Chief Executive Officer

Tampa, Florida

Wildpath

Date Posted: 7/1/2026

Wildpath Overview

Wildpath is a conservation production company that utilizes film and photography to identify and protect wildlife corridors. By telling the stories of wide-ranging wildlife, and the habitats they connect, Wildpath inspires the public policies and movements needed to restore balance to our planet. Wildpath is currently leading storytelling and policy campaigns to protect wildlife corridors in Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, and is working to scale this model to the rest of the country and globally through their Connected Planet project, which launched in collaboration with the National Geographic Society in 2025.

Wildpath was co-founded by Carlton Ward Jr., a conservation photographer and National Geographic Explorer who created the bipartisan movement to name and protect the 18-million-acre Florida Wildlife Corridor, and Suzie Ward, an attorney and strategist. Alongside his fine art photography and photojournalism, Carlton has decades of experience launching and funding nonprofit organizations, and he and his team aim to build a sustainable business infrastructure that can support multiple storytelling and policy campaigns at the same time. 

Wildpath’s revenue streams include: (1) mission-restricted funds raised through collaboration with the National Geographic Society, which holds charitable status on behalf of donors; and (2) earned revenue through contracts with government and institutional clients, including the U.S. Department of Defense, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and Florida Department of Agriculture. Future income plans include Wildpath as a public-facing retail brand connected to the movements of wildlife and protection of wildlife corridors.

The Wildpath Foundation was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation in early 2026 and will grow as a vehicle for Wildpath’s mission.

Position Summary & Context for Recruitment

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO), a function currently held by Carlton Ward, Jr., will work closely with the organization’s founders in managing the business. The CEO will be the operational backbone of Wildpath and a strategic partner to the founders as well as a hands-on leader for a small, dynamic staff and network of contractors. This individual will supervise all aspects of the business, establishing strategic and annual operating plans, metrics, and budgets across all areas of work. 

The CEO will ensure that business operations match the nimbleness and professional excellence of Wildpath’s artistic and conservation work. The CEO will lead the organizational integration of Wildpath and its affiliated entities (Lasting Hope LLC, which holds all activities related to the Sylvia Earle feature-length documentary; Wildpath Foundation; Florida Wild LLC; and Carlton Ward Photography LLC), with authority to assess and optimize structure and functional alignment in consultation with the founders. They will ensure staff and initiatives operate as a coherent, strategically aligned whole while maintaining appropriate legal and operational boundaries across entities to ensure compliance and mitigate risk.

The CEO will provide leadership and strategic engagement with the founders for Wildpath’s Connected Planet project, which has been created in collaboration with the National Geographic Society to scale Wildpath’s model of accelerating the identification and protection of wildlife corridors through storytelling via a global network of National Geographic Explorers. The CEO will ensure effective management of this critical collaboration with National Geographic and joint fundraising. Some Connected Planet functions are expected to grow within National Geographic (e.g., hiring of a Connected Planet project director envisioned to be employed by National Geographic). The scope of National Geographic’s functions should grow as Connected Planet scales. The CEO will support the founders in developing and sustaining various additional partnerships related to Connected Planet and, over time, grow into personally managing key partner relationships. The CEO will participate in a range of regular meetings with the full range of partner organizations.

A strategic priority for incoming leadership is growing Wildpath’s earned revenue and scalable commercial ventures, including potential new business lines, as well as contributed revenue, while preserving the integrity of mission-restricted funds.

This is a senior, in-person role based in the Tampa Bay area (Wildpath will selectively consider a hybrid work model as needed for strong candidates), with periodic business travel – well-suited for a leader who thrives on building systems, developing teams, and bringing structure to creative, mission-driven organizations. To lead Wildpath, the candidate should have proven leadership in for-profit business management and development, and familiarity with nonprofit organizations.

Candidate Profile

Wildpath will consider a broad range of backgrounds. The ideal candidate will align with the following: 

• Deep connection to Wildpath’s mission and meaningful familiarity with modern conservation initiatives.

• An experienced and entrepreneurial leader who thrives in small, fast-moving organizations and knows how to bring clarity and structure without stifling creativity.

