About the role

The James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation, evolving over the past 18 years under its original Board Chairman and Executive Director, envisions an Oregon where arts and culture thrive in supportive communities, and educational supports -- often beginning with early childhood learning experiences -- enable systemic improvements in education. The Miller Foundation invests in proven community bedrock institutions as well as small, upstart program models; in both cases, encouraging strategic approaches that enable grant funds to have significant, long-term effects on the arts and culture and education sectors. ABOUT THE POSITION The Miller Foundation seeks a new Executive Director to provide thoughtful strategic and practical operational leadership, promoting the fulfillment of the Foundation’s mission, while helping the Board of Directors realize their collective vision of maximizing human potential. The preferred candidate will have a compelling mix of experiences, skills, personal characteristics and motivations to collaborate, lead, manage, administer and advance the Foundation’s initiatives, grantmaking, evaluation and external engagement in order to achieve the Foundation’s purpose.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
