 Full job description

About Feeding Washington
Feeding Washington is a regional cooperative of Washington food banks sourcing food grown in the Northwest and distributing it to its members and across the Feeding America network. Our two member organizations, Food Lifeline and Second Harvest provide food to more than 600 partner organizations that feed approximately one million people across the entire State of Washington every year.

It is a shared system built on trust, coordination, collaboration, and the belief that we can do more together than we can alone. Success here depends on partnership. The work only moves forward if people choose to move together.

About the Role
This is a remote position, but the Executive Director must live in Washington State and be available for regular travel across the region. We’re looking for an Executive Director to lead a food sourcing network that supports food bank partners by building trusted relationships with agricultural donors. This role ensures donated food moves efficiently from growers to food banks. Part operator, part relationship builder, and part systems thinker.

Because Feeding Washington is a lean cooperative, this leader will also be a hands-on individual contributor, directly owning grant writing and reporting, account and data system management, budget preparation, and ongoing budget monitoring.

Success is measured by both outcomes and trust:
  • Grow the donated supply of Northwest-grown food moving through food banks
  • Keep multiple independent partners aligned
  • Strengthen relationships across food banks, agriculture, and Feeding America partners
  • Maintain or improve cost efficiency and system performance
  • Steward a food system that works better because Feeding Washington is part of it
The work requires someone who can move things forward while keeping people together.

What You’ll Do
Operate and Strengthen the System
  • Oversee day-to-day operations of the regional cooperative
  • Build systems that improve efficiency, transparency, and scalability
  • Directly prepare, manage, and monitor budgets; write and manage state grants; maintain account, grant, and reporting systems; and ensure accurate, reliable financial and operational reporting.
  • Maintain clear, current systems for accounts, grants, partner records, reporting deadlines, reimbursements, and other administrative workflows that keep the cooperative operating smoothly.
  • Build connections and relationships with the Washington State Department of Agriculture, other Washington State agencies and legislators that advance hunger relief when appropriate
  • Represent Feeding Washington and the work of its members with relevant industry groups, associations and public partners

Grow Supply and Partnerships
  • Develop and maintain relationships with agricultural producers, distributors, and partners
  • Identify and develop new, practical sourcing approaches that expand the flow of food
  • Represent the cooperative within the Feeding America network and across the broader Northwest hunger-relief landscape

Lead a Small, High-Impact Team
  • Support and develop staff while keeping the work grounded and moving
  • Create clarity, accountability, and a strong team culture

Build and Maintain Alignment
  • Work closely with member food banks to align on priorities and decisions
  • Partner in disaster response and recovery efforts to support food assistance across Washington
  • Navigate competing priorities with fairness, clarity, and sound judgment
  • Lead through trust, credibility, and follow-through

Who This Role Is For
This role is for someone who:
  • Lives in Washington State and is available for regular travel across the region.
  • Is equally comfortable with logistics and building relationships
  • Is willing to stay close to the details, from grant deadlines and account records to budget-to-actual tracking and partner follow-up, while also leading the broader system.
  • Knows how to operate within a shared governance model
  • Is low ego, high ownership, and follows through
  • Moves initiatives forward by thinking ahead and identifying where to remove future friction in the network

You might come from:
  • Food systems, agriculture, or distribution
  • Supply chain or logistics
  • A nonprofit or cooperative environment
  • Or a hybrid of all three

How to Apply
​

Apply through Indeed and include your resume.

Also include a cover letter answering:
  • Why does this role interest you?
  • How has your experience prepared you for this work?
