Chief Growth Officer

Who we are :

Our client is a national nonprofit redefining what's possible in workforce development for healthcare. With bold vision, entrepreneurial leadership, and measurable results, they are building a new model—one that delivers lasting impact at scale.

Headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, our client has already served over 10,000 individuals with extraordinary results :

And they are just getting started. By 2030, their goal is to reach 100,000 total scholars across a growing national footprint.

What sets our client apart is their integrated model : comprehensive case management, wraparound services, and long-term support. They are lean, nimble, well-resourced, and building a generational movement to address America's healthcare staffing crisis. They operate with the urgency and ambition of a high-growth startup, backed by a strong financial foundation and a leadership team committed to excellence, equity, and systems-level change.

The Market Opportunity :

The United States is facing a healthcare workforce crisis of unprecedented scale. With an aging population, increased demand for frontline caregivers, and persistent barriers to entry for underserved communities, the gap between healthcare workforce needs and available talent continues to widen.

Our client is uniquely positioned to address this challenge. Through a data driven, outcomes-focused model that integrates comprehensive training, wraparound case management, and long-term career support, our client is closing critical workforce gaps while creating life-changing opportunities for individuals.

The organization's early success—supporting over 10,000 scholars with industry-leading graduation and job placement outcomes—demonstrates both the efficacy and scalability of its approach. With operations already active in seven states and a vision to reach 100,000 scholars by 2030, our client is entering a pivotal phase of national expansion.

The next CGO will play a critical role in enabling this growth, helping to strengthen operational systems, scale infrastructure, and position our client as a national leader in solving one of the most urgent talent challenges in the U.S. economy.

Position Objective

Our client is seeking a Chief Growth Officer who will operate and lead the internal engine of the organization and translate their current success into a roadmap to scale to 100,000 individuals by 2030. This is a hands-on, high-impact leadership role responsible for overseeing, scaling and elevating the daily operations, talent strategy, systems, and cross-functional performance of a 40+ person organization expected to grow dramatically. The CGO will be the operational architect and executional force that helps our client mature its infrastructure and prepare to scale nationally—with a goal of growing from 10,000 to 100,000 individuals served by 2030. This is not a figurehead or back-office role—this person will be on the ground, shoulder-to-shoulder with a committed team, accountable for driving results with rigor and compassion.
