About FAIR SHARE
FAIR SHARE of Women Leaders aims to spark and sustain a feminist transformation of the international social impact sector. We do this by monitoring the proportion of women in the top leadership of civil society organisations and creating spaces for individuals and organisations to explore Feminist Leadership as a tool to transform their leadership styles and organisation cultures.

Scope of work
Given the small size of our team, the Co-Executive Director position is a hands-on role, including operational and project responsibilities. The two Co-Executive Directors are accountable to the FAIR SHARE Advisory Council and share the following overarching responsibilities:

Strategy and Impact 
  • Steer the implementation of FAIR SHARE’s strategic framework to ensure the realisation and continuous development of organisational objectives
  • Maintain a bird’s-eye view of FAIR SHARE’s different programmatic areas and ensure alignment with overall organisational objectives

Finances and Fundraising
  • Monitor and review organisational finances as well as financial risks and opportunities, together with the internal financial lead and the treasurer of the Advisory Council
  • Create and implement strategies for fundraising efforts to raise core as well as project-specific funding

Organisational Development 
  • Further develop and strengthen internal organisational processes at FAIR SHARE, including mechanisms such as internal communications, team policies and processes or collective learning
  • Co-shape, prepare and facilitate such as bi-annual team days, quarterly reflections, fundraising sprints, etc, together with the team and our external organisational development consultant

People and Culture
  • Work with the FAIR SHARE team to create a healthy and collaborative team environment
  • Provide leadership and guidance to team members in project management, work planning and prioritisation, as well as conflict management when needed.

Feminist Governance
  • Work with FAIR SHARE’s Advisory Council towards the realisation of the organisation’s strategy and vision
  • Provide strategic and financial reports to Advisory Council
  • Participate in the Advisory Council’s periodic sessions (4-6 times/year) for collective learning, decision-making and strategising towards the implementation of a feminist governance model at FAIR SHARE

We envision co-leadership as a space that is co-shaped from the very beginning, ensuring space for the incoming person to co-design the roles together. Therefore, the specific distribution of responsibilities and tasks will be elaborated by the two Co-Executive Directors at the beginning of their shared term, based on experiences, skills, interests and organisational needs.


Essential skills & experiences
Professional experience 
  • Strong track record of practicing intersectional feminism and experience of engagement in feminist/gender equity work as well as feminist leadership
  • Strong commitment to lead with an anti-racist lens and a willingness to continuously grow in the area of anti-discrimination and awareness practise
  • Comprehensive understanding of and some experience working in a leadership position in the international social impact sector
  • Experience of building, cultivating and maintaining relationships with institutional and/or individual donors
