Press Forward

The Miami
Foundation

The Miami Foundation
seeks a well-rounded, innovative, and equity focused leader to
serve as the Network Manager of Press Forward, a national
initiative to strengthen communities and democracy by supporting
local news, rebuilding local journalism, and improving the
dissemination of civic information throughout the United States.
This is an opportunity to apply previous leadership and grantmaking
experience to help cement Press Forward’s impact on local
journalism, and serve in a critical capacity to manage a complex
network of stakeholders across pooled, aligned, and local
funders.

Under a set of shared values and priorities to guide their
grantmaking, a coalition of more than forty donors have come
together with a more than $500 million investment over the next
five years to re-center local news as a force for community
cohesion; support new models and solutions that are ready to scale;
and close longstanding inequities in media ownership, philanthropy,
and journalism.

Reporting to the Director, the Network Manager will be charged
with designing processes and building relationships within a rich
and diverse ecosystem of funders and stakeholders. As Press Forward
is a newly established initiative, the Network Manager will also be
instrumental in supporting and establishing Press Forward’s
grantmaking efforts and procedures. The successful candidate in
this role will bring an equity driven and centered approach to this
work and be able to convert diverse thoughts and perspectives into
strategic action.  

Screening of complete applications will begin immediately and
continue until the completion of the search process. Inquiries,
nominations, referrals, and resumes with cover letters should be
sent via the Isaacson, Miller website for the search:

Electronic submission of materials is strongly encouraged.
