CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

TransForm

Oakland, CA

TransForm, a leading environmental and social equity nonprofit, is seeking an experienced professional to join our executive team in the position of Chief Operating Officer.

ABOUT TRANSFORM     

TransForm works to create world-class public transportation and walkable communities in the Bay Area and beyond. We build diverse coalitions, influence policy, and develop innovative programs to improve the lives of all people and protect the environment.  We can only achieve this mission by working with people from a broad range of backgrounds and perspectives.

TransForm and our partners have helped win billions of dollars and groundbreaking policies to support public transportation, smart growth, affordable homes, and bicycle and pedestrian safety in the Bay Area. We have also launched a series of innovative programs that help create more people-friendly places by increasing the number of children walking and biking safely to school and engaging people in planning for great communities. TransForm’s Bay Area work is often used as a model for change at the state and national level. Over the past four years we have also expanded our state-level work to increase funding for public transportation funding and ensure that California’s laws to combat climate change also create more walkable communities, promote affordable homes and save open space.

TransForm works to maximize social justice and environmental benefits, as well as economic sustainability, efficiency and fairness. We seek to benefit everyone, and we prioritize benefits for disadvantaged communities – low-income families, people of color, people with disabilities, youth and seniors. These groups, more than others, depend on transportation choices to access the jobs, schools, homes and services they need to build a better life. Transportation and land use are inherently social justice issues. We believe society as a whole benefits when more people can achieve their potential.

TransForm is an entrepreneurial organization with a collaborative and inclusive culture. We have 32 staff and coordinate significant collaborations that bring together a diverse range of partners committed to a common cause.   Our main office is in downtown Oakland; we also have two satellite offices, in Sacramento and San Jose.
