Job Title: Chief Executive Officer

Location: Anywhere in Europe

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.

The ideal candidate will be dynamic and intellectually curious, able to balance empathy with pragmatism. They will care deeply about making a lasting difference, while also applying sound judgment to ensure every initiative is viable and sustainable. 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.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide leadership to ensure all activities align with the foundation’s mission and values.
• Under the Board’s guidance, identify and pursue new growth and sustainability opportunities.
• Foster a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement.
• Oversee project planning, execution, and monitoring in collaboration with the local team and other stakeholders.
• Conduct regular visits to remote project locations to assess ongoing and potential initiatives.
• Manage resources to ensure operational efficiency and achievement of objectives.
• Ensure all projects are financially viable and sustainable.
• Prepare regular reports on project status, staff, and resources.
• Ensure compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.
• Ensure sound financial management, including budgeting, planning, and reporting.
• Maintain integrity and compliance in all financial operations.
• Develop and maintain relationships with donors, partners, and stakeholders.
• Implement fundraising strategies as directed by the Board.
• Represent the foundation to governments, international organizations, and the media.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with local communities, incorporating their needs into program design and delivery.
• Work closely with the Founder, Board, and staff to ensure cohesive operations.

Candidate Profile

• University degree in Business Administration, Finance, or related field.
• Knowledge of Agronomy is an advantage.
• Extensive leadership experience in the private sector with proven work in Africa.
• Strong track record managing complex projects and multidisciplinary teams.
• Strategic leadership and critical thinking.
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, and negotiation skills.
• Experience in operational and financial management.
• Cultural sensitivity and understanding of Africa’s socio-political context.
• Fluent in English; proficiency in French is a significant plus.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office.
• Hands-on, proactive, and able to motivate others.
• Integrity, transparency, and accountability.
• Resilient and adaptable to challenging environments.
• Strong attention to detail and follow-through.
• Deep commitment to the foundation’s mission and values.
• Candidates must have the legal right to work in the European Union

Compensation and Benefits

• Flexible remote work with required travel.
• All work-related travel expenses covered.
• 25 paid vacation days per year.

This is a unique opportunity to lead an innovative foundation making a sustainable impact in vulnerable communities. We seek a leader ready to drive excellence with passion and rigor.
