Travel: Frequent, domestic and international.

MISSION

Soles4Souls creates opportunity for people through shoes and clothing, and works to disrupt the cycle of poverty. We keep shoes and clothing in circulation rather than in landfills, and we put them to work across four programs: 4Opportunity, which supports entrepreneurs in low-income countries; 4Relief, which provides new shoes and clothing during crisis; 4EveryKid, which puts new athletic shoes on kids experiencing homelessness; and Solutions4Good, our circularity arm which extends the life of shoes and clothing through reconditioning and repair.

We are a market-based not-for-profit. We believe in opportunity and dignity, and we hold ourselves accountable to measurable impact across economic opportunity, education, health, and sustainability.

Transparent · Entrepreneurial · Accountable · Meaningful

THE ROLE

The Chief Partnership Officer owns S4S’s full relationship engine: community, corporate/industry partnerships, and philanthropic fundraising, together, from first conversation through renewal. This is the organization’s primary relationship-building seat. The CPO secures the new and used shoes and clothing that fuel every program and builds the corporate and community philanthropic support that funds our growth, and is accountable for keeping those relationships, not just opening them.

This is a full P&L leadership role over a global team of business development and fundraising professionals, with real accountability for the revenue and unit targets our mission depends on.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Corporate & Industry Partnerships

– Build and manage relationships across all geographies in the footwear, apparel, and retail industries that generate ongoing donations of new and used shoes and clothing.

– Grow corporate philanthropy beyond retail, footwear and apparel brands. Corporate is our largest channel and our most underdeveloped relative to its potential.

– Represent S4S at trade shows, conferences, and industry events globally as our primary external relationship builder.

Philanthropic Fundraising

– Grow contributed revenue from $5.2M today to $8.6M within three years, and set the trajectory toward $20M in the next 6–8 years.

– Treat retention as seriously as acquisition. We can’t grow to scale on new acquisition alone; stewarding existing donors and partners has to keep pace.

– Build, grow, and deliver a durable pipeline of six- and seven-figure gifts and partnerships.

– Set the metrics and reporting rhythm that give the executive team and Board real visibility into pipeline health.

Team & Operations

– Lead, hire, and develop a high-performing, globally dispersed partnerships and fundraising team.

– Own the budget and P&L for business development and fundraising functions.

– As a member of the executive leadership team, partner with the CEO and executive team on the organization’s overall growth strategy and results.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN YEAR ONE

– Generating more than 6 million pairs of shoes and 4 million pieces of clothing, new and used combined.

– A credible pipeline of corporate partnerships and cause-marketing deals capable of generating $1M+ each.

– Visible, trusted presence with S4S’s existing donor and partner base, with no relationship drop-off from the transition, and early signs of new donor and partner acquisition beyond the existing base.

CANDIDATE PROFILE

Experience

– 15+ years in business development and/or fundraising leadership, with direct P&L accountability.

– Direct experience in footwear, apparel, or retail industries.

– Senior BD or fundraising leadership in a global nonprofit or social enterprise with $20–100M+ in revenue and 50–200+ employees.

– A personal track record of building and converting a pipeline of $1M+ opportunities.

– Experience leading globally distributed, multi-disciplinary teams.

– Personal or professional experience living and working across diverse cultural and socioeconomic contexts, domestically and abroad.

Leadership Attributes

– Mission-driven, with real conviction about S4S’s purpose and the patience to build long-term relationships in service of it.

– Strong commercial and strategic instincts, with the judgment to know what’s achievable and the ambition to push past it.

– A natural relationship-builder who earns trust across very different audiences, from community leaders to corporate partners to major donors to the Board.

– Comfortable being a visible, external face of the organization, and equally comfortable running the internal discipline (budgets, metrics, team management) that makes the external work sustainable.

