Position Summary The President leads NCNK in partnership with the Board of Directors, the members, and a small staff. The role combines strategy, fundraising, programming, and external representation. The next leader will guide NCNK through significant transition—building a diversified financial base, evolving programming for a changing geopolitical landscape and diversified membership, and solidifying the organization’s independent footing. This is a hands-on role. The President’s name is on many of NCNK’s governing and financial documents, and the role requires staying close to the daily mechanics of the organization, not just setting strategic direction. Candidates should enter the process with a clear-eyed understanding of this reality. Responsibilities Strategic leadership and external representation. Set NCNK’s direction in partnership with the Board. Serve as the organization’s leading public voice across government, foundations, media, and the academic, humanitarian, and policy communities engaged with the Korean Peninsula. Position NCNK as a trusted platform for dialogue and a thought leader on future diplomatic and people-to-people engagement and peacebuilding. Fundraising and financial sustainability. Lead the development of a new financial model less reliant on traditional grants. Cultivate individual and institutional donors, as well as foundations and other possible sources of funding or revenue. Partner with the Board to launch a Development Committee and to build a culture of member-giving. (NCNK does not accept funds from any government or foreign-based entities.) Programming and membership. Convene NCNK’s signature gatherings—the East and West Coast annual member meetings, DC policy salons, in-person and remote seminars, and ongoing consultations across the engagement communities inside and outside the United States. Evolve programming in response to changes in U.S.-DPRK relations. Grow and engage NCNK’s membership as the organization’s principal asset and help cultivate the next generation of experts and practitioners working on North Korea and East Asia. Operations and team. Supervise and manage a small staff as well as bearing responsibility for NCNK’s overall financial and compliance operations. Allocation of time is currently split between NCNK programming and external representation (50%) and fundraising and administration (50%). Qualifications -- Leadership experience in a sector relevant to NCNK’s mission—nonprofit, policy, government, business, academic, humanitarian, philanthropy, journalism. -- Credibility on East Asia-related issues. Familiarity with the Korean Peninsula and U.S.-DPRK relations is an advantage, not a prerequisite. -- A record of building—organizations, programs, funding bases, or new directions—often under resource constraints. -- Substantive fundraising experience, including approaches beyond traditional foundation grants. • Strong communication skills with diverse audiences: members, policymakers, funders, scholars, practitioners, civil society organizations, and media. -- Sound judgment in politically sensitive environments. -- Comfort in a small, entrepreneurial organization. -- Willingness to be hands-on with financial, administrative, and compliance matters, not simply oversee them. -- Realistic expectations about the day-to-day, at times unglamorous, demands of leading a small, independent nonprofit.
