“We believe that when voices are heard, communities are connected and ideas are nurtured from the ground up, movements can grow and real change can begin. Through grassroots global initiatives, leadership programs and civic movements, the Belfer Center (the Center) has created a vibrant worldwide community built around big ideas and doing good”.
The Chief Innovation Officer and Belfer Center Director (CIO/Director) is responsible for leveraging the power of partnerships, and collaboration within 92NY’s diverse programming centers to strengthen and extend the reach of 92NY’s global core values, as a leader in distributed global programs, movements and digital initiatives for the 21st Century so as to help address major societal challenges, improve lives and advance dialogue and understanding. With a focus on creativity and innovation, the CIO/Director will build on 92NY’s past initiatives such as Giving Tuesday, founded at 92NY in 2012, as well as its many important ongoing programs, including 92NY’s Women in Power fellowship program for emerging female leaders; its Share Our America bridging program, which seeks to address polarization across the United States through highly structured group conversations; and its UpTide accelerator for national community-building non-profits. The CIO/Director is also responsible for working with the leadership at 92NY to develop innovative ways to deliver 92NY’s traditional services and content, overseeing 92NY’s Strategic Planning Group, with a goal of raising 92NY’s profile and attracting new audiences consistent with the high level of quality with which 92NY has always been associated.
Accountable for ensuring the Center approaches both in-person and online programming in increasingly collaborative and cross-disciplinary ways, the CIO/Director will cultivate new communities, stakeholders, and methods of fostering dialogue as well as avenues for increasing revenue streams. The CIO/Director will also focus on events, thought pieces and other strategies to make the Center an acknowledged, social good, thought leader.
Through partnerships within the organization and with outside entities, the Director will ensure that the Center is a catalyst for exploring and expanding opportunities for successful collaboration and programming across multiple platforms of delivery that promote social good, cement the Center’s role as a global thought-leader, increase revenue streams and fuel rapid, broad-based, and sustainable institutional growth.
