Executive Director, Crooked Ideas

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">At Crooked, we believe the answer to a rising authoritarian movement is a democratic movement powerful enough to fight it and (fingers crossed) defeat it. That means using all the tools at our disposal as a media company to help build a massive, diverse coalition united behind a core set of democratic values: freedom, equality, compassion, and the rule of law.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Job Summary:</strong></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Crooked is hiring for an <strong>Executive Director </strong>to lead <strong>Crooked Ideas, </strong> a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
