In return, these experts learn about new markets, industries, social impact, have a lot of fun and sometimes work with their venture long-term.

As a Sourcing Partner, you will build personal relationships with executives across multiple industries, and identify opportunities for them to share their wisdom with inspiring ventures. You will thrive in this role if you love to work directly with executive-level leaders seeking to do good in the world. We are looking for someone with the drive and passion to collaborate across a spectrum of experienced stakeholders to find the right executive level volunteer to address their biggest business challenges. This role is unique because you will act as both the recruiter and the ‘hiring manager’ where you’ll collaborate with our Talent team to make the decision on which expert we choose for each engagement.
