Job Details for Director of Operations - Federal Defender Leadership Center

Court Name/Organization North Carolina Western Federal Public Defender
Overview of the Position As Director of Operations, you will be the organizational backbone of the Leadership Center — the person who makes sure that a mission-driven, fast-moving, virtual team can operate with clarity, consistency, and purpose. You will manage administrative staff and operations, oversee the development of policies and procedures, and play a key role in supporting the high-visibility training events and programs that sit at the heart of what we do. This is not a role for someone who needs everything defined before they begin. The ideal candidate brings structure to ambiguity — someone who can look at a growing organization and build the operational infrastructure it needs to scale, without losing the agility and creativity that makes a start-up culture worth being part of.
Location Remote, Anywhere in the U.S.
Opening and Closing Dates 03/30/2026 - Open Until Filled
Appointment Type Permanent
Salary $124,177 - $163,514
