The Jax Riverfront Alliance (JRA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to stewarding a bold vision for Downtown Jacksonville's riverfront through the implementation, activation, and enhancement of a world-class system of parks and public spaces. The founding Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Jax Riverfront Alliance will build an innovative, collaborative, and sustainable organization that leverages substantial investment in premier parks and greenspaces to reshape and reinvigorate Jacksonville's downtown for generations to come.
The founding CEO of the Jax Riverfront Alliance will have a rare opportunity to oversee the creation of a public-private parks partnership that is ambitious in its objectives, broadly supported in its aims, and unconstrained by past precedent. The CEO will be responsible for establishing and executing JRA's strategic vision; building a high-capacity team; strengthening JRA's relationship with elected officials, municipal agencies, community organizations, partners, and developers; and galvanizing support from residents, businesses, and donors for the organization's goals. With a premium on building trust in both the organization and the public-private partnership construct, the CEO will look to accumulate early wins to establish proof of concept and communicate the organization's value proposition while adopting a long-term perspective on the transformational role that creatively programmed and well-maintained public spaces can play in creating community, generating economic activity, and enhancing quality of life.
The Jax Riverfront Alliance seeks an experienced and entrepreneurial leader with a demonstrated passion for parks and proven track record of operating, activating, and sustaining world-class public spaces to serve as the organization's founding Chief Executive Officer. The CEO will possess significant leadership experience in the public-private parks partnership realm and will have an aptitude for operating, programming, activating, and maintaining public spaces that foster community, contribute to health and wellbeing, and generate economic activity. The successful candidate will operate with the highest standards of integrity and demonstrate a balance of business savvy with a commitment to responsible, people-focused management.
JRA offers a competitive salary and benefits package. Compensation for this position is anticipated to be between $190,000-$250,000 on an annual basis and will be commensurable with experience. Health, retirement, PTO, and other benefits are available.
