  • Oversee the Ambassador Program, guiding strategic public appearances and cultivating relationships that expand the organization’s visibility and influence.
  • Serve as the cross‑functional liaison throughout U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation programs to ensure alignment with strategic priorities and integrated collaboration across teams.
  • Supervise the director of Special Events to ensure event excellence and flawless execution.
  • Lead special projects as assigned, applying strategic insight and operational agility.
  • Qualifications :

  • A minimum of 10 years of progressively responsible leadership experience, ideally within nonprofit, government, or corporate stakeholder environments.
  • Proven ability to develop and drive organizational strategy and translate high‑level goals into measurable initiatives.
  • A strong track record in managing large‑scale events, program execution, and stakeholder engagement.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with experience in high‑level partner, board, or council engagement.
  • Ability to cultivate and maintain strategic relationships with corporate, military, and nonprofit partners.
  • Demonstrated success in supervising and mentoring high‑performing teams.
