This position would develop and coordinate efforts to sustain an equitable workplace and manifest DEIA values in all internal and external strategies, systems, policies, practices, operations, branding, and organizational culture. The Director of DEIA would work closely with the Executive Leadership Team, the Board of Directors, and respective committees in creating and implementing key DEIA initiatives organization-wide to strategically create and foster tangible change and cultivate an open and inclusive environment that reflects and respects all staff, partners, and community constituents.

    • Build strategic frameworks and manage deliverables, timelines, and budgets related to DEIA initiatives.
    • Guide the analysis of outcomes and performance measures and impact against the Pier's vision from an equity lens to foster improvements in outreach, service delivery, and engagement across the organization.
    • Provide leadership in creating innovative strategies to cultivate, attract, develop, and retain a diverse workforce.
    • Form authentic relationships and serve as a strategic thought partner with members of the Executive Leadership Team so that awareness, dedication, and accountability for DEIA action plans are implemented throughout the organization with fidelity.

    • Develop and deliver a broad range of training and resource materials for all staff members, and the Board of Directors that support the Pier's vision and goals.
    • Analyze and present trends and remain up to date on best practices related to DEIA and integrate accordingly.
    • Oversee Accessibility accommodation requests for guests via Navy Pier's accommodations process.
    • Develop programs and policies that ensure Navy Pier is creating an equitable workforce and marketplace for people with disabilities.
    • Implement and oversee Navy Pier's Employee Resource Group(s) to enhance engagement across lines of difference.
    • Establish relationships with organizations in historically and intentionally excluded communities and organize volunteer opportunities for staff to get involved.
