    CEO or Chief Operations Officer, Chief Strategy Officer

    OP here--would you view Chief of Staff as another potential fit for the title of this person?

    I would view Chief of Staff as simple HR.

    This is a TALL order for a chief of staff! The Strategic Plan rollout and execution could fit into that bucket but in my org (Fortune 25) that would be a Chief Strategy Officer position. The Organizational Culture component is an HR function or C-suite imperative. They're the true vehicles of this change. This is a tone from the top issue. Leaders need to model this with their behavior and actions. Any employees need to be held accountable and measured on outcomes as part of their annual performance reviews. Unless you have HR or Organizational Behavior in your background, this could be a hard needle to move. Best wishes to you.

    No - to me, Chief of Staff is a higher level admin/exec assistant job or an HR admin job. What you've described is way above that level. You're dealing with the top level organization development and strategy, so definitely look for C-suite titles that fit what you do. Chief Strategy officer, Chief of Org development, Chief Operating Officer, or something similar. If you're not sure, look at the Bureau of Labor Statistics and see how they define what you do, as the job titles there are pretty standard in most industries. Also look at job boards (GlassDoor, Indeed, Idealist) and see what titles come up and how they match what you do. Don't sell yourself short with a limiting title. On your resume, highlight what you did under each of those areas to better explain your skill set and accomplishments to future employers.

    This is really solid advice.

    It depends on the NFP is it a school or university? I would say the president, if not it would be the Executive Director.

    Director of operations

    It depends on the size of the non-profit, but at the very least, a director (possibly Sr. Director or Exec Director/Asst. Exec Director) These tasks require a senior-management level title to have that type of responsibility. The SP tasks could be done by a member of the board of directors, but the rest require it be paid staff.

    Executive Director. Seriously. This needs to come from the top.

  11. Dr. Erica Walls

    Sounds like Executive Director or Board President.
