    Director of Development - Seattle, United States - Toyota of Redlands

    Default job background
    Description
    The National Innovation Service (NIS)

    partners with governments across the country to engage in systems-level transformations.

    We do this by creating collaborative coalitions between communities, public sector partners, and other relevant stakeholders to redesign systems with those most impacted at the center of decision-making processes.

    Our work is to build new systems that produce equitable outcomes.

    Our team draws on a variety of disciplines and experiences to deliver this work, privileging direct experience of the problems we address and merging practices from service design, policy analysis, systems thinking, community organizing, and change management.

    We develop strategies and roadmaps for transformation and also remain committed partners throughout implementation.

    As we establish and test pathways forward with our partners, we are working to advance equity-based policy and legislation at the local, state, and national levels, as well as the development of new products and services.

    NIS was officially incorporated in February 2019. Our first partnership was with King County and the City of Seattle in Fall 2018. For more details, click

    . We're seeking leaders with an all-hands-on-deck mentality to build our team from the ground up.

    We strive to attract and develop individuals who reflect a broad spectrum of diversity, including (but by no means limited to) racial, ethnic, gender identity, and socioeconomic dimensions.

    We believe that inclusion of diverse perspectives is essential to achieving long-term, systemic change.
