Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The Director will own business applications, including Salesforce, and manage data governance to ensure system integrity and support AI-led workflows. They will also lead technology projects, map business processes, and manage relationships with technical vendors.
Candidates must have 10-12+ years of experience in business systems or Salesforce-centric roles and possess a bachelor's degree. Strong skills in process mapping, data management, and project delivery are required, along with the ability to work on-site in Washington, D.C. three days per week.
The Skoll Foundation is hiring a Director, Business Systems & IT Operations based in Washington, D.C. This role is eligible for a hybrid work schedule, including Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday required on-site in the Washington, D.C. office.
The Skoll Foundation drives large-scale change by investing in, connecting, and championing social entrepreneurs and innovators who help solve the world's most pressing problems. We are a team of approximately 40 people based in Washington, DC, and we are in the middle of an AI-led digital transformation that is changing how we work — embedding intelligent tools across our investment, portfolio management, and collaboration workflows. Skoll is a private grantmaking foundation that seeks to build a sustainable world of peace and prosperity for all by investing in, connecting, and championing social entrepreneurs and other social innovators. Together, we advance bold and equitable solutions to the world’s most pressing problems. The Skoll Foundation fosters a mission and values-based approach to the work we do focused on the vision of doing good.
We're looking for a Director, Business Systems & IT Operations who deeply understands how business processes translate into system design. You'll own Skoll's business applications and the processes they support including investment workflows, grantee management, portfolio reporting, and cross-team collaboration. You'll be the person who can sit with a program officer, understand how they actually work, and ensure our systems reflect and improve those processes rather than constrain them.
You'll also own data management and governance across our business systems ensuring data quality, consistency, and integrity so that both staff and our growing AI capabilities can rely on what's in the system.
This role is part of a broader AI transformation at Skoll. You don't need to be an AI expert, but you'll be expected to leverage AI to drive efficiency across business applications and processes, and to ensure the systems and data you manage are well-positioned to support increasingly intelligent workflows.
You'll report to the Vice President of Technology & Digital Transformation. This is a hybrid position based in Washington, D.C. with an expectation of three days per week in the office.
