 The Girls First Fund (GFF) was created in 2018 by a group of philanthropic partners who believed that community-based organizations are the key drivers of change to end child, early, and forced marriage or unions. As a global collaborative fund, GFF channels flexible, multi-year funding and tailored support to mainly girl- and women-led organizations advancing locally rooted, gender-transformative solutions. 

 The Role

Reporting to the Advisory Committee, Girls First Fund seeks their next Director to steward the organization, its strategy, its partnerships, and its role championing community-led efforts so that all girls can live free from child marriage and create their own future. The Director will be responsible for leading GFF’s work increasing the financial resources channeled to community-based organizations to prevent and respond to child marriage, and amplifying the voices of these vital organizations. The Director will lead and collaborate with a team of 20, many of whom have been with the organization since it’s founding. The Director is ultimately responsible for the strategic, grantmaking, and financial operations of the organization.
