Job Description
About South Asian SOAR
South Asian SOAR is a national coalition dedicated to ending gender-based violence through culturally specific, survivor-centered approaches. The organization is currently transitioning from an early-stage, founder-led phase into a new chapter of growth and integration. This is a defining leadership moment for the movement, as SOAR seeks to scale its impact while preserving its relational heart.
About the Role
We are seeking an Executive Director to serve as a builder, strategist, and community leader. This role is designed for someone who has founded, built, or scaled organizations, initiatives, or movements, and who possesses the skills of a facilitator and convener capable of bringing diverse stakeholders into alignment around shared goals.
The ideal candidate combines compassion with conviction, bringing a trauma-informed and survivor-centered leadership approach. You will navigate complexity with clarity and have the confidence to lead SOAR into its next phase as a strong national movement. Your primary responsibility will be building what comes next: clarifying structure where needed, strengthening systems and culture, and scaling impact without losing the survivor-centered focus that defines the movement.
Impact and Vision
This position offers a rare opportunity for a values-driven, visionary leader to shape and grow an emerging national coalition. You will deepen regional and national impact by strengthening survivor-centered and member organization-centered approaches across capacity building, leadership development, organizing, research, and advocacy. In this role, you will help define the future of culturally specific, survivor-centered responses to gender-based violence in the United States.
