S/he will seek, identify, and nurture relationships with the organization’s donors and stakeholders and will report to the Board of Directors. The Executive Director will have the opportunity to impact the lives of thousands of immigrants and their families and contribute to a proven model of service by leading a talented team that is mission-focused, results-oriented, passionate, and fun. The ideal candidate is a mission-driven leader with a proven ability to initiate, cultivate, and manage relationships with key stakeholders and funders to meet ambitious development goals. S/he must demonstrate the ability to motivate, inspire, and build staff with an eye toward team building and fostering professional growth. S/he will be entrepreneurial and nimble, with the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and opportunities. The Executive Director must be a committed advocate for the mission, the staff, and the clientele of Ayuda. About Ayuda Ayuda, a 501(c)(3) non-profit celebrating 41 years of service to the Greater Washington metropolitan area, has a longstanding history of assisting immigrants, and is poised to meet a growing and changing need in the immigrant community and to serve as an increasingly relevant partner in the region. Ayuda is seeking an Executive Director who will advance the organization’s mission in a new era of growth and help it to realize the vision of a community where all immigrants succeed and thrive in the United States. Ayuda is unique among non-profit providers in the DC metro area in providing a wide range of immigration and family law assistance, as well as social services support and language services, for all immigrants – including men, women, and children – from anywhere in the world. Ayuda strives for a holistic approach to its work in order to serve as a single-stop resource for all client needs. Ayuda staff members are leaders in providing specialized services for immigrant children, LGBT clients, and immigrant survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking.

Ayuda has more than 25 staff members and has offices in Washington, D.C. and Falls Church, VA. The operating budget for 2014 is approximately $2.5 million. Last year, Ayuda assisted in more than 4,000 immigration, family law, and social services matters.

The ideal candidate will have several of these stakeholder relationships already established.

S/he will assess key needs of the organization, such as facilities and technology infrastructure, in partnership with the management team, to promote the highest levels of efficiency. The linchpin of these responsibilities is developing an annual budget in close collaboration with key staff and the Board, including mapping out projected expenses and revenue sources. The Executive Director will ensure the financial integrity of the organization and work closely with the Board of Directors to monitor financial achievement against financial goals. Partnership Building and External Affairs: The Executive Director will be a champion for lowincome immigrants in the local community and nationally. S/he will develop and maintain relationships with local and regional leaders in the corporate and non-profit sectors, as well as with government funders, law firms, other direct service providers, correlated community-based organizations, and media. S/he will share the stories of Ayuda’s clientele to communicate to stakeholders and potential new partners the unique and important role that Ayuda plays in the region’s immigration challenges. S/he will lead Ayuda’s strategic collaborative efforts in the region’s legal, social service, and immigrant communities. Board Development, Diversification, and Expansion: The Executive Director reports to the Board of Directors and must work collaboratively with its members and committees to continuously support and encourage their leadership efforts, leverage their abilities, advise and report on the status of activities (particularly on issues of strategic importance), cultivate positive relationships between the Board and staff, ensure support for the organization’s operations, and develop new members who complement the Board’s existing expertise as well as the needs of the organization.
