Executive Business Partner

What we're looking for

TogetherSF is a fast-paced civic engagement organization seeking an Executive Business Partner to join its San Francisco team. We are a non-profit that operates like a start-up - with passion, hustle and a bias towards action and excellence.

About TogetherSF

TogetherSF is San Francisco’s fastest-growing network of volunteers and community caretakers. We’re on a mission to make San Francisco a city we all are proud of — one that addresses its citizens’ most urgent needs and invests in our collective future. Years of politics without progress, of posturing and infighting among elected officials while inequalities festered, have eroded residents’ belief that our city can solve its problems. But we know there’s reason for optimism.

That’s why we’re tapping into our city’s most valuable resource — civically engaged residents — and channeling their frustration and perceived lack of power into action. We host events and activities for our network of volunteers to meet fellow solutions-oriented neighbors and learn about new ways to move the needle on the issues they care most about — from improving access to education, addressing food insecurity, to supporting small businesses. By providing San Franciscans with the knowledge and opportunities they need to get involved, lasting change is possible.

About the role

We are looking for a smart, detail oriented, proactive, organized Executive Business Partner to act as the chief support to our Founder/CEO and leadership team. 

The environment at this non-profit is fast paced, and we have a high-performing close-knit team who works well together. This position requires ambition, flexibility and dedication. The right candidate should be excited to come to work, and want to go above and beyond to help our team thrive and achieve our goals.

If you are content to answer the phone and send emails, then this is NOT the job for you. We want someone engaged and proactive, supporting our very busy CEO so that she can spend time on mission critical projects, and our leadership team, so that our organization and office run efficiently. This position is full-time and includes benefits. The salary range for this position is $130,000 to $140,000 based on experience. We currently work a hybrid work schedule, 3 days a week in our SF office and 2 days remotely.

About You

The ideal candidate will have a genuine interest in San Francisco politics and civic affairs, and be passionate about increasing civic engagement and voter education to help our city run more effectively. You will work closely with the leadership team. If you are someone who thrives working in a fast paced and rewarding environment, we’d love to meet you.
