Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

The Company seeks a President and Chief Executive Officer to set strategic direction and lead a national nonprofit focused on gender equality and the rights of women and girls. The CEO will partner with the Board to establish priorities, translate strategy into measurable plans, and oversee programs, finances, fundraising, and daily operations. Responsibilities include cultivating funders and partners, serving as a public spokesperson, and guiding litigation, policy advocacy, education, and community initiatives. The CEO will also strengthen governance and organizational performance, lead senior staff, support a collaborative and accountable culture, and ensure the organization can respond effectively to evolving legal and policy challenges. Candidates should demonstrate a strong commitment to gender equality and civil rights, along with substantial leadership experience managing a complex organization and cross-functional teams. A law degree is preferred; candidates without one may be considered if they have significant relevant experience in public policy, advocacy, or a related field. Required strengths include fundraising, financial and operational management, Board partnership, and the ability to navigate sensitive issues and build relationships with diverse stakeholders. Excellent judgment, communication, and spokesperson skills are essential, as is the ability to inspire teams and lead through change.