• 10+ years of experience leading teams, ideally in creative, media, or mission-driven environments, with proven leadership in for-profit business management and development. Experience with nonprofit organizations, philanthropic funding, or hybrid models is a strong plus.

• Able to operate in dynamic or evolving environments, make decisions amid ambiguity, and build organizational systems while simultaneously executing against goals.

Public awareness remains the single biggest bottleneck in Al safety. Fortunately, the public's interest in Al safety is growing extremely quickly. Videos, articles, and social posts about Al safety are now reaching millions, and public curiosity is compounding by the week.

• Work the comments: reply, hold the frame, and seed discussion on and around our posts.

• Build the amplifier network (creators, clippers, and power-listeners who re-share us) via direct outreach and ready-to-run clips.

• Run social listening, and stand up the social playbook, calendar, and stack (within the brand system) for future hires to scale.

What We're Looking For

• 5–7 years on brand or creator social accounts, with audience growth to show.

• A strong writer who makes technical ideas land in plain language.

• Native platform fluency and a community-builder's instinct.

• Exceptional judgment and autonomy.

Benefits:

• Health insurance for you and your dependents

• 401K plan + 4% matching

Program Officer, Learning & Impact

Hybrid (New York, NY)

Surdna Foundation

Date Posted: 6/04/2026

About Surdna Foundation

The Surdna Foundation was founded by John E. Andrus in 1917, and its mission is to advance social and racial justice in U.S. communities. The foundation has assets of more than $1 billion, an annual grantmaking budget of over $53 million, and a staff of 24. It is governed by a Board of Directors that includes fifth-generation members of the Andrus family, as well as community members. Surdna pursues its mission by providing grants in the areas of arts and culture, environmental justice, economic inclusion, and youth justice, as well as through its communications, internal operations, and investment practices. In addition, Surdna seeks to achieve three foundation-wide racial equity outcomes: wealth creation, democratic participation, and accountability of institutions. 

The foundation strives to exemplify its core values—justice, equity, inclusion, respect, and humility—in every aspect of its work. Surdna’s staff contribute to an organizational culture of collaboration, curiosity, and bold thinking.

Surdna is a hybrid workplace where 2-3 days per week are spent together collaboratively with other foundation staff and partners.

The Opportunity

The Learning & Impact Officer is a strategic leader who will help guide learning initiatives and strengthen Surdna’s organizational capacity to learn from our grantmaking, apply lessons to improve effectiveness, and share our experiences to inform the field. This role sits within our Communications & Engagement team—a deliberate placement that reflects our commitment to cross-functional collaboration, synthesis, sense-making, storytelling, and dissemination. Learning is only valuable when it is shared.

The Learning & Impact Officer reports to the VP, Communications & Engagement and works closely with program, grants operations, impact investing, finance and administration teams, grantee partners, and external consultants to ensure that learning informs our decision-making internally and contributes knowledge to grantees and the broader field.

Core Responsibilities

The Learning & Impact Officer will be a thought partner, synthesizer, and storyteller. We are looking for someone who can hold the complexity of a multi-program foundation while helping staff and board find the questions, patterns, and insights that sharpen strategy, strengthen relationships with grantees, align learning with the foundation’s priorities, and advance Surdna’s mission.

This role supports the foundation’s ongoing learning through analysis, evaluation, storytelling, and the delivery of actionable opportunities to strengthen Surdna’s culture of learning. The ideal candidate will be familiar with the equitable evaluation and emergent learning frameworks to drive learning, enhance strategic clarity, and track effectiveness over time.

Learning, Synthesis, and Storytelling (70%)

• Strengthen organizational capacity for learning, grounded in Surdna's commitments to racial justice, trust-based philanthropy, accountability, and rigorous learning from successes and failures

• Identify and synthesize key trends, stories, and insights across programs, grants operations, and impact investing, and make that synthesis actionable

• Illustrate Surdna’s impact with compelling data and stories, using qualitative and quantitative information to capture the foundation’s learning and impact

• Partner with grants management, grantmaking, and impact investing teams to collect, maintain, and analyze data, metrics, and indicators that are low-burden and high-value for grantees, partners, staff, and board

• Support strategy reviews for continuous learning and adaptation, including programmatic strategy reviews and annual i4 (intent, implementation, influence, and impact) assessments, with data analysis and synthesis

• Connect internal learning to external contexts, including field-wide trends, emerging research, and the political and economic environment

• Create high-quality data visualizations, summative reports, and other presentation materials for internal and external learning

• Stay abreast of trends and practices in the philanthropic sector and racial justice field.

