About the Role

The Company is seeking a visionary and strategic leader to take on the dual role of CEO and Editor-in-Chief. This is a pivotal moment for the organization, as the successful candidate will be tasked with harnessing its legacy and leading its evolution into a dynamic platform for the next generation of feminist thought, creativity, and community building.
