Center for Science in the Public Interest

About the Center for Science in the Public Interest
The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) is a non-profit health-advocacy group based in Washington, D.C., that focuses on protecting the public from diet-related health problems. CSPI publishes Nutrition Action Healthletter , one of the nation’s largest‑circulation health newsletters, and has led efforts that resulted in healthier diets, more nutritious school foods, safer foods, and more honest food labeling.
Founded in 1971, CSPI’s landmark accomplishments include spearheading national campaigns to reduce sugar and sodium in the food supply, to eliminate artificial trans fat and stop companies from using olestra, and to require the Nutrition Facts label on almost every container of packaged food. CSPI has educated the public and works to ensure that science and data are not ignored in public policy debates, that the food industry does not mislead consumers or put their health at risk, and that the government fulfills its duty to protect the health of all Americans, including the most vulnerable. With science and science-based policy under assault in Washington, the need for an independent and science-based watchdog has never been greater.
CSPI seeks to improve health by educating the public through its newsletter, lobbying Congress and the federal executive branch, working with state and local advocates, organizing public health and consumer groups into effective coalitions, policing the marketplace by bringing selected lawsuits against companies, and engaging with industry when appropriate.
The Opportunity
CSPI is seeking a Chief Operating Officer (COO) to lead and oversee the organization’s business operations, which includes 14 employees working in the following areas:

We are seeking a leader to evolve our organization to address future needs by wielding a powerful vision and executing it with grace.
CSPI is a non-profit 501(c)(3), science-based consumer advocacy group with about 45 staff who are deeply invested in CSPI’s mission.

Help expand and strengthen CSPI’s pipeline of donors (low-dollar, mid-level, and major donors) and network of foundation relationships to further drive impactful and effective organizational funding growth.
Build and strengthen the community of supporters for CSPI’s work and develop platforms that enhance collaboration and identification with CSPI’s brand and offerings.
Working with the Business Operations Director and Information Systems Director, oversee CSPI’s technology infrastructure (network, computers, information systems) to ensure that resources provided meet the organization’s needs.
In collaboration with marketing, fundraising, and communications staff, help create and coordinate compelling cross-platform communications (e-communications, direct email marketing messages, online experiences and other content, including an annual report).

A forward-looking strategist with the ability to assess, analyze and advise the President on important financial and operational issues that could impact pursuit of CSPI’s strategic goals.
Thorough substantive knowledge and understanding of financial management and accounting oversight, especially for nonprofit entities, including sophisticated fund and grant accounting, internal control systems, and regulatory compliance and reporting issues.
