About Every Woman
Every Woman (EW) is a coalition of women’s rights activists across 165 countries working to end violence against all women and girls by advancing international law. We unite grassroots advocacy and global diplomacy to strengthen global norms and standards and hold governments to their commitments, creating a safer, more just world for all.

The Opportunity 
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Every Woman combines senior-most leadership, strategy, and public storytelling with entrepreneurial grit to bring the vision and mission to life of delivering real-world transformation for women's and girls’ safety worldwide.

For Every Woman, feminist values alignment is not an added benefit – it is essential to the success of the next CEO. This leader must not only advance the mission externally, but also embody the principles that sustain trust, credibility, and collective power across a global coalition. The next CEO must lead in a way that shares power responsibly, centers equity, values transparency, strengthens well-being, and turns collective insight into action. In a movement-based organization working across cultures, geographies, and power dynamics, how the CEO leads is as important as what the CEO delivers.

The role has four (4) direct reports overseeing a team of ten individuals.

External 65% | Internal 35%

  • Relationship based fundraising 40% (external)
  • Strategy, new initiatives, subject matter expert 25% (internal)
  • Public voice and storyteller 20% (external)
  • Community Builder 15% (10% internal + 5% external)
Strong candidates will offer:  

  • Academic Preparation: Every Woman supports substituting lived leadership experience for academic attainment.  A bachelor’s degree is a minimum, a master’s degree is desired/preferred, and any relevant lived experience/work experience that is relevant is meaningful.

  • Campaign Leadership: 7–10 or more years of leadership experience in women’s international human rights campaigns.
