Senior Manager of Development and Justice Partnerships: Equity Research Cooperative

Overview

The Equity Research Cooperative (EqRC) seeks a Senior Manager of Development to manage the organization’s funding sustainability and cultivate strategic partnerships that advance its social justice mission. EqRC is a rapidly growing organization seeking to establish and sustain a social justice research agenda, a praxis for redistribution, and an inclusive working environment. We recognize the unique experiences and perspectives that women of color bring, and they are invaluable to our team’s success, so we strongly encourage them to apply. We hope you’ll join us as we work to bring this dream to life.

EqRC is a fully remote organization without the option to work in person. This is a salaried position. The Senior Manager of Development is expected to work 35 hours a week. The successful applicant will be detail-oriented, have excellent communication skills, embody social justice research and a praxis approach, and value working in an organization with a flat leadership structure in a sociocracy setting. At the same time, we have intentional hierarchical dynamics within projects and processes to uplift expertise, seniority, and effectiveness. To succeed in our cooperative setting, an applicant must be open to learning and unlearning approaches to navigating emotional, value-driven, and interpersonal collaborations.

EqRC is committed to supporting the Senior Manager of Development role in a manner that sustains and fulfills personal and professional objectives. This position will work collaboratively with the Director of Freedom Dreams in our Strategy Circle. Please note that EqRC is a small, growing organization, and all roles may have other duties assigned when unexpected situations and opportunities arise.

About the Organization

Mission

The Equity Research Cooperative (EqRC) is a non-profit research collective that advances the social, economic, educational, and political emancipation of communities of color through community-engaged research, advocacy, and the praxis of redistribution. As a People of Color interdisciplinary research cooperative, we strategically redistribute our financial resources, academic capital, and operational support to social justice initiatives, organizations, and movements that redress structural oppression.

Vision

We are guided by a deep and abiding freedom dream: one day Black and Brown communities will receive and experience dynamic reparative justice, and the depth and breadth of white supremacy, heteropatriarchy, and capitalism will be addressed. On this day, Black and Brown communities will stand in the power of their sovereignty. We embrace this vision as a rich inheritance of social justice movements before us and the radical love we share with one another. This is our dream.

Structure

We have four circles (teams) that oversee our research, advocacy, grassroots redistribution, operations, and grant development. Organizational Circle leads EqRC’s operational, HR, and financial processes. Strategy Circle drives our grant-securing strategy, financial and technical assistance redistribution to grassroots partners, and special projects for the organization. Research Circle manages several projects from medium to large size that include mixed-method data collection and analysis, relationship management with external partners, management of project consultants, and the reporting of deliverables (e.g., reports and presentations). Central Circle has a rotating representative from each of the above circles, and together, they develop, propose, and approve policies and processes that govern EqRC and its personnel. Please note that EqRC is a small, growing organization, and all roles may have other duties assigned when unexpected situations and opportunities arise.

Equitable Cooperative Approach

Chief Development Officer: Opera Philadelphia

Now in its 49th season, Opera Philadelphia stands at the forefront of innovation, redefining opera for our time. As the region’s premier opera producer and one of the country’s most influential companies, Opera Philadelphia continues to expand and transform as a vibrant hub for operatic experiences, connecting audiences and artists in ways that give voice to the present, reimagine the past, and shape the future of the art form for generations to come.

Founded as a regional company focused on traditional productions in a single venue, Opera Philadelphia has evolved into an internationally celebrated trailblazer in contemporary opera. Praised by The New York Timesas a “hotbed of operatic innovation,” the company remains committed to 21st-century opera while actively performing in its original home at the historic Academy of Music. Opera Philadelphia also creates interdisciplinary experiences in diverse spaces across the city—from immersive performances at the Barnes Foundation and the Philadelphia Museum of Art to pop-up cabaret shows in converted garages, and free outdoor screenings on Independence Mall for tens of thousands of Philadelphians.

While honoring the legacy of the operatic canon, Opera Philadelphia leads in developing groundbreaking new works. Since 2011, the company has commissioned or co-commissioned numerous acclaimed operas from prominent composers such as Jennifer Higdon, Missy Mazzoli, Kevin Puts, and Nico Muhly, fostering a new generation of operatic storytelling. Key partnerships, including a recent multi-year collaboration with the Apollo Theater, aim to co-create a new canon of Black American opera, underscoring Opera Philadelphia’s commitment to authentic storytelling and creative diversity.

In 2017, Opera Philadelphia positioned Philadelphia as an international opera destination with the launch of Festival O, a 10-day immersive celebration of opera across the city. This annual festival has premiered groundbreaking works, such as We Shall Not Be Moved by Daniel Bernard Roumain and Marc Bamuthi Joseph, 10 Days in a Madhouse by Rene Orth and Hannah Moscovitch, and Anthony Roth Costanzo’s genre-blending Glass Handel, along with iconic productions of classics like Verdi’s Simon Boccanegra, recitals, and late-night cabaret performances.

Opera Philadelphia has also become a nurturing ground for rising vocal talents. Artists like Eric Owens, Stephanie Blythe, Denyce Graves, Jarrett Ott, and Will Liverman have all gained early exposure on its stages before achieving global acclaim. The company’s Emerging Artists Program is designed to develop the next generation of operatic stars.

In addition, Opera Philadelphia launched the country’s first comprehensive Composer in Residence program, offering individualized professional development to emerging opera composers. Alumni of the program include celebrated composers such as Lembit Beecher, Courtney Bryan, David Hertzberg, David T. Little, Missy Mazzoli, Andrew Norman, Rene Orth, and Tyshawn Sorey.
