and parent voice to call attention to issues and drive systems-level change.  They will bring a strong orientation to fiscal stewardship, the strategic use of public funds, and growing state and county investments in the outcomes we seek for young children and families.

The ideal candidate is an active listener, a team builder, and proactive collaborator who fosters a culture of belonging, healing and trust and is committed to DEI as a personal and professional journey of self-reflection and deliberate improvement. And, the individual will possess a high level of emotional intelligence to cultivate and maintain trusting relationships with both internal and external stakeholders and partners.

Knowledge, Experience & Education
•    A Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited college or university, and an advanced degree is desirable.  The First 5 LA Board recognizes that academic credentials alone are not indicative of leadership experience and potential; a mix of professional background and lived experience will be strongly considered in place of formal advanced degrees.
•    Working experience in California and Los Angeles County, especially as it relates to advocacy, public policy and systems change to improve the lives of young children, their families and communities
•    At least 15 years of progressively more responsible leadership or management in complex environments advancing community-focused and community-centered change and successfully influencing colleagues at all levels of leadership across an organization
•    Experience managing complex programs or organizational budgets, with knowledge of public systems and budget processes, at the local, county and/or state level in California, highly desirable
•    An understanding of child development, early learning, community health, social determinants of health and the unique dynamics of work in and alongside parents, residents and local government
•    Deep humility and respect for the lived experience of families with young children and a passion for helping communities work toward equitable systems change
•    Success in coalition-building and working effectively with diverse groups of people, including the acumen and humility to work in a cross-cultural manner
•    A sense of humor

Compensation & Benefits
First 5 LA offers an attractive public sector executive salary, eligibility for an annual performance bonus at the discretion of the Board, car allowance and severance package (pursuant to negotiated employment agreement). The salary offer will be dependent on experience.

First 5 LA offers a generous benefits package including paying 100% of the premiums for employee and their dependents for medical, dental, vision benefits, and for employee’s life and long-term disability insurance policies; 403(b) retirement savings and investment plan through The Standard; contribution to employee’s retirement savings plus matching employee’s elective retirement contributions; paid vacation and sick time; 13 paid holidays; professional development coaching, flexible work schedules; voluntary health and dependent care spending accounts; employee assistance program; life insurance and long-term disability; voluntary college savings plan; and leadership development programs.

Hybrid Work, Vaccine Requirements, Location & Residency

Proof of in-state residency and the ability to work onsite in the First 5 LA building is required.

The Organization

When you Join Alight, you’ll find…

• A team with deep experience in co-designing solutions that create new value around the world. We know we need to always be better, and we believe in the power and abundance of everyday people, everywhere, to change the world with us.

• A culture of radical accountability to our customers –as we help build a meaningful life for and with the displaced, we ask them what they want and then deliver on it.

• An organization that refuses to settle for anything less than delivering human-worthy services.

If you are looking to be part of a living, breathing, ever-changing organization full of disrupters and doers, then read on!

We Are Alight

We are and always have been about amazing global citizens taking action to change our world. Forty years ago, Chicago businessman Neal Ball recruited a volunteer relief team who deployed to the Thai-Cambodian border. Even in the face of terrible tragedy, that first team was characterized by their incredible energy and belief that anything was possible.

In 2019, we took the next big step on a journey to unleash and put into action that same abundant belief. American Refugee Committee became Alight. We’re the same organization with the same people doing the same critical work – providing health care and clean water, shelter, protection, and economic opportunity to more than 3.5 million people in 19 countries each year. But in solidarity with the people we serve who are too often defined by a single dark moment in their lives, we’ve dropped the label ‘refugee.’

Alight sees and helps every person make meaningful change in the world – from displaced and marginalized communities in Africa, Asia and the Americas to…anyone, anywhere.

Position Overview

Hello Hello! So, you’re interested in joining us? Welcome, we’re happy you’re here.

The Opportunity

Now three years into our transformation from American Refugee Committee to Alight, we are at an exciting moment with new leadership and a new strategy. We are hiring a new executive leadership role – a Chief Marketing and Engagement Officer (CMEO) – to lead the next chapter of our brand evolution, raise the visibility of Alight, increase private giving, build strategic partnerships, and set Alight apart in the market. This person will oversee Alight’s communications, fundraising, advocacy, and partnerships teams; will sit on the five-person executive leadership team; and reports directly to CEO Jocelyn Wyatt.

We’re seeking someone with a background in strategic communications, someone who brings creativity to profile building and fundraising, a person who loves donor and partner engagement, and someone who is a strong leader of multidisciplinary and multicultural teams. Key responsibilities include:

Strategic Communications and Marketing

• Partner with the CEO, COO, and leaders across the organization to set Alight’s global communications vision, strategy, direction, and priorities.

• Lead the creation and development of robust marketing and communications plans and programs, lead effective systems and processes, and manage a budget of $3-$3.5million/year.

• Inspire, define, and nurture a future-forward understanding across the organization and position advocacy campaigns, engagement activities, and communications to both attract new opportunities and advance Alight’s impact in a global market.

• Provide overall creative direction for the brand expression of Alight and steward our brand in the humanitarian and development sectors and philanthropic community.

• Expand Alight’s influence and position us as an expert and thought leader by initiating and leading productive alliances with media, marketing organizations, industry groups, forums, and strategic networks; facilitating media placements, publicity opportunities, and digital engagement; and securing writing and speaking engagements for the organization.

• As a key voice and senior leader, represent Alight in pitches, social gatherings, annual galas, and internally and externally facing events and activities.

Fundraising and Partnership Development

• Hold accountability for unrestricted and restricted private giving through the annual fund and individual donor management.

• Develop comprehensive fundraising plans that effectively engage individual donors, major gifts, corporate donors, and philanthropy.

• Architect effective donor and partner engagement strategies to expand Alight’s financial support base, grow a network of influential friends and allies, and cultivate Board giving and active engagement in fundraising efforts.

• Lead collaboration between Alight’s global communications, fundraising, partnerships, advocacy, and country teams.

• Closely collaborate with country teams to identify and bring in external collaborators, build strategic partnerships, and align fundraising campaigns and partnerships with Alight’s strategic goals and priorities.

Team Building and Leadership

• Build a high-performing, resilient, and optimally leveraged multidisciplinary team of 15.

• Assess, optimize, and design collaborative, responsive relationships between global communications, fundraising, partnerships, advocacy, and country teams.

• Facilitate an inclusive workplace that emphasizes leadership development, career development, and collaboration.

• Establish a culture of innovation by exploring new systems, leveraging external collaborators and partners, and integrating best practices to position Alight as an innovator, change-maker, and disrupter in a crowded market.

A big-picture thinker, you possess extensive experience harnessing the power of storytelling to effectively reach diverse audiences and inspire action. You deploy an audience-centered approach to engaging constituents and partners, develop engagement strategies and activities that appeal to global audiences, and align marketing, communications, and fundraiser campaigns with the broader brand narrative and organizational priorities.
