Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing
issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.
Radius is a place-based community transformation initiative built on a simple conviction: poverty is not a lack of programs, it's the presence of conditions that hold people back — and communities themselves, not outside institutions, are the ones who transform those conditions. Radius works alongside local leaders across our markets — Grand Rapids/West Michigan, Wichita, Oklahoma City, and Dallas — organized around the Seven Human Essentials: economic opportunity, transportation, education, safe and affordable housing, non-predatory financial tools, health and wellness, and relationships.
We don't parachute in with answers. We invest in the people closest to the problem and build the frameworks, standards, and rhythms that let their work compound across markets.
Radius is entering an exciting stage of growth, with a proven strategy, strong partnerships, and a track record of success across markets. As Director of Operations, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the next chapter of the organization by helping translate that success into a scalable, enduring operating model.
Working side-by-side with the Managing Director, you will help build the systems, rhythms, and standards that enable Radius to expand its reach and effectiveness. This is a unique opportunity to gain deep exposure to every aspect of the initiative, from market development and partnership strategy to execution in the field, while creating the operational foundation that supports long-term growth.
You will not manage from a distance. You will be in the work, in the markets, beside the Managing Director — and over time, you will hold more of the operating model yourself.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
