Chief Executive Officer

IntermediaryEd, an emerging philanthropic organization, seeks a visionary leader to serve as its first chief executive officer (CEO). The organization was established in 2024 from the proceeds of the sale of ACT, Inc., the mission driven provider of assessments, research, and work-ready credentials that support education and workplace success.

The nascent organization is uniquely poised to serve as a leader in education and workplace success in the next decade and beyond. It will support innovative solutions to existing and emerging challenges to meaningful pathways to post-secondary training and education that lead to productive employment. Working closely with a highly committed and experienced board of directors to steward its $400 million endowment, the CEO will build the foundation for the organization, hire and grow a team, and establish IntermediaryEd as a national influencer and convener on topics related to its core mission. The CEO will bring a track record of growing high-performing enterprises, as well as a record of sophisticated executive leadership including direct involvement with boards, expertise in responsible business practices, and experience in the successful recruitment and cultivation of talent.

Location: The CEO and board will organize IntermediaryEd as a hybrid workplace, collaborating to determine the location of the office in a major metropolitan area that meets conditions established by the board. Though the CEO and staff need not live in the selected city, the IntermediaryEd team will convene in the office on a regular cadence.

Ericka Miller and Jeff Kessner are leading this search with Diana Carmona.
