Job Description

The Executive Director Opportunity 
  • Following a highly successful nine-year tenure from GLAD’s previous Executive Director (ED), we are searching for our next leader during a momentous time in our movement’s and nation’s history. The new ED will join an organization with stable finances, dedicated multigenerational staff, strong fundraising headwinds, and solid plans for organizational growth and sustainability. To support a successful transition, GLAD has hired an experienced Interim Executive Director, Richard Burns, to prepare the organization for new leadership and provide our next ED with the transition and onboarding support critical to successfully move the organization forward. 
  • GLAD has always been a frontline responder in the battle for LGBTQ+ rights—now, we need a trailblazing ED to lead the charge. As legislative attacks threaten to roll back protections on our community, we seek a dynamic visionary to lead our $5M+ organization and grow our capacity, financial resources, impact, scale, and presence.
  • As a key public-facing representative of GLAD’s mission, values, and work, the next ED will lead a powerhouse team of 35+ staff and interns, including a Legal Team comprised of some of the nation’s most highly regarded LGBTQ+ and human rights litigators. The next ED will join this historic group of leaders and pioneers in defending our hard-won victories, spearheading bold new initiatives, and continuing our relentless pursuit of LGBTQ+ equality at a critical juncture for the movement.

Reporting to a committed Board of Directors, the ED serves as GLAD’s chief ambassador, fundraiser, and spokesperson, working in close partnership with movement partners, funders, and other key stakeholders to amplify our voice, ignite change, and fight for every member of our community. The ED will provide equitable leadership to deepen and extend our coalition of allies, partners, and co-conspirators; rally support from every corner; secure new funding to fuel our planned growth; and grow an inclusive culture in which everyone can thrive.

This is more than just a job—it’s an opportunity to help a nationally renowned organization grow its impact at a critical moment for our community. As we rally the movement, the ED will play a crucial role in spearheading GLAD’s current strategic priorities, which include:

  • Expanding and deepening GLAD’s national impact and presence.
  • Growing our legal capacity.
  • Ensuring an equitable and inclusive workplace.
  • Further building a hybrid workspace for greater, more flexible online collaboration.

The Executive Director’s key responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

Strategy & Leadership 
  • Engage the staff, Board of Directors, and other key stakeholders in advancing a shared vision and direction for GLAD.
  • Create short- and long-term plans to implement GLAD’s current strategic priorities that create shared accountability and clear milestones.
  • Pursue, steward, and secure strategic relationships and partnerships that strengthen GLAD’s reputation, visibility, and impact.
  • Deepen diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and antiracism across all parts of the organization to foster an inclusive, equity-forward culture.
  • Serve as an external leader in the national movement, pursuing opportunities for collective impact and advancing a shared vision.
Funding & Resource Development
  • Serve as a persuasive and inspirational major gifts fundraiser for GLAD, working in collaboration with the Development Team and Board Development Committee to set, pursue, and secure ambitious and sustainable fundraising goals.
  • Secure new sources of funding and diversify existing revenue streams to strengthen GLAD’s financial position.
  • Maintain, develop, and enhance positive relationships with key current funders while identifying, cultivating, and securing new donors.
Organizational and Team Management 
  • Champion efforts to strengthen an equitable organizational culture for 35+ employees and interns and 15-20 board members.
  • Lead and guide the functions of the Senior Management Team (SMT) with direct management responsibilities over four senior leaders: Development, Finance and Operations, Legal, and Public Affairs and Education.   
  • In partnership with the SMT, facilitate staff professional development, promote recruitment and retention best practices, facilitate effective performance management and evaluation systems, provide coaching, and expand career advancement pathways to build best-in-class teams.
  • Provide strong organizational development leadership, including the development and improvement of organizational infrastructure (such as processes, systems, tools, and protocols) to maximize efficiency and support future growth.
Community Engagement and Strategic Alliances
  • Continually scan the advocacy landscape to identify strategic alliances and coalitions within and beyond the movement that amplify organizational impact, foster collaboration, and drive collective progress towards achieving shared goals of equality and social justice, particularly for communities of color.
  • Provide compelling storytelling about GLAD’s mission, programs, and accomplishments with the public forum.
  • In close partnership with GLAD’s Public Affairs & Education and Legal Teams, deepen and nurture relationships with community leaders, government agencies, partner organizations, local businesses, elected officials, and other external stakeholders to deepen collaboration, engage new constituencies, and expand community presence.
External Relations and Presence
  • As GLAD’s principal spokesperson, engage diverse audiences through earned media and public platforms to bolster funding, elevate GLAD's presence in the market, increase GLAD’s political influence, and garner robust support for GLAD's mission.
  • Drive brand visibility and recognition through strategic oversight of organizational communications, encompassing messaging, branding initiatives, and donor communications.
  • Assess opportunities to represent GLAD in public forums, delegate strategic opportunities to organizational leaders, and orchestrate public speaking and media engagement opportunities that amplify GLAD's national presence, profile, and voice on a national stage.
Financial and Operational Management 
  • Work with the CFO and Finance & Audit Committee of the Board to provide transparent fiscal stewardship of GLAD and proactively manage financial resources to ensure its long-term financial health.
  • With the support of the CFO and the SMT, prepare annual budgets that responsibly steward the financial health of the organization.
  • Deploy nonprofit best practices to ensure that responsible policies and risk management procedures are in place to keep the organization viable and sustainable.
  • Work closely with key infrastructure leaders to identify opportunities to streamline operations, implement best practices, and optimize resources, and maximize organizational efficiency.
Candidate Profile

