New York, NY or Washington, D.C.

Color of Change

Date Posted: 8/19/2025

A Compelling Opportunity 

Color Of Change is the nation’s largest online racial  justice organization. It is a powerful force for racial  justice, driven by millions of members nationwide,  and it is needed now more than ever. At this  defining moment in America, Color Of Change  seeks a visionary leader and President to steer the  nation’s most influential digital organizing force for  Black communities through transformative change,  while deepening and accelerating its mission to  advance racial justice and demand accountability  from corporations and government.  

Color Of Change stands as a respected and  often feared voice across Corporate America,  Hollywood, and Washington, backed by millions  of members who are mobilized for action to  respond effectively to injustice and challenge the  narrative and rules that limit their freedoms. With  unparalleled digital innovation capabilities, having  pioneered peer-to-peer texting, email campaigns,  and online organizing designed explicitly for Black  communities, Color Of Change has a strong track  record of winning real victories on democracy and  economic justice issues. It leverages corporate  pressure and narrative strategy, mobilizing its  member base nationwide.  

The next President of Color Of Change has the  opportunity to lead one of the most influential racial  justice organizations in America through a pivotal  moment. This leader will help citizens make sense  of their outrage by providing a place for them to  be heard, counted, and visible, creating pathways  for genuine action beyond statements and social  media posts. Success requires a leader who can  honor the organization’s innovative legacy while  strengthening the infrastructure needed for long term sustainability and impact. The ideal candidate  will combine visionary thinking with operational  excellence, movement credibility with management  skills, and the courage to challenge powerful  interests with the wisdom to build lasting change. 

The Mandate 

The next President must serve as both a stabilizing  force and a visionary leader during a critical inflection point for the organization, and during  an unprecedented time in American history when  civil rights are being systematically dismantled.  With the organization in a time of transition, the  incoming leader will strengthen internal cohesion  through transparent communication and authentic  relationship building.  

This turbulent national moment also presents an  unprecedented opportunity for transformational  leadership within the broader movement  landscape. The current political chaos has created  a wide-open space for an organization with a  clear vision and a bold strategy to emerge as a  defining voice in racial justice organizing. The next  President must possess the strategic foresight to  capitalize on this, positioning the organization  as the architect of innovative approaches that  will shape the next generation of social justice  organizing. The role demands a leader capable  of institutional transformation, someone who  can evolve the organization while maintaining its  commitment to real change for real people. This  President must balance operational excellence with  movement leadership, building robust systems  while maintaining the agility necessary to guide  both the organization and the broader movement  through unprecedented challenges toward lasting  systemic change.  

Key Responsibilities of the Next President are: 

Strategic Vision & Movement Leadership

You’ll also mentor junior team members and present your work in ways that are compelling, practical, and aligned with each client’s goals.

Founded in 2005, Marketing for Change helps foundations, nonprofits, governments and companies “do good better.” Our 25-plus team includes copywriters, filmmakers, designers, researchers, developers and strategists — not to mention musicians, artists, podcasters, kayakers, and mountaineers. Because that part of life is just as important as work. 

This position will be located in one of our work hubs in Alexandria, VA, or Orlando, FL. We are mostly a hybrid workforce with staff working together in-person at least one day a week because we value the fun and collaboration that allows.

About the GitLab Foundation

The GitLab Foundation is committed to helping people grow their lifetime earnings through education, training, access to employment, and systems change on a global scale. Our North Star is to maximize increases in lifetime earnings for every dollar we invest, with an ambitious target of generating over $100 in lifetime earnings gains per dollar spent. We focus on supporting individuals earning below a living wage, to enable them to achieve meaningful, sustained improvements in their lives. Our vision is a world in which one million more people can afford a better life.

Building upon our core work of high-impact grantmaking and systems change, in 2025 the GitLab Foundation launched two new strategic initiatives to extend its impact further: 1) an advisory services practice that supports peer foundations in impact modeling and measurement, and 2) a donor engagement strategy designed to attract and mobilize additional values-aligned capital. Together, these ventures position the GitLab Foundation to have a growing influence in the sector. 

The GitLab Foundation is an independent private foundation affiliated with GitLab Inc.