Project Management & Dissemination (30%)

• Collaborate with the communications and grantmaking teams to ensure learning is shared — with staff, board, grantees, and the field — through a range of formats and channels

• Lead projects and consultants on assigned projects related to learning

• Develop, support, and maintain internal structures and systems for cross-program sharing; and develop specific tools that anchor a culture of learning, both institution-wide and within each program.

Candidate Profile

We are looking for a collaborative, flexible, and continuous learner who is committed to advancing the Surdna Foundation's social justice and racial equity mission. The ideal candidate understands learning as a partnership rather than oversight and brings:

• Superb qualitative and quantitative analytical skills, with the ability to surface the human stories behind the data and translate both into insights that inform strategy and strengthen accountability.

• Curiosity and humility, with a knack for spotting patterns, working with unstructured or incomplete data, and holding complexity in a social and racial justice context where "impact" is often achieved over a long horizon.

• Relational intelligence to build trust across the foundation and with grantees to co-create learning strategies.

• Synthesizing and facilitation instincts that create the conditions to develop a culture of learning, sense-making, and continuous improvement.

• Sector literacy grounded in knowledge of the best practices and tensions around learning and evaluation, grantee burden, and trust-based practices.

In addition, strong candidates will offer:

• At least 8-10 years of experience in strategic learning, evaluation, data journalism, or knowledge management in a philanthropic, nonprofit, or social sector context.

• Demonstrated experience co-designing learning strategies that align with systems change and social justice across diverse teams and functions.

• Strong ability to collect, analyze, and synthesize data, surfacing patterns and insights across a complex portfolio and communicating them clearly to diverse audiences.

• Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to inform and inspire audiences through compelling data visualizations, stories, patterns, and lessons learned.

• Capacity to effectively use research—and support evaluations led by consultants—for learning and strategy development.

• A collaborative, self-directed, and resourceful working style, equally comfortable leading a strategy conversation and building a spreadsheet.

• Experience with Fluxx, Tableau, and data visualization a strong plus.

• Comfort navigating ambiguity, balancing rigor with adaptability, and modeling curiosity.

• A commitment to ethical standards, transparency, and accountability.

• Ability to take the work seriously, but not themselves.

What Success Looks Like

In this role, you will know your work is succeeding when grantees experience Surdna's reporting and metrics as useful for their own work, when program teams can adapt strategies based on what they're learning from the field, and when staff and board engage in substantive learning conversations that explore challenges and emergent opportunities to advance our mission. You will help make learning a part of Surdna’s culture that advances racial justice and strengthens the foundation’s and partners’ effectiveness and accountability.

Compensation and Benefits

The salary range for the Program Officer, Learning & Impact is $125,000 - $137,500, commensurate with experience.

This position is a full-time position, and Surdna offers a leading and holistic total compensation package that includes salary and benefits. All full-time staff are eligible for Surdna’s generous benefits package including:

• 100% employer-funded medical, dental, and vision coverage, life insurance, and long- and short-term disability from the first day of employment for individuals and dependents

• Retirement plan with an overall employer contribution of 12% per annum of gross salary, regardless of employee contribution

• Flexible time off policy that empowers staff to take time as needed for rest, self-care, and personal responsibilities

• 8 wellness days per year

• 12 paid holidays, including select extended holiday breaks with foundation-wide closure to encourage restorative time-off

• All employees receive a foundation-issued cell phone

• Home office equipment allowance

• Employer-funded transit contribution of $140/month

• Access to professional development opportunities (capacity and financial support) and tuition reimbursement

• Fully paid parent leave (maternal and paternal) during the new child’s first year (born into the family or adopted)

• Financial relocation support

• To encourage community giving, Surdna matches employee charitable contributions at a 5:1 ratio, with a minimum $100 donation eligible for matching
