You have good judgment and are comfortable asking for clarification, resources, or support as needed. You are excellent at managing yourself, prioritizing, and asking for help. You know how to spin many plates at once, field lots of details, and step back to ensure alignment with the strategic vision. You have demonstrated your ability to create new programs, systems and workflows from scratch.
- Innovative: You enjoy thinking outside the box and using your experience to try something new or different. You bring experience in human-centered design, lean or agile methodologies and enjoy sharing your experience with others.

- Accountable: You are familiar with Financial and Contractual commitments, and you are financially mindful and capable of creating and maintaining a budget.
- Adaptable: You thrive when working in ambiguity, and when evolving and pivoting your focus as the work, project, or context requires.
- Excellent Written and Verbal Communicator: You know how to structure your thinking and deliver communication clearly in both written and verbal form. You naturally pick up on the context at hand and connect your communication to what will be most effective to the listener, recipient, or group. You may bring experience managing external communications, marketing or thought leadership efforts.
- Humble: As a small team, we all wear many hats: there is no task too big or too small for you. You are able to give clear assignments and constructive feedback to others you may oversee or work alongside and can work in a collegial manner with others.
About The Belfer Center
The Belfer Center for Innovation & Social Impact is 92NY’s social impact laboratory, building and scaling initiatives that address society’s most pressing challenges. We do this by incubating new initiatives that build on 92NY’s nearly 150-year history as a center for culture, connection, and enrichment.
The Belfer Center invests in the capacity of local change leaders, sustains their connection to one another, and scales the networks that emerge to unlock sustainable, positive change. Since our founding in 2013, we have launched 20 initiatives that have collectively activated 100+ million people to date. The Belfer Center has collaborated with 50+ organizations, corporations, and social impact investors, and our largest initiative, GivingTuesday, is now its own nonprofit that raises billions each year for organizations and individuals.
We are a small team (5 full-time team members), and the iterative, experimental nature of our work creates a start-up feel in our organization. We believe in testing, learning, evolving, and adapting — moving fast, while being deliberate in the choices we make about our work.