GLAD has a commitment to justice and lived equality; inclusion, equity, and mutual respect; anti-racism, and collaboration, and has defined these as the core values that are integral to fulfilling our mission. These organizational values apply to all levels and positions in the organization and each employee is encouraged to find ways to integrate the core values into their day-to-day work.

GLAD’s next Executive Director does not need to be a lawyer or come directly from the LGBTQ+ legal advocacy space, though both of those experiences would be beneficial. An authentic commitment to LGBTQ+ advocacy and civil rights is critical, as are the leadership, strategic, and visionary skills required to help GLAD successfully meet the challenges of this moment in history.

We encourage interest from candidates from all backgrounds, especially those who are transgender, disabled, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color). GLAD is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace where all individuals are valued and respected. While not every candidate will have experience in all the responsibilities outlined in the position profile, successful candidates will be guided by these core competencies:

Alignment with GLAD’s Mission

Deeply committed to GLAD’s values, you feel compelled to amplify GLAD’s national presence and quest to defend and expand LGBTQ+ rights. You lead with humility, kindness, and compassion; demonstrate integrity and transparency; and exhibit a genuine passion for our mission, values, and work. A patient and empathetic listener, you address organizational challenges with transparency and open communication and are a champion for including diverse representation, particularly for those with marginalized and multiple marginalized identities, at all levels of seniority. You see this as an opportunity to leverage your leadership skills to elevate GLAD’s impact and influence on a national stage, drive meaningful progress in LGBTQ+ rights, and recognize that GLAD’s litigation, legislation, policy advocacy, and collaboration are crucial to securing strategic legal victories and advancing equality for the LGBTQ+ community across the country. 

Fundraising and Resource Development

Captivated by the excitement of fundraising for a cause, you thrive on seizing opportunities to attract donor attention and cultivate new revenue streams. You bring an understanding and curiosity of the competitive fundraising landscape, how and where GLAD can gain new forms of financial support, and know how to leverage generational transfers of wealth as you engage donors to bolster financial stability. Through persuasive storytelling and deep personal connections, you foster meaningful donor relationships to ensure sustainable funding and pave the way for organizational growth and success. An ambitious leader, you bring either a demonstrated track record of fundraising success closing gifts from individuals or institutions or are open, committed, and ready to learn quickly and become an outstanding relationship-driven fundraiser.          

Strategic Planning and Execution

A strategic thinker, you adeptly navigate increasingly politicized social landscapes to drive measured growth and impact. You work through consensus to maximize capacity, overcome internal and external challenges, and work collaboratively to ensure smooth adaptation to change. With a penchant for ambitious goals, you foster alignment with organizational objectives and inspire confidence among teams. Through collaborative partnerships and effective leadership, you set and execute strategic priorities, empower your teams to achieve impactful outcomes, build capacity for long-term sustainability, and navigate both internal and external challenges with transparency and grace. As a leader and advocate, you understand how to develop and implement strategic frameworks within a multi-stakeholder environment or organization. 

External Presence and Relationship Building

A deeply relational and connected leader, you embrace and lift up local and national advocacy partners to achieve impact and recognition. You are a skilled storyteller who creates impactful narratives that incite calls to action, coalesce key stakeholders, and inspire the belief that our movement is stronger together. As the external face of an organization, you have a track record of successfully increasing name recognition, engaging a diverse range of audiences and collaborators, and forging strategic partnerships within civil rights and LGBTQ+ advocacy to advanced shared goals of equality and social justice for all. 