– Operates with S4S’s values: transparent, entrepreneurial, accountable, and meaningful.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Competitive salary, commensurate with experience. Benefits include medical insurance with 75% employer coverage, HRA, 100% employer-paid dental and vision coverage, long-term disability, life insurance, 401(k) with up to 6% employer match, professional development support, open FTO, and paid parental leave.

Reports To: Vice President, Information Technology

Location: Remote; with some travel

Soles4Souls Mission: Soles4Souls turns shoes and clothing into educational and economic opportunities.

Our CORE values: Transparency, Entrepreneurial, Accountable, Meaningful – represent who we are!

Summary: The IT Manager is Soles4Souls’ primary internal technology resource — a business-minded technologist who keeps our core systems running, connected, and secure, while helping the organization get more value out of the tools, data, and automation it already has. This role owns day-to-day administration of our key platforms (NetSuite, HubSpot, Microsoft 365, and related SaaS tools), the integrations that connect them, and the reporting that gives leadership visibility into our impact.

Just as important, this is the person who looks for a better way to do things: automating a manual process, connecting two systems that don’t talk to each other, or helping a team use AI to work more effectively. The ideal candidate combines strong technical troubleshooting with genuine curiosity about new tools and a track record of turning that curiosity into practical improvements not by chasing every new technology but adopting the ones that help our teams serve more people well.

Primary Responsibilities:

Business Systems Administration

Serve as primary administrator for core organizational platforms, including NetSuite (ERP), HubSpot (CRM), Microsoft 365, and other SaaS tools as needed.
Manage user administration, permissions, and system configuration across platforms.
Maintain data quality and platform documentation; train staff on how to use the systems they rely on.
Serve as liaison to technology vendors and support providers.

Integration, Automation & Workflow

Manage and maintain integrations across our fundraising, CRM, financial, and operational systems; troubleshoot data sync issues as they come up.
Identify manual, repetitive processes and build automated workflows to replace them, using platform-native tools and low-code/no-code solutions (e.g., Power Automate, Zapier, Celigo).
Support API-based connections and middleware where needed to keep systems interoperable.
Document automated processes so they’re maintainable beyond any one person.

AI Enablement

Evaluate practical AI tools and use cases that genuinely increase staff productivity — reporting, knowledge management, donor and program engagement, and day-to-day workflow.
Help teams adopt AI tools responsibly and effectively through simple guidelines, examples, and hands-on support, rather than formal training programs.
Keep our approach to AI grounded in what helps staff do their jobs, not adoption for its own sake.

Reporting & Data Integrity

Build and maintain dashboards and reports that give leadership clear visibility into organizational and program impact.
Support reporting needs across the organization.
Monitor data accuracy across systems and address integrity issues at the source.

Security & Governance

Own baseline information security: access management, security policies, and incident response.
Perform periodic access reviews and system audits.
Maintain IT policies and a basic business continuity/disaster recovery plan.
Help ensure our practices meet donor and organizational compliance expectations.

Qualifications:

5+ years of experience in IT systems administration, business systems management, or technology operations.
2+ years of experience in NetSuite
Experience administering cloud-based business applications and a strong understanding of CRM, ERP, and SaaS ecosystems.
Demonstrated experience building workflow automations (including AI platforms, Power Automate, Zapier, Celigo, etc.) or leading practical process improvements.
Comfort evaluating and picking up new software and AI tools quickly and translating them into practical use for non-technical staff.
Working knowledge of information security fundamentals (access management, policy, incident response).
Excellent troubleshooting and customer-service orientation; strong written and verbal communication skills.
Comfortable working independently and wearing multiple hats in a lean, remote team.

Skills and Capabilities:

Data management, system integration knowledge, data validation, troubleshooting, process documentation
Process mapping, workflow automation, AI utilization, problem-solving, continuous improvement
Change management, training, communication, technology enablement, AI literacy
Data analysis, reporting, dashboard development, business insight, data storytelling

Compensation: To provide greater transparency to candidates, we share base pay ranges for all US-based job postings regardless of state.
