Director of Impact
Director of Impact
The Opportunity
Are you a systems thinker and mission-driven leader who believes that data, advocacy,
and community connection can transform how hunger is addressed? Do you see impact
not just as a metric to report, but as a movement to build? Food Finders Food Bank is
seeking a visionary Director of Impact to lead our efforts in turning evidence into action -
and action into lasting, measurable change across the 16 counties served by the food
bank.
As Director of Impact, you will serve as the strategic engine behind how we understand our
community, coordinate resources, and advocate for the people we serve. Working closely
with the President/CEO and across departments, you will lead our Resource Coordination
program, drive SNAP outreach and enrollment, shape our advocacy agenda, and ensure
our data tells a story that moves decision-makers to act.
This is more than a program management role; it is an opportunity to champion equity,
amplify community voices, and help shape a future where food insecurity is met with both
urgency and smart, sustainable solutions.
What You’ll Do
Lead Resource Coordination with Purpose
You will guide a dedicated team focused on service excellence - developing best-practice
workflows, setting quality standards, and using community insight to close service gaps.
You will balance organizational capacity with community demand, always centering the
needs of our neighbors in every decision. You will build and maintain performance
dashboards that communicate real impact to internal and external audiences alike.
Drive Advocacy for Systems-Level Change
You will lead Food Finders’ advocacy strategy - monitoring state and federal legislation,
shaping our policy positions, and representing the organization in coalitions and public
forums. Working alongside the CEO and Director of Marketing & Communications, you will
mobilize constituent engagement, champion SNAP enrollment, and ensure the neighbor
voice is heard where it matters most. You will bring both conviction and professionalism,
advocating on behalf of our mission with objectivity and clarity.
Transform Data into Decisions
You will develop and steward organization-wide data systems aligned with our key
performance indicators. From identifying underserved populations to producing executive
level reports, you will ensure our data is not just collected - but understood, trusted, and
acted upon. Your analysis will surface trends, assess program performance, and inform
the decisions of leadership and the board.
Build & Inspire a High-Impact Team
You will hire, develop, and lead program staff in a collaborative, outcomes-focused
environment. You will empower your team to deepen community partnerships, innovate in
service delivery, and bring their best to the work. You will cultivate a workplace culture
rooted in inclusion, respect, and continuous improvement, one where people feel valued
and motivated to drive change.
What You Bring
• A deep commitment to addressing hunger and advancing equity, you lead with
mission, always.
• You are a strategic thinker who connects data and community insight to
meaningful, measurable action.
• You bring experience navigating advocacy landscapes, policy environments, and
cross-sector partnerships.
• You are a confident, people-centered leader who develops staff, builds trust, and
drives collaboration.
• You balance big-picture vision with operational precision - keeping programs
running well while looking ahead.
Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree is required, preferably in education, human services, public
policy, or a related field.
• Minimum 5 years of professional experience, including direct management of staff.
• Demonstrated experience in program leadership, community partnerships, or
advocacy.
• Proficiency in data analysis, reporting, and the use of performance metrics to guide
decisions.
• Food safety certification (provided upon hire).
• An equivalent combination of education and relevant experience will be considered.
