Leveling the Playing Field Begins Search for Next Executive Director

Leveling the Playing Field Executive Director Search

February 23rd, 2026

Leveling the Playing Field (LPF) seeks its next Executive Director, succeeding founder Max Levitt, who stepped down from his role last summer. LPF is at an exciting inflection point, moving from a founder-led growth phase to an established national organization. 

The Executive Director will provide strategic leadership, oversee a $3.1M budget and 20+ staff, drive revenue strategy and fundraising, and serve as a trusted spokesperson for LPF’s mission of expanding access and equity by redistributing athletic equipment to under-resourced communities. Candidates should bring significant senior leadership experience, strong fundraising and financial management skills, and a passion for sports-based youth development.

LPF is conducting this search in partnership with Good Insight. For more details and to apply, visit www.good-insight.org/careers. 

Best consideration will be given to applications received by mid-March 2026.
