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. Key responsibilities include setting a clear and creative vision, overseeing editorial direction across various platforms, and expanding the organization's reach and visibility. The role also involves serving as the chief fundraiser, cultivating relationships with donors and foundations, and leading a talented team to ensure the organization's mission is advanced with excellence and integrity.

The ideal candidate will be deeply inspired by the feminist and mission-driven focus of the organization, with a strong background in fundraising, editorial or literary acumen, and a strategic, outward-facing approach. They should be a compelling communicator, a thought leader, and a champion of the cultural and communal currents shaping the relevant fields. The role requires a leader who is a strategic operator, comfortable with both big-picture dreaming and the day-to-day operations of a small nonprofit. An intergenerational connector and mentor, the candidate should be attuned to the media habits of younger generations and excited to foster connections across diverse communities. While no candidate is expected to have every qualification, a combination of these experiences and qualities will make for a strong fit.
