International Board Chair

The Company is seeking an International Board Chair to provide strategic and governance leadership, acting as a unifying presence across its global education movement. The successful candidate will work closely with the Executive Director, International Board, and International Council to ensure effective governance, strategic oversight, and a clear distinction between governance and executive leadership. This highly relational role requires the ability to build strong relationships across diverse cultures and backgrounds, and to be a compelling ambassador for the organization, strengthening its profile with various stakeholders. The Chair will also champion philanthropy and fundraising, helping to develop significant relationships and enhance the long-term financial sustainability of the movement. Applicants for the International Board Chair position at the company should be exceptional international leaders with a deep alignment to the organization's mission and values. The role demands a leader with a sophisticated understanding of governance, strong strategic capability, and substantial experience working across different countries and cultures. Experience in a complex, federated, or decentralized organization is particularly valuable. The ideal candidate will be a humble, low-ego, and inclusive leader, with a proven track record as an exceptional listener and relationship-builder. Emotional intelligence, cultural fluency, and the ability to lead with authority while being a champion for the belief that education can foster a more peaceful, sustainable, and inclusive future are essential.
