About the Role

The Company is seeking an Executive Director to lead its mission of defending the rights and dignity of immigrants, asylum seekers, and refugees. The successful candidate will be at the forefront of the organization's work, which includes representing individuals in legal matters, advocating for their safety and freedom, and challenging injustices within the legal system. This is a pivotal role, particularly in the current climate, where the Executive Director will be expected to provide strong leadership, stand against discrimination and unlawful attacks, and ensure that the organization remains a powerful voice for those in need. Applicants for the Executive Director position at the company should have a background in law, with a preference for experience in immigration. The role requires a leader who can honor the organization's legal legacy while also driving it towards greater maturity and national influence. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in overseeing complex legal work and leading a sophisticated law practice. In addition to legal expertise, the Executive Director must be a compelling public advocate, capable of engaging with donors, policymakers, and partners to support the organization's strategic goals and fundraising efforts. The position demands a dedicated individual who is committed to the values of the organization and is prepared to work closely with the Board and staff to set and achieve ambitious objectives.
