NRC seeks a highly effective communicator and strategic thinker with dynamic leadership skills to fill the Executive Director role. This person will demonstrate a strong analytical, multi-tasking, and organizational ability to oversee multiple programs and events within the NRC while providing strong management skills to offer vision, plan, and problem-solve creatively.

The general purpose of the Executive Director role is the successful leadership, overall management, financial planning, marketing, and operation of the NRC while ensuring compliance with Board directives and applicable state and federal requirements for 501(c)3 non-profit organizations. Under the direction of the NRC President and Board of Directors, the Executive Director will be responsible for the financial sustainability and growth of the organization by maintaining and growing funding sources, creating strategic partnerships, implementing policies developed by the Board of Directors, procedures, and a strategic plan as well as leading educational and community events to provide opportunities and support for recycling efforts in the United States consistent with the mission of the organization. NRC is in a rebuilding mode. Although the organization has 46 years of experience, NRC has been a primarily volunteer-led organization for the past six years, with some limited support from contract staff members. The addition of an Executive Director is part of a significant rebuilding effort of the organization to re-establish itself as a leading voice for the 3Rs in the nation and to support partner organizations such as recycling organizations at the state and regional levels.

Contract Terms: The Executive Director will generate the revenue necessary for NRC to employ the Executive Director. To achieve this, NRC is open to candidates proposing how to structure compensation and incentives. For example, this could include a monthly compensation adjusted by the total amount of current assets (as determined by the cash balance, accounts receivable, and contractually committed funds for the next month).

Closing Date: October 31, 2024
