    + Harness data for impact: Use CRM and BI tools to set goals, analyze trends, and adapt strategies to meet evolving community needs.

    + Partner across departments: Work closely with Marketing to craft compelling messaging that brings the Girl Scout Leadership Experience to life.

    + Cultivate relationships: Engage with volunteers, families, and community leaders to strengthen connections and fuel our movement.

    + Serve as a thought leader: Represent the Growth and Engagement teams on the Senior Management Team, championing strategic initiatives across the organization.

    + Support fiscal responsibility: Oversee department budgets and resource planning to ensure long-term sustainability and impact.

    What You’ll Bring:

    + Bachelor’s degree (required); Master’s preferred in marketing, business, nonprofit management, or a related field—or equivalent experience.

    + 5+ years in a leadership role, with a proven track record of building and managing high-performing teams.

    + Ability to build trust across multicultural communities and foster a sense of belonging.

    + Strengths in strategic thinking, performance coaching, and cross-functional collaboration.

    + Excellent communication skills—clear, direct, and empathetic.

    + Proficiency in Microsoft Office, and experience working with CRM/BI tools (Salesforce, Looker, etc.).

    + A valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and willingness to travel throughout the council area.

    + Flexibility to work occasional evenings and weekends.

    + Belief in the mission and values of Girl Scouting; be willing to subscribe to the principles expressed in the Promise and Law.
