Community Impact Specialist

Cboe Global Markets is seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Community Impact Specialist to support and help drive our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Reporting to the Director, Community Affairs, this role plays a vital part in expanding and executing Cboe’s CSR programming—including community partnerships, outreach, and employee engagement efforts.

This position requires a self-starter who is able to work independently approximately 65% of the time, taking ownership of specific tasks and contributing to project execution. While the Specialist will use their judgment to manage portions of projects, they will also have the opportunity to collaborate with the Director to ensure alignment and support as needed throughout the process.

The ideal candidate is proactive, solutions-oriented, and eager to contribute to meaningful social impact efforts that align with Cboe’s values.

Key Responsibility Areas

• Provide logistical and execution support for CSR programs such as Cboe Empowers, including scheduling, managing timelines, and tracking, reviewing, and analyzing key engagement metrics.
• Independently coordinate communication and outreach to program participants, community partners, and internal stakeholders to ensure alignment and follow-through.
• Own and manage distinct elements of community-focused events and volunteer opportunities, from annual planning, milestones, and thorough execution, ensuring smooth logistics and strong engagement throughout the year.
• Support the cultivation of strategic partnerships with external organizations and community leaders to advance CSR goals, working closely with senior management to align efforts with organizational values.
• Investigate, make recommendations, and resolve concerns that arise with service delivery and strategic partnerships.
• Collaborate with internal teams, such as Communications, by providing insights, data analysis, and strategic input to inform storytelling and messaging that authentically reflect our CSR work and impact.
• Use independently gathered data and insights to inform strategic decision-making, ensuring continuous improvement and the measurable success of CSR initiatives.
• Provide administrative and strategic support for CSR efforts, including data entry, reporting on key metrics, maintaining organized documentation, and analyzing data to provide insights that inform the direction and impact of future initiatives.

Ideal Candidate Qualifications

• A Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (e.g., Communications, Business, Public Administration, Nonprofit Management, or related discipline)
• 2–3 years of professional experience in corporate social responsibility, nonprofit organizations, community engagement, or a related field (volunteer experience is valued but must be supplemented with professional experience)
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and take initiative on project components from planning through execution
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage stakeholders at various levels
• Excellent organizational and administrative skills, including attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously
• Experience coordinating events, working with community organizations, or managing outreach efforts
• Familiarity with nonprofit management, sponsorships, or partnership development is a plus
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and ability to quickly learn new systems

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to deepen their experience in CSR while taking on meaningful, independently driven work. The Community Impact Specialist will play a key role in driving impact, supporting critical partnerships, and helping ensure Cboe’s values show up authentically in the communities we serve.
