Hiring Company Name:

Georgia Innocence Project

Position Title: 

Executive Director

Type of Position: 

Full Time Employment

Brief description of the job opportunity: 

A full leadership profile for GIP Executive Director is here: https://bit.ly/EDGIP

Company Description:

For over 20 years, the people and partners of the Georgia Innocence Project have worked diligently on behalf of Georgia’s wrongly convicted. Georgia Innocence Project is the state’s only organization focused exclusively on exonerating the wrongly convicted. As an operating nonprofit, Georgia Innocence Project has three fundamental avenues for impact:

1. Investigate wrongful conviction cases and provides direct legal services to free innocent people from incarceration
2. Provide critical reentry and recovery services to survivors of wrongful conviction
3. Expose the injustices within individual cases to drive systemic reform, utilizing education and policy advocacy to prevent, correct, and remedy wrongful convictions systemwide.

Job Responsibilities:

GIP seeks a visionary Executive Director who will honor the organization’s heritage and committed staff while ensuring the people, systems and support are aligned to optimize the collective impact on behalf of Georgia’s wrongfully convicted and incarcerated. As a nonprofit accustomed to punching above its weight, GIP’s next leader can expect to inherit overlapping and interconnected priorities, chief among them the following:

• With the board’s guidance and input from staff and stakeholders, develop a cohesive, comprehensive vision for GIP’s future, fully leveraging opportunities for partnership and engagement. This is longer-term work for which quick answers will be elusive, but it represents a topic of conversation that all parties recognize as essential.

• Ensure an atmosphere of transparency and respect between the staff and board through regular communications, clear expectations and mutual accountability for results. An organization fighting for increased transparency and accountability in the application of justice will benefit from modeling similar norms for itself.

• Strengthen GIP’s case engagement to continue GIP’s momentum with exonerations. GIP has achieved some impressive victories in recent years, but the pace of Georgia’s exonerations lag national averages considerably, even as Georgia’s incarceration rate continues to outpace that of most other states.

• Develop and execute a strategy for legislative and policy changes at the state and community levels.

• Ensure GIP has the resources, staff, and operational infrastructure necessary to sustain and expand its impact. The cultivation and stewardship of relationships, internally and externally, will be essential to GIP’s long-term success

• Leverage best practices and relevant technology to ensure GIP operates as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Job Requirements:

The ideal candidate to lead Georgia Innocence Project will be a legally trained professional experienced in the leadership and management of a highly entrepreneurial nonprofit committed to advancing social justice.

Experience with the incarcerated, and especially the wrongfully incarcerated, would of course be advantageous, but the search committee is open to candidates who demonstrate exceptional leadership skills in other relevant contexts as long as they demonstrate a passion for GIP’s work, an affinity for outsized challenges, and the people skills to navigate relationships with strong-willed colleagues, board members and supporters.

A leader with a commitment to the possible informed by a clear-eyed view of hurdles ahead would be well received. Successful exonerations require the mastery of minutiae as well as strategy. The Executive Director cannot afford to get bogged down in the minutiae but absolutely must respect its role in the outcomes GIP seeks.
