About Education Reimagined
Education Reimagined is a national nonprofit organization based in Washington DC that harnesses the power of visionaries and communities across the country to create and enact a new design for the public education system that is centered around learners, not schools.
We recognize the obligation of public education to develop and prepare future generations. Education must lead to family-sustaining careers and fulfilling lives — so that all young people are equipped to contribute productively to their communities, economies, and democracy. The current public education system was designed more than 100 years ago to meet a specific, now outdated, need: to instill order and compliance, for predetermined roles in an industrial society. This structure has perpetuated long standing inequities, resulting in the marginalization of entire communities.
Since 2013, Education Reimagined has successfully furthered the effort to build and advance the field of learner-centered education. In seeking to enable learner-centered education as an option for all young people in the United States, we have convened and supported a community of practitioners who are successfully engaging children with learning that nurtures their agency, taps their interests and gifts, and offers experiences to explore and apply concepts in the real world.
Now the organization is laser-focused on advancing the creation of a transformed public education system via the development of community-based, learner-centered ecosystems. We have ignited an R&D acceleration initiative to catalyze this change. In this, we are sharpening the vision, coalescing the partners, marshaling the funding and resources in order to establish these ecosystems as a viable, accountable, and sustainable alternative design for public education. In this work, we are expanding our public presence to reach new audiences, partners, and inventors—those in K-12 education and well beyond. Likewise, we are setting out to dramatically expand our funding pool to not only support our own work but also to fuel the learner-centered education field writ-large.
As we embark on this significant expansion of our portfolio and impact, we are seeking a Chief Impact Officer who will play a central external and internal role in fueling the growth and dynamism of the organization.
About the Position
Education Reimagined is seeking a committed leader to join our executive team as Chief Impact Officer. A new role for the organization, this position will lead external partnerships and fundraising for the organization during an exciting chapter of growth.
This role is designed for a collaborative, entrepreneurial leader who is skilled in building partnerships with a diverse set of organizations and individuals and shares a commitment to transforming the public education system to equitably and powerfully serve each child in the United States.
Reporting to the CEO, the Chief Impact Officer will be responsible for overall strategic direction, leadership, execution, and management of Education Reimagined’s development and fundraising strategies, with accountability for setting and executing against annual and multi-year revenue targets. This role will also serve as a frontline spokesperson and fundraiser—exploring, building, and maintaining relationships with key stakeholders to generate revenue and strategic partnerships to accelerate Education Reimagined’s impact. The organization’s projected annual budgets for 2024-2026 are $5.5-7M, with the goal of raising $30M by 2026 to fuel long-term organizational sustainability.
The Chief Impact Officer will be a key member of a four-person executive team and will contribute significantly to organizational strategy and external relations. They will oversee the growing development team, which currently includes a Director of Development and a consulting firm, and has room to grow, pending need and resources; and will partner with the Board of Directors and Development Committee.
Education Reimagined’s main office is located in Washington, DC; however, candidates do not need to be based in the DMV area. If this person is not DC-based, they should expect to travel to Education Reimagined’s main office in Washington, DC for 3–4 annual trips. Moreover, this position will require travel to varied conferences, events, and fundraising meetings across the country, likely 1-2 times monthly.
