This senior leadership position is focused on translating the company's ambitious vision into practical action, with a strong emphasis on strategic partnership, internal communications, and organizational readiness.
The successful candidate will serve as a trusted partner to the CEO, taking ownership of the conditions that enable the execution of the company's strategy. This includes providing strategic leadership over critical enabling functions, aligning them with externally oriented work, and acting as a bridge to strengthen integration across the organization.

The role also involves executive functioning, governance,

Exceptional communication, cross-cultural competence, and the ability to engage with a diverse range of stakeholders are essential. A background in feminist funding, gender justice, or a related field is valuable, and candidates from adjacent sectors are encouraged to apply, provided they have a robust understanding of power, equity, participation, and feminist values.
