Executive Director
Endless Frontiers
Endless Frontiers is seeking an Executive Director who will develop and implement a comprehensive fundraising strategy, operationalize the organization, grow its annual retreat, build the Demand Signal convening series, and guide ongoing innovation. The Executive Director, as EF’s initial sole employee, will have both strategic leadership responsibilities as well as day-to-day responsibilities for standing up and running a new organization.
While Endless Frontiers is open to candidates anywhere in the United States, the Executive Director should be able to maintain a regular presence in Austin, Texas—with a preference for candidates located in Austin, TX, Washington, D.C., or New York City.
America faces a decisive decade. The decisions made in the next few years will determine whether America or its rivals write the history of the twenty-first century. China's industrial expansion, technological ambition, and military buildup is relentless. On current course and speed, the country risks ceding that future within the decade.
Endless Frontiers was created to change that calculus. Inspired by Vannevar Bush's landmark postwar report, Endless Frontiers convenes the leaders most capable of rebuilding the foundations of American strength — policymakers, founders, scientists, investors, journalists, and military leaders — in a setting designed for candor, trust, and action-oriented problem solving. The initiative was built for a single purpose: to accelerate America's effort to win.
"What we need now is a builder. My co-chairs and I can open doors, convene the right people, and help raise resources. We need a partner who wakes up every morning thinking about how to turn an annual retreat and cross-disciplinary community into a durable American institution. As Executive Director, you would own the program, the community, the team, the partnerships, and the strategy for the decade ahead. You would inherit a network most organizations spend twenty years assembling, and the freedom to decide what we build with it." — Jordan Blashek, Chair of the Board of Directors
