Designing Justice+ Designing Spaces - Bay Area
Oakland, California, United States • Hybrid
Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The Managing Director provides internal executive leadership, overseeing the day-to-day operations of the architecture and real estate verticals. This role involves managing multidisciplinary teams, steering growth strategy, and leading specific projects within the portfolio.
Requires 15+ years of experience in architecture and real estate development and 10+ years in organizational leadership. Candidates must have a strong background in community-facing leadership and the ability to manage a hybrid nonprofit/fee-for-service model.
We are an architecture and real estate development social enterprise creating spaces that embody justice, healing, and self-determination. By designing with communities most impacted by incarceration and disinvestment, we build infrastructure that supports community ownership, redistributes power, and lays the foundation for a world rooted in care, not punishment.
To achieve this mission our team is composed of architects, designers, real estate developers and community members working together to create solutionary spaces and places that bring dignity, well-being and care to the communities we serve.
The Role
Managing Director · Oakland, CA · Hybrid: 3 days in office · $200,000 – $225,000 · Reports to Executive Director
The Managing Director is a pivotal executive leadership role at DJDS — a steady, strategic presence who holds the interior so the Executive Director can focus externally. This is a cross-sectional role for someone who can lead a multidisciplinary team with both rigor and heart, and who understands that building a sustainable, mission-driven organization is itself an act of transformation.
We're looking for someone whose career began in architecture or real estate development and grew beyond it — into community development, into the relationship-rich, trust-dependent work of designing and building with communities, and into the adaptive, solutionary leadership it takes to guide a complex organization through a rapidly changing world. The path could have started anywhere on that spectrum — what matters is the curiosity and conviction that shaped the journey.
This is not a role for someone drawn to the traditional practice model. It's a role for someone whose technical foundation gave them a language for the built environment, and whose career since has been driven by a deeper question: what can that environment do for communities who have long been the architects of their own resilience — and deserve infrastructure that reflects it.
You'll own the day-to-day leadership of our real estate and architecture verticals — work that is deeply intersecting with fundraising and day-to-day operations. You will be second to the Executive Director, partnering closely with her to steward strategy, culture, and growth.

Who You Are
Your career has taken you across disciplines and into leadership that most people can't easily categorize — and that's exactly the point. You've been front-facing on large, complex projects — whether as an owner's representative, a project manager on the architecture side, or in a community-facing leadership role where the stakes were high and the stakeholders were many. You understand how buildings get made and you're equally interested in what they mean to the people who use them. We know no single person will arrive with all of this — what matters most is the combination of experience, curiosity, and values you bring to the role.
Experience That's Helpful but Not Required
Benefits
How to Apply
To apply, please submit a resume and a cover letter speaking to your experience, your vision for this role, and why DJDS's mission resonates with you.
DJDS is an equal opportunity employer. As an organization committed to hearing diverse voices and perspectives, we consider the broadest and most diverse talent possible — with a deeply inclusive approach and lens. We strongly encourage applications from people with lived experience of the issues we work on.
If this role resonates with you, we encourage you to apply—even if your experience doesn’t match every requirement. We value curiosity, lived experience, and a deep commitment to community.
We’re building a team that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve, and we’re excited to learn more about what you bring to the work.
