Chief Executive Officer
£75,000 - £80,000
Hybrid - London-based
Full-time role, open to flexible working and job-shares
Fawcett is superbly placed to be the organisation women can look to, to fearlessly champion their rights. We have upheld many campaign successes, including the first ever complaint of sexism by The Independent Press Standards Organisation, helping put menopause on the political agenda which resulted in new guidance for employers and establishing a new law on sexual harassment through the Workers Protection Act.
We have a highly influential and engaged board, a great staff team, and a committed membership. We are excited to be launching a newly refreshed strategy and brand in the coming months.
We are now seeking to appoint a new Chief Executive who will bring:
* Demonstrable organisational leadership and management experience with the ability to oversee our finance, governance, and HR functions.
* Experience acquiring, building, and maintaining strong relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders and funders to drive influence, income, and impact.
* Able to work effectively with, and network across, the main political parties and at every level of government and politics, leading on political engagement and relationships.
* Able to be a passionate advocate for feminism, gender equality, and related social policy issues.
* Able to work with a highly influential board to deliver impactful outcomes.
