CultureWorks Greater Philadelphia (“CultureWorks”) seeks a strategic and equity focused leader experienced in facilitating growth and change in an organization undergoing transition to serve as Co-Executive Director – External Relations and Organizational Strategy. This is a new role that reflects an evolution in organizational structure for CultureWorks. This posting is for the first position, with the second Co-Executive Director – Operations and Internal Culture to be hired in mid- to late 2024.

The Co-Executive Directors will report to the Board and represent the mission and vision of CultureWorks to the community at large, including funders, the government, the corporate sector, the many individuals and organizations that flourish as part of their member community as well as other key community partners. The Co-Executive Directors will work closely with the Board and the senior management team to develop and maintain a high level of quality and strategic vision regarding services, programs, policies and systems for CultureWorks and its sister entity, CultureTrust Greater Philadelphia (“CultureTrust”) (fiscal sponsorship arm) and to continue the organizational change process that is currently underway. The Co-Executive Directors will exercise executive powers for CultureWorks and CultureTrust.

About CultureWorks

CultureWorks was organized in 2010 as a management commons for the arts, heritage, and creative communities — a platform of space, human capital and services to help artists not only survive, but flourish. Between their fiscally sponsored projects and space members, CultureWorks provides equitable access to management resources for both individuals and organizations, the makers and preservers of culture. The commons is inspired by a means of community based economic and social support practiced within a vast variety of cultures, regions and time periods: The sharing of resources and harnessing of collective power.

CultureWorks currently serves 150 members, provides fiscal sponsorship to 88 organizations and has an operating budget of $1,100,000.

A Board of directors, composed of external and CultureWorks members, works closely with the staff. In a step towards adopting an organizational model that supports distributed power and decision-making, the Board recently moved to a Co-President model, with seats designated for a member organization and an external board member.

THE ORGANIZATION

The Institute of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas is an international community of Roman Catholic women who dedicate their lives to God through vows of poverty, chastity, obedience, and service. For more than 185 years, motivated by the Gospel of Jesus and inspired by the spirit of their founder Catherine McAuley, the Sisters of Mercy have responded to the continually changing needs of the times. With approximately 2,000 sisters in the Americas, they strive to make a difference in the lives of those in need in North, South, and Central America, the Caribbean, Guam, and the Philippines. This vast geography brings a richness of cultures and opportunities for service to God’s people and for sharing the mission of Mercy.

The Sisters serve in ministries founded and operated by the Sisters of Mercy and those sponsored by other groups. The unifying thread is that all Sisters of Mercy take life-long vows of poverty, chastity, obedience, and service. They are also guided by the five Critical Concerns: care for the Earth, immigration, nonviolence, racism, and women. Sustained and inspired by their relationship with God and one another, the mission of the Sisters of Mercy is to respond with vision and compassion to the needs of people who are poor, sick, and uneducated.

Background & History

In 1991, Mercy communities and individual Sisters came together to form the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy, identifying opportunities for greater collaboration, building of relationships, and options for ministry among themselves as they recognized the potential that comes from pursuing a collective course of action. This evaluation, reflection, and planning has focused on new ways to strengthen identity and mission while preserving assets and providing for meaningful ministry and retirement for members.

For the past several years, the Sisters of Mercy have been engaged in a massive process of organizational change, described as the Journey of Oneness. Through the Journey of Oneness, Sisters of Mercy have been reimagining and redesigning structures to be more supportive and responsive to their own needs as an international community. The heart of the Journey of Oneness is about sustaining the mission of Mercy into the future. The organization is led by the Institute Leadership Team (ILT) of five elected Sisters of Mercy with appointed Institute Ministers and Sisters Life Ministers. Management of key functions has been centralized.
