Snap Foundation seeks an exceptional leader with fearless vision, strategic acumen, and operational expertise to implement an ambitious strategic direction that further positions the Foundation as a nexus for creative arts and social impact philanthropy in Los Angeles. The CEO will build on a legacy of achievement, refine our grantmaking practices, strengthen our trust-based partnerships, and deepen collective community care, while helping take the organization to a new level of clarity, impact, and institutional maturity.
Working in close partnership with the Board and a small team, the CEO will lead execution of the Foundation’s 2026-2030 strategic plan, shaping how that vision is sequenced and translated into an actionable and measurable roadmap, and cultivate an organizational culture aligned with its values and ambitions. This individual will advise on long-term capital deployment choices, and ensure that the organization has the right team, structure, and capabilities to deliver against its goals.
As the chief ambassador of an evolving organization, the CEO will have the opportunity to shape external messaging and positioning to elevate Snap Foundation’s brand. Additionally, the CEO will develop timely and informed strategies that respond to emergent opportunities that advance Snap Foundation’s priorities. As we enter a new chapter, we are particularly excited to leverage all our assets to inspire support from a broad range of audiences who are motivated to support underserved youth.
The successful candidate will be both a strategist and a builder who can honor the direction already set but create space for continued innovation and adaptation, while bringing the judgment, executive presence, and leadership required to execute it with rigor, credibility, and momentum. The CEO should be capable of leading a mission-driven institution through a period of evolution, increasing ambition, and greater public visibility.
