Chief Executive Officer
We are seeking a strategic, hands-on CEO to lead a purpose-driven foundation that operates with a business-like mindset and long-term vision. While rooted in social impact, this organization is not run like a traditional NGO. We are looking for a leader with a strong corporate background, sharp financial instincts, and the ability to manage complex operations with precision and foresight. You can be based anywhere in Europe with required travel.
This is not a role for someone who leads from a distance — we are looking for someone ready to get involved at every level, from high-level strategy to on-the-ground execution, with a deep commitment to understanding the full context and ripple effects of each project.
This is a unique opportunity to shape and grow a foundation that reinvests every euro to multiply its impact — with no commercial gain, but with measurable, lasting results for the communities it serves.
Oversee project planning, execution, and monitoring in collaboration with the local team and other stakeholders.
