Women Moving Millions (WMM) is a dynamic, impact-led community on a mission to catalyze resources to power the movement for gender equality. Their 400-strong membership has collectively committed over $1B to improve the lives of women and girls. Through collaborative leadership (resources, social capital, and expertise), WMM seeks to drive greater impact and accelerate progress. By transforming how members give and invest, they remove barriers for leaders and innovators, inspiring bolder investments from a diverse ecosystem of funding partners.

To accomplish this vision, WMM seeks to strengthen the funding ecosystem of the movement and serve as a bridge to the intersecting movements working towards gender equality. Through the curation of a dynamic community of women philanthropists, they are able to tap into and leverage members’ collective influence and power (resources, social capital, and expertise) and drive greater capital to accelerate progress. WMM takes a ‘big tent’ approach to its membership, including women at all stages of their philanthropic journeys, creating spaces for members to be vulnerable, build trust, and hold one another accountable as they learn, grow, and act.

Amid this critical mission and environment of extraordinary investment and expansion, WMM seeks candidates for Chief Philanthropy Officer (CPO). The CPO provides comprehensive and strategic leadership of WMM philanthropic engagement and revenue growth initiatives. The primary responsibility of this leader is to drive strategies for the ongoing growth of a diverse community of philanthropic support and deep, long-term relationships based on the common goal of gender equality. Reporting directly to the CEO, the CPO works closely with senior executive and Board leadership to establish and advance philanthropic engagement goals and secure the revenue necessary to sustain WMM’s overall efforts for gender equality. The CPO will manage an evolving team that currently includes the Director of Community Engagement and Member Engagement Associate and is projected to expand commensurate with organizational growth and in consultation with the CEO. The CPO will lead efforts to fund implementation of WMM’s strategic priorities by growing sources of recurring revenue (member dues and contributions, foundation and corporate support) to ensure long-term sustainability and simultaneously raising supplementary growth capital through major gifts to WMM from members and foundations.

This is a unique opportunity to play a significant role in advancing gender equality for a philanthropy leader who possesses a background of developing and executing creative, effective fundraising strategies and events as well as a sophisticated understanding of influencing and stewarding high-net-worth donors, family offices, foundations, and institutional philanthropy. The CPO will model proactivity and strategic, data-informed decision making as well as a professional pace and agility that mirrors that of WMM overall.

Leadership Political participation
WHO ARE WE?
✨Politics4Her is a youth-led blog and movement advocating for more inclusive participation of young women and girls in politics and leadership. Politics4Her has grown to over 50 members with a focus on the Global South, and with an effort of being more inclusive of language and diversity, we now have additional hubs: the Global hub (English), the Africa hub (English), the Europe hub (English/French/Italian), and the Asia hub (English).
With a large community of thousands of followers, subscribers, and partners, our main goals are to break stereotypes, grow more informed, and encourage the active participation of young women and girls in civil society. Out of a powerful sense that oppression, discrimination, and social constraints are characteristics of women’s experience, especially, in disproportionate societies that are still in the process of advancing gender equality, Politics4her, therefore, aims at uniting women into an organized political environment as an expression of their potential and distinct contribution to their communities.
Politics4Her is excitedly inviting all young people out there to dispel their hesitation, overcome their imposter syndrome, and join us in smashing the patriarchy by filling in the form for a world in which young people, and in particular young women are practically involved in the manifold aspects of their communities.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

- Be between 22-35 years old.
- Passionate about social media and designing websites
- Identify as an intersectional feminist.
- Attach a complete application including a resume and cover letter. Applications that do not include any of the two will be annulled.