Leadership and Organizational Development

A motivational leader, you commit to fostering inclusive workplace cultures where staff feel empowered to achieve their full potential and embrace change. You prioritize staff well-being by facilitating strong operations, partnering with senior leaders to develop clear career pathways for junior staff, and invest in technology to support a fast-paced, agile organization. You honor and emphasize staff support, recognition, and appreciation to maintain a healthy organizational culture, support strategic hiring, and foster organizational agility. Above all else, you invest in emerging leaders and firmly believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion are integral for the movement’s success.                    

Location, Compensation, and Benefits

GLAD’s office is based in Downtown Boston and operates under a hybrid schedule that is flexible by department. Although Boston-based candidates or candidates in the Northeast region of the US are preferred, it is not required. We welcome interest from candidates outside of Boston and the Northeast who consider this an extraordinary leadership opportunity to positively impact the LGBTQ+ community. We want to get to know you!

Regardless of location, the Executive Director will commit to regular presence in GLAD’s Boston offices and support connection and collaboration in a hybrid organization. Regular travel to convenings and meetings in other locations across the country is also required.

Salary for the role is anticipated to range from $215K-$250K, commensurate with experience. GLAD provides excellent benefits including three weeks of paid vacation, covering 100% of individual health and dental insurance for single employees (60% for employee plus spouse/family), a 401(k) with employer contribution, and disability insurance.

Job Description

The Opportunity

Since 1978, GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) has achieved scores of precedent-setting legal victories to end discrimination based on gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, and HIV status. Time after time, GLAD has broken through resistance and prejudice to make real progress for transgender rights, family protections and marriage equality, LGBTQ+ youth rights, protections for people living with HIV and much more. GLAD is focused on working at the cutting edge of LGBTQ+ rights, advancing strategies to address discrimination occurring at the intersections of race and LGBTQ+ status, and keeping a close watch on a counter-movement that is fighting hard to roll back critical progress.

We are at a critical moment in our efforts for LGBTQ+ justice, racial justice, and lived equality. The rights of LGBTQ+ people, and transgender individuals in particular, are under attack, as evidenced by the over 500 anti-LGBTQ bills filed in 45 state legislatures this year and efforts by opponents to expand religious exemptions to LGBTQ+ nondiscrimination protections through a conservative-leaning federal judiciary. 

To deepen and expand our legal and advocacy work into our next chapter, GLAD seeks a staff attorney to engage in GLAD’s cutting-edge impact litigation, public policy advocacy, and education. The Staff Attorney will work independently and collaboratively within a team made up of some of the most experienced LGBTQ+ advocates in the movement, and will have the opportunity to be mentored and grow into the next generation of legal advocates and leaders for the LGBTQ+ community. 

 

About the Role

GLAD seeks an attorney with a minimum of 3-7 years of litigation, legal research and writing, and/or policy experience, who has a passion for LGBTQ+ and/or HIV work as well as all related social justice issues that impact the LGBTQ+ community, including racial justice. Reporting to one of the senior directors in the department and working in collaboration with the legal team, the Staff Attorney will handle an active workload of litigation, legislation, and policy issues to advance GLAD’s organizational priorities. 

This position presents an opportunity for an emerging legal leader to learn from GLAD’s experienced and intergenerational legal team, helping create and implement strategies using legislation, litigation, policy, and public education to advance justice on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and HIV status, and exemplify commitment to racial justice. 

The Staff Attorney works collaboratively with the Legal Department and other GLAD staff to: 

  • Contribute to the legal department's decision-making strategy, help identify and assess matters for impact litigation, and file cases in state and federal court and other disputes. 
  • Serve on litigation teams, including being involved in case and client development, legal research, pleadings and briefs drafting, discovery and motion practice, hearings, trials, and appeals. 
  • Support amicus curiae efforts through brief writing and coordination. 
  • Provide technical expertise and support to private litigators and organizations facing complex LGBTQ issues in state and federal courts and government agencies. 
  • Monitor and selectively engage in legal policy and legislative affairs and developments, both in federal law and with respect to the laws and governments of the New England states and nationally, through consultation and collaboration, legal research and drafting, identifying stakeholders and experts, lobbying, and public education. 
  • Provide support for GLAD Answers, GLAD’s legal information and referral service, including by working up legal intakes and providing individual support or legal referrals, where appropriate, to people who seek legal help. 
  • Engage in select legal, community, and stakeholder presentations, events, forums, including information sharing and developing and representing GLAD positions to the media and the public.
  • Center organizational values, including anti-racism, equity, inclusion, and mutual respect in all work.

