Launched in 2018 by global human rights activist Mabel van Oranje and Ford Foundation President Darren Walker, VOW's model is distinct: we are an innovative fundraising organization dedicated to ending child marriage and empowering girls across the world.
The CEO role provides a pivotal opportunity for a visionary leader. Building on our success to date, VOW is entering an ambitious phase of innovation and growth. While our initial focus leveraged the power of weddings and celebrations, we are now refining and scaling our strategy to prioritize increasing income from engaged couples and the general public, while also exploring new, high-potential models to mobilise new resources for girls.
THE ROLE
The CEO role with VOW presents an exciting opportunity for a dynamic, passionate, and strategic leader with an entrepreneurial spirit to steer this unique organization. VOW isn't a traditional NGO. We're a small startup focused on mobilizing resources and are ready to build on our initial proof-of-concept. The right candidate will help us scale what's working and explore new models to exponentially increase our impact on girls' lives.
This is a role for a visionary builder who sees the immense potential in unlocking millions more for girls and is eager to be at the helm of this next chapter of innovation and growth. In partnership with the Board, the CEO will develop, sharpen, and execute a strategic plan focused on refining and scaling our direct-to-consumer fundraising, particularly from engaged couples, and exploring new market-based models. This will convert mass-market interest into measurable, sustainable funding that helps to end child marriage and unleash the potential of girls.
Education
- A Bachelor's degree or equivalent is welcome, but not required. We are most interested in your proven skills and a track record of entrepreneurial success.
- We are seeking an entrepreneurial leader with a true startup mentality who is energized by the opportunity to spearhead VOW’s next chapter. The ideal candidate is a "visionary doer" who thrives in ambiguity, is adept at both scaling proven strategies and exploring new, untested ideas, and is comfortable rolling up their sleeves to lead a small organization through a pivotal period of growth.
- A startup mentality – someone who dreams big, tests rapidly (in days and weeks, not months), and brings winning concepts to life, even when navigating the unknown.
- Proven success leading a small organization (<25 people) through a period of significant growth, innovation, and strategic evolution, with a track record of scaling impact and revenue.
- Proven experience and success in developing and scaling innovative mass-marketing campaigns, leveraging technology to reach diverse audiences, and building impactful brand and PR partnerships.
- Strong fundraising acumen, with demonstrated success in securing significant contributions from diverse audiences.
