Choose Love is at the forefront of driving impactful change for refugees and displaced communities worldwide. We now seek a new Chair to help shape Choose Love’s future direction, support its continued growth and impact, and contribute to its ambition to become one of the world’s most innovative, trusted and influential humanitarian organisations for displaced communities.
Choose Love combines entrepreneurial thinking, humanitarian urgency and public advocacy with strong governance and accountability. This is an opportunity to chair the Board of an ambitious, high-profile humanitarian organisation at an inflection point in its journey. Following significant philanthropic investment and the development of a new five-year strategy, the incoming Chair will need to understand the opportunities and challenges of leading an organisation that works in complex, high-risk environments while maintaining independence and the ability to speak out on
issues affecting displaced communities.
Who you are
You’ll bring deep understanding of charity governance, preferably with experience of chairing a complex not-for-profit organisation. With strong leadership and facilitation skills, you bring tact, diplomacy, and the ability to bring people together and support an effective and accountable Board.
We’re seeking excellent interpersonal and relationship-building skills and the ability to operate effectively in an ambassadorial role. Some familiarity with, and broad understanding of, the requirements and dynamics of social media communications, will be an advantage.
Credibility and senior leadership experience appropriate to chairing a high-profile humanitarian organisation will be important, together with a strong and visible commitment to Choose Love, and an informed passion for the rights and needs of displaced people.
If you share our vision of a world that chooses love and justice for everyone — where displaced communities can thrive — we would love to hear from you!
Time commitment
The expected time commitment is approximately two to three days per month. Candidates must have the capacity to commit sufficient time to fulfil the responsibilities of the role, including attendance at meetings and key events and flexible, fluent interaction with the CEO.
Additional time may be required during periods of organisational development, crisis response, or strategic change. Good administrative and staff support will be available to the Chair and to the Board.