 

Qualifications

  • J.D. degree and admission to practice law in at least one state in the United States. If not licensed in a New England state, the candidate may also be required to seek admission to a New England state within one year of hire. 
  • Minimum of 3-7 years of litigation, legal research and writing, and/or policy experience who has a passion for LGBTQ+ and/or HIV work as well as all related social justice issues that impact the LGBTQ+ community, including racial justice.
  • Strong legal research, analysis, writing, and oral communication skills. 
  • Previous litigation experience including motion practice, trial practice and/or appeals.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills in context of client and client development, all aspects of litigation, lobbying or advocacy with government officials, and public persuasion. 
  • Understanding of and commitment to the ways that all forms of discrimination, including racial discrimination, impacts the LGBTQ community and informs our strategies and priorities. 
  • Ability to build mutually respectful and collaborative partnerships with other marginalized communities including communities of color. 
  • Potential for growth and development in skills and expertise as an attorney over time. 
  • Demonstrated ability to work across departments and teams, both internally and externally with diverse stakeholders.
  • Independence, as well as the ability to work as part of an integrated team.

Other helpful qualifications include: 

  • Knowledge of LGBTQ+ law and/or policy, anti-discrimination, health care, education, family, and/or constitutional law. 

 

Compensation

This is a full-time, exempt position with a competitive salary range of $90,000-$120,000 for attorneys 3-5 years out of law school and $100,000-$135,000 for attorneys 6-10 years out of law school. GLAD provides excellent benefits including three weeks of paid vacation, fully paid individual health and dental insurance, and disability insurance.

 

Location

This is a national remote-eligible position with the expectation of regular travel every other month to GLAD’s office in Boston. 

 

45 Years of Groundbreaking Work

GLAD has been changing history since our founding in 1978. GLAD argued the Supreme Court case that established people living with HIV are protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act. GLAD lawyers broke ground on some of the movement’s earliest transgender rights victories, including winning the first appeals court decision to affirm that discrimination based upon transgender identity is prohibited under sex discrimination laws as well as landmark rulings in areas including gender affirming medical care and transgender students’ educational access. GLAD’s decades-long leadership in the marriage equality movement culminated in arguing for and winning the freedom to marry nationally at the U.S. Supreme Court in 2015. 

Now in its fifth decade, GLAD is well positioned to leverage its substantial experience and track record of strategic victories to address systemic discrimination, push back against efforts to reverse progress, and expand access to equity and justice for the entire community.

 

GLAD’s Mission, Structure and Values
Through strategic litigation, legislation, public policy advocacy, and education, GLAD works in New England and nationally to create a just society free of discrimination based on gender identity and expression, HIV status, and sexual orientation. 

Headquartered in Boston, MA and governed by a Board of Directors, GLAD operates with a $4+ million annual budget and 30+ staff and interns. 

GLAD operates with a commitment to the following organizational values: Justice and Lived Equality; Inclusion, Equity, and Mutual Respect; Anti-Racism; and Collaboration.

Visit www.GLAD.org to learn more about our work, history, staff, board and values.  

 

Justice for All 

GLAD’s newly adopted strategic plan endeavors to deepen our national leadership and impact, expand our legal capacity, protect a multiracial, pluralistic democracy, and sustain an antiracist and intergenerational movement for the long term.

 

Our Commitment to Racial Justice

GLAD is focused on ensuring that our legal strategies to advance LGBTQ+ equity and equality acknowledge intersecting oppressions and advance interlocking social movements, particularly movements for racial justice. 

GLAD’s work focuses on both harm reduction within systems that disproportionately target and harm LGBTQ+ people of color as well as the imperative to reform, dismantle and create alternatives to the systems themselves. LGBTQ+ youth of color are over-disciplined in school, disproportionately targeted by police, and disproportionately represented in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. LGBTQ+ adults of color are disproportionately represented and face exceptionally brutal treatment in our systems of incarceration. The HIV epidemic continues to disproportionately harm communities of color, especially gay men of color, who lack the same access to life-saving prophylactic medications such as PrEP.  

GLAD challenges discriminatory systems, policies and practices; engages in intentional, sustained partnerships with LGBTQ communities of color; and works to build and maintain coalitions with allied social justice movements. We pay equal attention to our organizational culture, practices, and staff and board composition to ensure that they reflect these values.
