We want you on our team!
The Solutions Project funds and amplifies grassroots climate justice solutions across the US and Puerto Rico, especially those created by Black, Indigenous, Immigrant, women, and other people of color led organizations. We operate as a national intermediary dedicated to improving the material conditions of the people directly impacted by the climate crisis, who we believe play a central role in finding and scaling solutions. As an intermediary funder, we practice deep listening and trust-earning with our grantee partners. We support grantee partners through funding, amplifying grantee messages, and driving policy, narrative and culture change that centers frontline communities.
We are committed to a regenerative economy that centers equity-rooted strategies, community benefits, diverse leadership and just transitions. The current moment appeals to philanthropy to be more attuned and holistic in its approach. To recognize interconnectedness, and to be in deeper service of communities. This is the type of philanthropy we embody.
Let’s create the future we want. Will you join us?
We're bold.
We are aspirational, creative, and always proactive. Those at the frontlines of pollution, extraction, and the shared urgency of climate change deserve nothing less.
We're inclusive.
We shine the light and invite everyone we can onto the path to a regenerative economy. We follow the leadership of those rooted in frontline communities who are showing the way.
We advance equity.
We center equity-rooted strategies, community benefits, diverse leadership, and just transitions. The transition to a regenerative economy must center and directly benefit those people most impacted by pollution, extraction, and climate change.
Reporting to the Chief Program and Operating Officer, the MD will ensure the organization’s financial stability while also leading key operational initiatives. This role requires a leader who thrives in a dynamic environment, where systems are still being developed and processes need to be built or better optimized.
With a strong emphasis on financial leadership, the MD will manage the organization’s financial systems, including budgeting, cash flow, compliance, and vendor management, while ensuring that all financial processes are accurate and efficient. The MD will also be responsible for streamlining internal workflows, including training staff on Salesforce and other platforms, to improve reporting,project management, and operational consistency across the organization.
In addition to financial oversight, the MD will play a crucial role in driving the operational execution of TSP’s newly approved strategic plan through 2030. This will involve overseeing cross-functional projects related to governance, program functions, and internal operations. The MD will systematize key workflows and lead the organization in developing smooth, scalable operations.
In the short term (3-12 months), the MD will focus on enhancing financial and operational reporting, managing vendor relationships, bringing more financial responsibilities in-house, and building budgets for new funding proposals. The MD will also support the early phases of strategic plan execution. In the long term (1.5-2 years), the MD will work to expand operational capacity, build internal systems, and develop a cohesive, high-performing team.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys financial management and operational execution and can bring structure to a growing and ambitious organization.
Solidarity is showing up, aligning with and contributing to the success of people most harmfully impacted by the abusive systems, structures and practices established by white settler colonialism, including racism, sexism, heterosexism, cissexism, ableism, classism and more. We believe people most impacted by environmental injustice must be at the forefront of environmental justice solutions. As such, we center BIPOC, women and other groups impacted by systemic oppression in our work as a way to achieve environmental justice for all.
Vision is to imagine a world different than we have ever experienced and to be audacious enough to believe it is possible. We are forward-thinkers. We lead with strategic imagination and creative collaborations with the movement to build innovative and effective solutions towards climate justice.
Courage. We have learned from our community that courageous action yields big results. To be courageous is not to rely on tradition or habit, but instead to fully understand the challenges before us, expand possibilities and analyze options, find new answers and unlock innovative and effective solutions. We courageously take risks in order to meet our radically audacious vision.
Integrity is in our honesty and our uncompromising commitment to our values, which we demonstrate in our work internally and externally. It is important to us to build trust in our work, and to honor the trust we foster with follow-through. We are accountable to each other and to the communities we work within, and so we seek and uplift feedback, work to mitigate harm and learn from our successes and mistakes.
Care. As we work to achieve our mission, we support and celebrate self-care and community-care that promotes our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.
