📋 Job Requirements

• Bring significant, verifiable experience as a strategic partner at CEO or executive-team level. • Show a proven record of driving complex, cross-functional priorities from idea to execution. • Use exceptional judgement and discretion when handling confidential information and executive dynamics. • Influence without formal authority and build trust at the most senior levels. • Communicate clearly in writing and speech, distilling complex information into decision-ready briefs. • Apply strong analytical and strategic problem-solving skills to frame questions and recommend practical paths forward. • Have direct experience supporting Board governance, fundraising or other high-stakes external relationships. • Work across time zones, occasionally outside standard hours, and travel for Board meetings and major events.

🎯 Responsibilities

• Serve as the CEO's thought partner in developing, pressure-testing and refining strategic priorities. • Direct the CEO's time towards strategy, external relationships, Board leadership and the highest-consequence decisions. • Filter issues so that significant shifts, material risks and Board-level matters reach the CEO early with context, options and a recommendation. • Enable the Executive Leadership Team to operate as one team around the CEO's priorities and follow through on decisions. • Represent the CEO's position in internal discussions and make decisions within delegated authority. • Prepare the CEO for Board meetings, funder and partner conversations, speeches and public engagements with concise briefings. • Ensure external commitments made by the CEO translate into clear internal follow-through. • Keep the Investment Committee's advisors focused on the right questions and aligned with the Foundation's strategy.
