Full Job Description
Executive Site Director, Baltimore

College Track | Baltimore, MD | Full-TimeSalary: $118,875 - $128,749 (target range) | Priority Deadline: July 1st, 2026
You Won't Just Run a Program. You'll Shape a Movement.

College Track's Baltimore site is in its earliest, most formative days, launched through a bold partnership with the Baltimore Ravens, M&T Bank, and Baltimore City Public Schools. The scholars we serve will be the first to experience what we're building here. The Executive Site Director will be the person who makes sure it's worth experiencing.
What You'll Own:
Philanthropic Leadership

You'll be the face of College Track in Baltimore - stewarding transformational relationships with anchor investors like the Ravens and M&T Bank, cultivating new donors, building a Local Advisory Board, and representing the mission at events, in media, and with elected officials. This role carries real external presence and real responsibility.
Scholar Recruitment & Retention

You'll set the vision for how Baltimore students find us and stay with us - working closely with school and district partners to build the infrastructure that keeps scholars on a ten-year path.
Culture & Team Leadership

You'll lead a team of 3-4 direct reports and co-create the norms, values, and practices that define what it feels like to work and learn at College Track Baltimore. The culture you build now will outlast your tenure.
Financial Accountability

You'll hold the site budget, partner with Finance on forecasting, and make sure every dollar works toward scholar outcomes.
Who You Are - You're a mission-driven leader who gets energized by complexity, relationships, and the long game. You're not looking for a job - you're looking for a place to make a real difference, and you have the experience to back it up.

You bring:
  • 10-13 years of relevant experience, with proven ability to lead organizations or programs toward ambitious outcomes
  • A track record of fundraising and relationship-building with high-profile partners, funders, and community stakeholders
  • Strategic instincts - you can zoom out to see the big picture and zoom in to execute
  • Exceptional communication skills that inspire confidence and galvanize people across diverse audiences
  • Deep belief in the potential of first-generation students
  • A bachelor's degree (master's preferred)
  • Availability for an 11:00 AM-7:30 PM schedule Monday-Friday (to be present when scholars are)
  • A valid driver's license and ability to meet College Track's driver clearance process
  • Spanish or Cantonese fluency is a bonus
What We Offer
  • Salary: $118,875 - $128,749 (target range); full range up to $148,500 based on experience
  • Up to 23 days of discretionary PTO (sick + vacation) in your first year
  • 23 additional paid office closures and holidays
  • Comprehensive benefits covering health care, financial security, and work-life balance
  • A national organization with deep infrastructure, thoughtful culture, and genuine commitment to staff development
