Station Northwest Arkansas, Executive Director

Executive Director

This is a role for a connector, a visionary, and a builder ready to make Northwest Arkansas a nationally recognized home for innovation. Station, powered by Station, is a new nonprofit entity launching in Bentonville, AR to increase connectivity between Northwest Arkansas' (NWA) entrepreneurial ecosystem and the rest of the country, with a special focus on dual-use and deep tech and its direct connection to innovation within manufacturing, supply chain and logistics.

As the inaugural Executive Director, you'll have the opportunity to shape this new hub from the ground up. You'll recruit and lead a talented local team, cultivating regional partnerships, and connecting NWA to a powerful national network of startups, investors, and government innovators. You'll collaborate with leaders from federal agencies like DARPA and U.S. Army Transformation and Training Command (T2COM), engage with creative partners like The Momentary, and build bridges between founders, funders, and Fortune 500s.
