ABOUT US

The Freedom Together Foundation’s mission is to support people who have been denied power to build it, so they can change unjust systems and create a more democratic, inclusive, and sustainable society. We are committed to advancing deep, systemic change by supporting movements, leaders, and organizations working for justice across the country.

THE POSITION

The Freedom Together Foundation seeks nominations and applications for the position of Executive Coordinator for the Investment Office. This role provides critical operational, administrative, and process coordination support to ensure the effective functioning of the foundation’s investment activities.

Reporting to the Chief Investment Officer (CIO), the Executive Coordinator serves as a trusted partner and organizer of the Investment Office’s workflows, materials, and operating rhythms. The role includes calendar and meeting coordination, as well as managing processes, documentation, and communication that support investment decision-making, governance, and external manager relationships.

The Executive Coordinator helps ensure that information flows smoothly, deadlines are met, and investment-related activities are well organized and executed with care, accuracy, and discretion. The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, comfortable working with confidential information, and able to manage multiple processes in a structured, methodical way.
