Job Description

SprintRay is supporting a U.S.-based nonprofit in a confidential search for a new Executive Director. Please note this is not a SprintRay role.

Executive Director for National Non-Profit

Organization : National Nonprofit Organization (Confidential Search)

Location : Irvine, California (ONSITE – daily; no relocation offered)

Salary Range : $160,000 – $180,000

They are not seeking a traditional nonprofit leader. This role doesn’t require prior nonprofit experience—instead, they are looking for a proven business leader with P&L ownership, digital transformation expertise, and the ability to design scalable revenue models while leading with agility.

With a proven legacy of service and impact, the organization is now poised for its next era of growth and sustainability. The Executive Director will be a transformational leader who combines business acumen, philanthropy or volunteerism, and digital savvy to expand reach and strengthen long-term durability.

About the Organization

This national nonprofit organization is dedicated to providing education, support, and hope to families seeking trusted guidance, resources, and community connection. With a strong community of families, volunteers, and experts, the organization delivers trusted resources, practical tools, and connection to empower families at every stage of their journey.

The organization is entering an exciting new chapter, advancing a digital-first, membership-driven model designed to increase reach, deepen engagement, and strengthen long-term sustainability. Its strategy focuses on three pillars :

  • Building organizational durability
  • Expanding reach and accessibility
  • Increasing earned revenue through digital membership and programs

Position Overview

The Executive Director (ED) will lead the organization into its next phase of growth—strengthening its mission, expanding its digital capabilities, and ensuring long-term organizational impact. Reporting directly to the Chairman of the Board, the Executive Director serves as the organization’s chief executive, responsible for overall strategy, operations, partnerships, fundraising, and culture.

This is a fully onsite leadership role. The Executive Director must live within commuting distance of Irvine, CA, and be present at the office daily. Relocation is not offered for this position.

The ED will guide a national team of approximately 20 professionals and hundreds of volunteers, fostering innovation, accountability, and inclusion. The ideal candidate is both a visionary and a builder—someone who can inspire others, drive strategic transformation, and operationalize a modern, data-informed nonprofit model.
