Mission

Genesys Works is a national leader in providing pathways to career success for high school students in underserved communities through skills training, meaningful work experiences with corporate partners, and impactful relationships. Currently in nine cities across the country, we are positioning ourselves to be a key player in workforce development for young people.

Purpose of Position

Founded in 2002 in Houston, Genesys Works currently operates in nine cities across the country and is positioned for future growth. As we continue building this new site, Genesys Works Nashville has an exciting opportunity for a strategic, entrepreneurial development leader to join our team as the Director of Corporate Partnerships and Development. Reporting directly to the Executive Director, the Director will be the site’s founding revenue staff member, responsible for designing and executing a multi-year revenue strategy and managing all aspects of earned and contributed revenue in a new market. This includes internship placement, institutional and individual giving, and relationship management.

The Director of Corporate Partnerships and Development must reside in the Nashville area and maintain an active presence in the community, regularly meeting with corporate partners, prospective employers, philanthropic donors, foundations, and other key stakeholders to cultivate relationships and advance revenue opportunities. The role requires participation in local business, philanthropic, and community networks, including the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, and other relevant organizations. Flexibility in attending meetings and events outside regular business hours is expected.

What type of person are we looking for?

Strong candidates are energized by the chance to help students succeed while contributing to a more diverse and inclusive workforce.

We need a strong collaborator who brings a strategic, creative, and solutions-oriented mindset. Someone who communicates effectively, builds strong relationships, and connects day-to-day work to broader organizational goals—whether in direct service or behind the scenes.

Our organizational values are putting our young people first, collaboration, sustainability, equity, and respect. These values are woven across all sites, teams, and positions. If you are someone who applies an equity lens in your approach, proactively identifies opportunities to reduce barriers and improve outcomes, this could be the next great fit you’re looking for.
