Job Description

Imperative Recruiting is 3rd party agency, working on behalf of BIA:

Black Innovation Alliance (BIA) is a national coalition of 175 innovator support organizations (ISOs) across 50+ cities that work with nearly 300K business owners, startup founders, and creative technologists to grow and accelerate their ventures. By centralizing coordination between ISOs and those looking to support Black innovators, we are able to increase ecosystem efficiency while reducing fragmentation. The result is a more collaborative and high-performing ecosystem and more successful Black entrepreneurs, makers, and creatives.

BIA is an ecosystem-building institution dedicated to closing the racial wealth gap through the direct support of Black-led innovator support organizations in service to Black entrepreneurs, tech founders, and creative technologists.

In its first 10 years, the Black Innovation Alliance will recruit at least 500 organizations to support, fund, and sustain one million Black innovators.

BIA Organizational Structure

Black Innovation Alliance (BIA) operates in a fast-paced, high-growth environment that is very similar to the start-up environment, despite being a non-profit organization. The vision and the mission set forth by its founders have been validated during the past two years by funders that include eBay Foundation, Kauffman Foundation, Surdna Foundation, UBS, Google, and a host of other Grantmakers who see this work as vital to closing the racial equity wealth gap through entrepreneurship. It is important to make this distinction because the processes and resources that are needed at this stage of growth must align with this reality. .

We are a learning organization. The ecosystem-building field is still emerging and so ours is an organization that actively creates, acquires, and transfers knowledge within itself and works hard to modify its behavior to reflect new knowledge.

We seek dedicated self-starters that excel at their craft and can roll up their sleeves and work collaboratively to deliver on all initiatives, projects, and programs in a timely manner.
