Build and lead an equity-focused human capital strategy at a leading, nonprofit financial services organization that promotes economic mobility and financial security for families with low incomes. About Compass Working Capital Anti-poverty programs in the United States provide critical, but insufficient, support to families with low incomes. If we are to end poverty and close racial and gender wealth gaps in our communities, we must support families to build the financial assets and capabilities needed to achieve their goals and dreams. Since 2005, Compass Working Capital ("Compass") has been working to do just that, by providing savings and financial coaching programs that support families with low incomes to build assets, achieve their financial goals, and become financially secure. Our vision is to build a leading, nonprofit financial services organization that promotes economic mobility and financial security for families with low incomes by influencing field-related practice and policy. Within the last decade alone, Compass clients, who are primarily women of color, have built over $8 million in savings across our programs in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. In late 2019, through philanthropic investment, Compass embarked on a strategic plan to significantly expand its national scope and impact. This investment provides Compass with the funding and support to ready the organization for greater impact by ending asset poverty for 220,000 families with low incomes by 2030. We envision a day when asset building is the norm, and not the exception, in our nation's anti-poverty work. About the Position Reporting to the CEO and serving as a member of the Executive Team, the Chief Human Resources Officer ("CHRO") is responsible for leading the development and execution of our equity-focused human capital strategy. The CHRO will oversee all human resources areas, including talent management, compensation benchmarking and analysis, benefits and payroll administration, employee engagement and relations, compliance, and workforce and professional development planning. As a member of the Executive Team, the CHRO will ensure Compass continues to build a strong, diverse, and inclusive culture across today's organization and with an eye towards future growth. We seek a solutions-focused and collaborative problem-solver who has demonstrated alignment with Compass' mission, either through lived, work, or volunteer experience with families with low incomes. The ideal candidate will be a hands-on Human Resources leader who seeks an opportunity to build the Human Resources function in a growing, entrepreneurial nonprofit. The CHRO will directly manage a Human Resources Manager and Administrative Associate based in Boston. This role reports to the CEO. Compass' national headquarters is in downtown Boston, and the organization has a growing field presence in Philadelphia. Staff primarily live and work across the northeast region and in Philadelphia. The CHRO can be based in the Northeast, with a preference for Greater Boston or Philadelphia. Travel to field offices in Greater Boston and Philadelphia will be expected 2-4 times per month as the impact of the pandemic subsides and the team returns to the physical office. Travel to future field offices might be required, as the organization expands nationally. To learn more about working at Compass, click here .

Build and lead an equity-focused human capital strategy at a leading, nonprofit financial services organization that promotes economic mobility and financial security for families with low incomes. About Compass Working Capital Anti-poverty programs in the United States provide critical, but insufficient, support to families with low incomes. If we are to end poverty and close racial and gender wealth gaps in our communities, we must support families to build the financial assets and capabilities needed to achieve their goals and dreams. Since 2005, Compass Working Capital ("Compass") has been working to do just that, by providing savings and financial coaching programs that support families with low incomes to build assets, achieve their financial goals, and become financially secure. Our vision is to build a leading, nonprofit financial services organization that promotes economic mobility and financial security for families with low incomes by influencing field-related practice and policy. Within the last decade alone, Compass clients, who are primarily women of color, have built over $8 million in savings across our programs in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. In late 2019, through philanthropic investment, Compass embarked on a strategic plan to significantly expand its national scope and impact. This investment provides Compass with the funding and support to ready the organization for greater impact by ending asset poverty for 220,000 families with low incomes by 2030. We envision a day when asset building is the norm, and not the exception, in our nation's anti-poverty work. About the Position Reporting to the CEO and serving as a member of the Executive Team, the Chief Human Resources Officer ("CHRO") is responsible for leading the development and execution of our equity-focused human capital strategy. The CHRO will oversee all human resources areas, including talent management, compensation benchmarking and analysis, benefits and payroll administration, employee engagement and relations, compliance, and workforce and professional development planning. As a member of the Executive Team, the CHRO will ensure Compass continues to build a strong, diverse, and inclusive culture across today's organization and with an eye towards future growth. We seek a solutions-focused and collaborative problem-solver who has demonstrated alignment with Compass' mission, either through lived, work, or volunteer experience with families with low incomes. The ideal candidate will be a hands-on Human Resources leader who seeks an opportunity to build the Human Resources function in a growing, entrepreneurial nonprofit. The CHRO will directly manage a Human Resources Manager and Administrative Associate based in Boston. This role reports to the CEO. Compass' national headquarters is in downtown Boston, and the organization has a growing field presence in Philadelphia. Staff primarily live and work across the northeast region and in Philadelphia. The CHRO can be based in the Northeast, with a preference for Greater Boston or Philadelphia. Travel to field offices in Greater Boston and Philadelphia will be expected 2-4 times per month as the impact of the pandemic subsides and the team returns to the physical office.
