Tech Impact is seeking a strategic, entrepreneurial, and externally focused Director of Data Innovation & AI to lead the Data Innovation Lab through its next stage of growth.
A central priority will be creating practical, responsible, and accessible artificial intelligence offerings for small and mid-sized nonprofit organizations. These may include funder-sponsored cohorts, bootcamps, workshops, assessments, implementation projects, and advisory services that help nonprofits use AI, automation, data, and information systems to strengthen their operations and impact.
The Senior Director will serve as a visible representative of the Data Innovation Lab, building relationships with government agencies, foundations, nonprofit leaders, and other partners. The successful candidate will combine business development and fundraising ability with enough knowledge of AI, data, and nonprofit operations to identify opportunities, shape credible programs, and guide multidisciplinary teams.
The Senior Director will help guide the Lab’s transition from its current ARPA-funded portfolio to a sustainable mix of government funding, philanthropic grants, capacity-building initiatives, and earned revenue from nonprofit consulting and technology projects. The position will oversee the responsible wind-down of ARPA-funded work through December 31, 2026, while developing the partnerships, programs, and revenue pipeline needed to sustain and grow the team going forward.

• Develop and execute a multiyear strategy that positions the Data Innovation Lab as a leading provider of practical, responsible AI and data solutions for the nonprofit sector.
• Lead the Lab’s transition from ARPA-supported operations to a diversified and sustainable funding model.
• Oversee the orderly completion and wind-down of ARPA-funded programs, projects, staffing commitments, reporting, and partner relationships through December 31, 2026.
• Establish annual priorities, revenue targets, program goals, budgets, staffing plans, and performance measures in collaboration with Tech Impact’s executive team.
• Maintain a clear understanding of nonprofit technology needs and translate those needs into scalable, fundable services and programs.

• Build and manage a qualified pipeline designed to generate approximately $3 million in annual revenue from government contracts, foundation grants, capacity-building initiatives, and fee-for-service projects.
• Cultivate relationships with government agencies and philanthropic funders interested in nonprofit capacity building, responsible AI adoption, data maturity, civic technology, and equitable access to technology.
• Identify relevant funding opportunities and lead or contribute to proposals, scopes of work, budgets, presentations, and contract negotiations.
• Develop partnerships with nonprofit networks, community organizations, technology providers, academic institutions, and subject-matter experts.
• Work closely with executive leadership, development, marketing, finance, and program staff to coordinate fundraising, sales, pricing, contracting, and revenue forecasting.
• Create pathways that move organizations from workshops and speaking engagements into assessments, cohort programs, consulting engagements, and implementation projects.

• Design a portfolio of AI-centered services appropriate for small and mid-sized nonprofits, emphasizing practical value, accessibility, responsible use, privacy, security, and organizational readiness.
• Develop repeatable offerings such as AI-readiness assessments, executive education, staff bootcamps, funder-sponsored learning cohorts, workflow automation projects, data-system improvements, and implementation support.
• Ensure that programs address real nonprofit needs rather than promoting technology for its own sake.
• Establish standards for responsible AI use, including appropriate attention to data privacy, bias, transparency, security, human oversight, and the risks faced by vulnerable communities.
• Evaluate emerging tools and trends and determine which technologies are sufficiently useful, responsible, and mature to incorporate into the Lab’s work.
• Collaborate with technical staff and external experts to ensure that proposed solutions are credible, feasible, and deliverable.

• Lead, support, and develop a multidisciplinary team that may include data scientists, data engineers, developers, project and program staff, and fellows.
• Create a sustainable staffing structure for a department of approximately six to eight employees, aligned with confirmed revenue and projected demand.
• Set clear expectations for project quality, utilization, timelines, budgets, client experience, and measurable outcomes.
• Guide the development of project scopes and delivery plans while empowering technical leads to make appropriate implementation decisions.
• Monitor the financial and operational health of the Lab’s portfolio, including pipeline, contracted revenue, project margins, staff capacity, delivery risks, and client satisfaction.
• Foster a collaborative, inclusive, learning-oriented culture that connects technical excellence with Tech Impact’s social-impact mission.

• Serve as a primary spokesperson and ambassador for the Data Innovation Lab.
• Represent Tech Impact through in-person and virtual conferences, panels, webinars, funder briefings, community meetings, and other speaking engagements.
• Translate complex AI and data topics into clear, useful language for nonprofit executives, program leaders, funders, and government partners.
• Develop presentations, articles, case studies, demonstrations, and other thought‑leadership materials that strengthen the Lab’s reputation and generate qualified leads.
• Listen actively to nonprofit and community stakeholders and bring their needs into the Lab’s program and service design.

• Establish and begin implementing a clear post-ARPA strategy for the Data Innovation Lab.
• Build a credible, diversified pipeline capable of supporting the Lab’s annual revenue goal.
• Secure meaningful new government, philanthropic, and earned-revenue commitments.
• Launch a focused portfolio of market-tested AI and automation offerings for nonprofits.
• Develop strong relationships with priority funders, government agencies, nonprofit networks, and prospective clients.
• Complete ARPA-funded commitments responsibly and maintain effective relationships with the State of Delaware and other partners.
• Align staffing and operating costs with the Lab’s confirmed and anticipated revenue.
• Increase the Lab’s visibility through high-quality speaking engagements and thought leadership that produce measurable partnership and sales opportunities.

• Progressively responsible experience in nonprofit leadership including technology consulting, government programs, philanthropy, technology services, business development, or a related field.
• Demonstrated success developing significant revenue through government contracts, foundation grants, institutional partnerships, consulting engagements, or a combination of these sources.
• Experience building and managing a business-development or fundraising pipeline, including opportunity qualification, proposal development, budgeting, relationship management, and closing.

• Familiarity with AI governance, data privacy, cybersecurity, change management, and technology adoption in resource-constrained organizations.
• Experience overseeing consulting or professional-services work, including pricing, contracting, utilization, and project economics.
• Experience successfully transitioning a program or department from time-limited grant funding to a diversified revenue model.

• Entrepreneurial: Able to recognize opportunities and turn broad ideas into fundable, deliverable programs.
• Externally oriented: Energized by relationship building, public speaking, partnership development, and revenue generation.
• Technically credible: Conversant in AI and data without needing to be the team’s most advanced engineer or data scientist.
