About Tapestry
At Tapestry Community Capital, we’re democratizing how communities invest in their future. As a leading impact investing not-for-profit organization, we support other community organizations through the process of raising community bonds - an innovative financing tool used to fund socially and environmentally beneficial projects.Tapestry’s clients have successfully raised over $130 million in community investment from thousands of retail and institutional investors. Our innovative approach supports community organizations with expert guidance, a custom-built investment platform, and a deep passion for social change. We support organizations by structuring their investment offerings, advising on fundraising, and provide a technology platform for investment administration.
Tapestry has grown quickly with the energy and spirit of a start-up, driven by a bold vision for the future. To sustain this momentum, we are looking for a strategic, business-minded, and innovative leader to join our senior team.
About the Role
The Director of Client Services will provide leadership to our Client Campaigns team, ensuring that Tapestry delivers exceptional, scalable, and sustainable services to a growing base of community bond issuers. This role oversees the Campaigns Team and leads our work in helping issuer clients design and launch campaigns to raise capital through the issuance of community bonds.As part of the senior leadership team, the Director will work closely with the Co-Executive Directors and the Director of Growth & Partnerships to set organizational strategy, track progress against KPIs, and ensure long-term financial sustainability. The Director may also occasionally present to the Board to share updates on client services and organizational performance. They will also partner with Business Development to ensure appropriate issuer client intake, pricing model fit, and time management for the team—making them a critical player in client retention and overall organizational success.
During the first three months, the Director is expected to take part in day-to-day operations and client-facing work to gain a strong understanding of the Campaigns team’s activities and processes. After this onboarding period, the focus will shift toward strategic leadership—guiding the team at a higher level while stepping back from direct involvement in individual campaigns.
This is both a strategic and outward-facing role: the Director will serve as a key representative of Tapestry to issuer clients, building trusted relationships that ensure long-term engagement while driving internal innovations to make our services more efficient and scalable.
