Are you a visionary leader passionate about making a difference in the world? Do you have the entrepreneurial spirit to drive transformative change in adult education and poverty alleviation across the globe? If so, we want you to lead our mission as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Project Yananai!
Who We Are:
At Project Yananai, as a Christian organisation, we believe that education is a powerful catalyst for change. We are committed to breaking the cycle of poverty worldwide through innovative educational initiatives and community empowerment programs. With a diverse team representing various cultures and expertise, we are dedicated to fostering sustainable development and creating lasting impact in the communities we serve.
The Opportunity:
As our CEO, you will be at the forefront of our mission, guiding our organization towards new heights of influence and effectiveness. You’ll work closely with the Board of Trustees, Executive Leadership Team, volunteers and global partners to shape our strategy, drive fundraising efforts, and expand our programmatic reach. This is a unique chance to leverage your skills and experience to create scalable solutions that change lives.
Key Responsibilities:
- Strategic Leadership: Develop and implement a compelling vision and strategy to advance our mission and enhance our global presence.
