THE OPPORTUNITY
Ocean Conservancy seeks a highly trusted senior leader to serve as Senior Director, Executive Strategy and Integration (Senior Director), a newly designed role within the Executive Office. This is a rare opportunity to work in deep partnership with the CEO at a moment when focus, discipline, and executive leverage matter more than ever.
The Senior Director plays a central role in shaping how Executive Office priorities move from intent to action. This strategic leader is responsible for bringing clarity, structure, and judgment to the CEO’s agenda, decisions, and commitments, ensuring that time and attention are directed toward the work that most advances the organization’s mission and strategic priorities.
Operating with a high degree of trust and autonomy, the Senior Director exercises judgment on behalf of the CEO to establish discipline around priorities, guide decision readiness, and ensure accountability to maintain momentum across the Executive Office and allow others to execute effectively. This role is for a leader who is energized by complexity, comfortable holding boundaries, and skilled at translating strategic intent into consistent execution.
The Senior Director leads the Executive Office and directly manages the Senior Executive Assistant and Board Engagement Manager, aligning executive coordination, board engagement, and CEO preparation into a cohesive, high-functioning system. Success in this role requires maturity, discretion, and the confidence to redirect work, say no when necessary, and reinforce disciplined ways of working in service of Executive Office effectiveness.
