About Lean In & SGBFF

The Sandberg Goldberg Bernthal Family Foundation (SGBFF) works to build a more equal and resilient world. We bring people together through four initiatives: LeanIn.Org, LeanInGirls.Org, OptionB.Org, and the Dave Goldberg Scholarship Program.

Through community, research-based content, and programs, we help women and allies build the skills, confidence, and networks they need to reach their full potential. We believe a more equal world is possible — and that it will take all of us working together to create it.

 

About Lean In Girls

At Lean In Girls, we start early – because confidence gaps start early. By middle school, many girls are already holding back. We’re working to change that with a research-backed program that builds confidence, leadership skills, and community.

We are growing quickly – and we need someone who can help us scale our impact.

 

The Role

This is a builder role.

• You will lead partnerships that enable Lean In Girls to reach more girls, more efficiently. You’ll identify where we can grow, build strong relationships, and turn opportunities into impact.

• You’ll work across schools, youth organizations, NGOs, digital education platforms, sports leagues, and parent communities – always with one clear goal in mind: how do we reach and equip more girls to lead, at scale?

• This is a highly independent role. You’ll need to prioritize well, move quickly, and stay focused on the work that drives the greatest reach and impact.

What You’ll Do

• You will build and grow a high-impact partnership portfolio—identifying the right partners, closing deals, and ensuring those partnerships drive real reach.

• You will look for ways to scale—especially through digital channels—so we can reach millions of girls, not thousands.

• You will help us reach parents and equip them to support their daughters’ leadership.

• You will partner with our product team to build awareness and demand for Lean In Girls.

• You will work closely with our content team to evolve the program based on partner feedback and keep it relevant and fresh.

• You will help shape how Lean In Girls shows up in the broader conversation about girls and leadership.

• And you will execute with discipline—tracking progress, managing the pipeline, and building systems that make our work more effective over time.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of partnership development and relationship management experience

• You have experience building and closing partnerships – and a track record of delivering results.

• You know how to focus on what drives the greatest impact, not just what feels urgent.

• You build trust quickly and sustain relationships over time.

• You look for ways to scale – automating, simplifying, and improving how things work.

• You communicate clearly and confidently with different audiences.

• You are comfortable owning your work and moving forward independently.

• Comfort with using a CRM platform to manage your workflow

• You are equally confident in setting strategy and executing the day-to-day details needed to bring it to life.

• Most importantly, you care deeply about helping girls lead.

Why This Role Matters

• This is an opportunity to take a program that is already working—and help it reach far more girls.

• You will have real ownership and real impact.

• And you will be part of a team working toward a more equal future.

What we can offer

• Base Salary: $140,000 – $175,000 annually, based on experience, skills, and qualifications

• Performance Bonus: Up to 10% of base salary annually

• Benefits: 

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance

  • 401(k) with a 4% employer match

  • Generous paid time off

  • Additional benefits designed to support well-being and long-term success

• Work Location: We believe in the power of in-person collaboration. This role is based in San Francisco, with a hybrid schedule of three days in office per week (currently Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday) and remote flexibility on other days, beginning September 2026.
