Talent Acquisition Manager

Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.

As a strategic partner to senior leaders, you’ll help ensure incoming talent not only has the skills to advance our work but also closely aligns with our mission, culture, and values.
