    Description

    EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

    The Boston Society for Architecture's mission is to improve the quality of life for Boston-area residents by championing innovation in the built environment with a clear vision to solve related critical equity and sustainability challenges.

    The Boston Society for Architecture (BSA) is seeking a charismatic, energetic, and passionate leader with a strong operational and fundraising background and a track record managing and building collaborative, high-performing organizations.

    The BSA is a partnership between the Boston Society of Architects (BSA/AIA) and the BSA Foundation.

    The BSA operates as a convener, collaborator, educator, and action leader to ensure that the power of design is fully employed in creating solutions that address the equity and climate crises of our time.

    The Foundation is a community nonprofit organization dedicated to improving lives through design for all in Greater Boston.

    Enabling architects to excel in their profession by offering education and networking opportunities, and advocating for the profession at local, state, and national levels.


    • Both are designed to ensure a thriving architectural community that is tackling the issues of our era.

    It aims to realize this vision by activating its network of architects, engineers, developers, policymakers, community members – and new partners – to work together designing and testing solutions to today's most demanding problems.

    The Chapter's members include more than 4,500 practicing architects, allied professionals, students, and public members interested in architecture and design.

    The BSA has an annual budget of approximately $4 million, an endowment of $10 million, and a staff of 13 professionals.

    The Executive Director will be a strategic thinker who will provide the energy and leadership necessary to ensure that the BSA continues to provide a dynamic public voice in design, civic life, and the role of design in society and culture.

    The Executive Director's knowledge of the intersection of architecture, advocacy, and community engagement will be critical in leading the organization with a deep passion for architecture, urbanism, and the built world.

    The Executive Director, in collaboration with the BSA Board President and the Foundation Board Chair, will be the public face of the organizations, key spokesperson, and instrument for educating the public about the importance of architecture and design.

    Reporting to the BSA Board President and the Foundation Board Chair, the Executive Director will oversee the staff, internal operations, and programs.

    Working closely with the Boards, the Executive Director will guide and motivate the staff and be a leader who will serve as an advocate for membership issues and BSA programs.

    A consensus builder, the Executive Director will be the primary link between the Boards and staff and the overall driver of the organization's mission.

    The Executive Director will be an enthusiastic fundraiser and advocate on behalf of the BSA with civic leaders, practitioners, academic institutions, the media, and the general public.

    Prudently manage the finances of the organization and ensure strong financial systems and controls, working closely with the Board Treasurers and outsourced finance partner.


    • Develop, hire, and retain high-performing staff and ensure a collaborative, supportive work culture.
    • Develop and maintain strong relationships with the BSA's members and constituents, particularly members that serve as leaders of the BSA's elected committees and knowledge communities (volunteer committees). Develop and maintain strong working relationships with leaders in government, design, educational, cultural, civic, and professional organizations in the community – both in Boston and beyond. The Executive Director should understand the Greater Boston landscape and have a strong interest in and commitment to architecture and design and the following experience and qualifications.
    • Proven executive leadership, problem-solving, planning, and fiscal capability as a manager within an organization representing cultural, educational, or academic institutions with a focus on the built world; Business and financial acumen are necessary to direct a complex organization.
    • Experienced fundraiser with a track record of closing major gifts from individual donors, foundations, government sources, and corporations.
    • Strong interpersonal skills with high emotional intelligence and experience leading and collaborating with staff and valuing their work and ideas. A strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in all facets of an organization.
    • The skill, confidence, and political savvy to work effectively with two separate boards coupled with the experience to create and maintain constructive partnerships with a variety of constituents including: donors; academics; understanding of the public policy process.
