About the Role

The Company is seeking a President and Lead Executive Officer (LEO) to guide its historic, values-driven organization. The successful candidate will be a visionary and strategic leader, with a deep commitment to human rights, equity, and justice. This role requires a fearless advocate for the ideals of the organization, particularly in the face of increasing global authoritarianism. The LEO will be responsible for providing overall strategic leadership, fostering strong relationships across the human rights sector, and ensuring the organization's mission and values are upheld. Key areas of focus include fundraising, strategic relationship building, and executive stewardship. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in senior leadership, a collaborative and trust-based approach, and the ability to inspire and engage diverse stakeholders. Candidates for the LEO position at the company should possess strong management and leadership skills, with experience in a complex organizational setting. A proactive approach to fundraising, outstanding communication skills, and significant global human rights knowledge are essential. The role demands a leader with the ability to work effectively across diverse international contexts, including those affected by conflict and political instability. While not mandatory, previous experience in a unionized environment and a background in movement building are highly desirable. The LEO must be resilient, optimistic, and deeply committed to equity and anti-racism, with the ability to lead the organization through demanding work with authenticity and integrity.
