Account Director- Pro Bono Marketing, IT and HR Projects

Description:

The Taproot Foundation engages Marketing, IT and HR professionals on pro bono projects to provide local nonprofits with high-quality, professional services. We make it easy for skilled professionals like you to donate your time effectively while gaining valuable exposure to the nonprofit community and your industry peers.

Taproot Foundation is currently seeking seasoned leaders to volunteer as Account Directors on our upcoming pro bono projects. The Account Director is the most senior Service Grant volunteer and typically oversees two to three Service Grants concurrently. The Account Director ensures that the grantee client is ready to begin a project, negotiates project issues such as scope or timelines that the project manager cannot resolve, pre-sells deliverables, coaches the program manager on possible internal political challenges, and ensures that the client is both upholding their responsibilities and ultimately pleased with the project. With the Taproot Foundation volunteer team, the Account Director makes final staffing decisions, reviews deliverables for quality and coaches the project managers.

A successful Account Director volunteer has managed team leaders, feels comfortable negotiating executive or board-level relationships, and has experience directly related to one of our grant areas (i.e. marketing, database/IT, or human resources.) Account Directors typically have held at least director, vice president, or partner level roles in their professional careers.
