Account Director - Pro Bono Marketing Projects

Volunteer Your Skills to Help a Local Nonprofit

Volunteer Your Skills: The Taproot Foundation is a volunteer organization that builds teams of marketing and creative services professionals, human resources professionals, and information technology professionals to work on projects for Bay Area nonprofits. The Taproot Foundation lets you "give what you know" so that you can make the strongest impact on your local community while networking and growing professionally. We are looking for seasoned professionals to join our growing network of volunteers.




Taproot Foundation is currently seeking seasoned leaders to volunteer as Account Directors on our upcoming pro bono projects. The Account Director is the most senior Service Grant volunteer and typically oversees two to three Service Grants concurrently. The Account Director ensures that the grantee client is ready to begin a project, negotiates project issues such as scope or timelines that the project manager cannot resolve, pre-sells deliverables, coaches the program manager on possible internal political challenges, and ensures that the client is both upholding their responsibilities and ultimately pleased with the project. With the Taproot Foundation volunteer team, the Account Director makes final staffing decisions, reviews deliverables for quality and coaches the project managers.




A successful Account Director volunteer has managed team leaders, feels comfortable negotiating executive or board-level relationships, and has experience directly related to one of our grant areas (i.e. marketing, database/IT, or human resources.) Account Directors typically have held at least director, vice president, or partner level roles in their professional careers.






New projects will be staffing soon. Apply TODAY to be eligible to attend an upcoming Orientation session and get started!
