Summer Environmental Education Director

ABOUT US Elevation Capital is a group of internationally impactful companies spanning consumer packaged goods, hospitality, technology, real estate, non-profit, and venture funding. Run by a highly entrepreneurial self-made founder, and supported by a team of highly capable executives across business units, the business operates globally with interests in the US, Canada, Europe, and the Caribbean. With wholly owned companies in various growth stages and an expanding investment portfolio, this group collectively serves a global vision to create an evolved world where humanity reaches its highest potential. We are seeking a Director of Strategic Initiatives to partner directly with the CEO, Chief of Staff, and leadership team across the Executive Office, Family Office, and portfolio companies. You will be deployed into the company’s most critical priorities — from solving complex operational challenges to standing up new initiatives and driving cross-functional projects to the finish line. As the firm’s master generalist, you will research, analyze, and organize information, build systems to bring order to chaos, and deliver clear recommendations that accelerate decision-making. For the right candidate, it offers an unparalleled opportunity to gain exposure at the highest level, work across diverse industries, and accelerate your career alongside a team that is building at speed.
You are our company’s master generalist and infinite learner with a “been there done that” foundation. Not only do you love to learn, but with a strong background and thorough understanding of organizational management, you have become a one-of-a-kind in how you field and deploy solutions. You use data driven models to provide insight and keep tabs on where we currently are and the direct path to where we need to be.
The ability to think on your feet, take charge, be creative, and be dependable are key traits we are looking for in this position. The expectations are demanding — but for the right person, the upside is unmatched: direct visibility to the Founder and leadership team, exposure to high-stakes decisions across the Executive Office, Family Office, and portfolio companies, and the opportunity to accelerate your career in ways few roles can offer.
