About the Role

We’re hiring a Director of Operations to build the systems that allow HIP to grow from 5 to around 14 people while significantly scaling our impact.

You’ll own HIP’s operations end to end (finance, legal and compliance, and people operations), including leading our move from fiscal sponsorship to operating as an independent 501(c)(3). You’ll work closely with our Executive Director and join our leadership team alongside our Director of Programs and Director of Marketing.

What You’ll Do

• Independence from our fiscal sponsor: lead HIP’s move from fiscal sponsorship to operating through our own 501(c)(3), planned for mid-2027, including banking, accounting, payroll and contractor payments, insurance, and the legal and compliance set-up that comes with it.
• Finance: own budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting, including audit-readiness, and work with the Executive Director on multi-year planning as we scale.
• People operations: contracts for an international, remote team, including updating and developing the relevant policies.
• Compliance: keep us compliant as an independent 501(c)(3), with the systems and processes that make it routine.
• Operations for new programs: set up the operational and administrative side of new lines of work as HIP adds programs.
• Build the function: design systems that work with minimal oversight, using automation and AI tools where they help.
