The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) will lead GHC into its next chapter, building on a strong foundation to drive strategic growth, organizational sustainability, and scaled impact. This visionary leader will step into a mature, globally recognized leadership development institution in global health. In close partnership with the Board and Senior Leadership Team, the CEO will refine and execute GHC’s strategy and business model – positioning the organization as a leading voice and platform for leadership development.
GHC operates as a lean global organization of ~25 full-time staff, working across multiple countries and time zones in the U.S. and East and Southern Africa, in a hybrid, largely remote environment. The CEO will regularly engage with fellows, alumni, partners and donors as a core part of GHC’s leadership model and must be energized by direct interaction with these communities.
Through disciplined leadership and strategic stakeholder engagement, the CEO will be responsible for ensuring operational excellence, financial and organizational sustainability, mission and market fit, strengthening GHC’s programmatic and earned-income model, and mobilizing the resources, partnerships, and talent required to deliver measurable impact. They will also be a visionary strategist capable of positioning the organization as a leadership development catalyst within the broader health development ecosystem.
