They will act as a powerful voice for SRHR, ensuring IPPF remains a leading force in the global movement for sexual and reproductive rights. With a deep understanding of international development, governance and the shifting political landscape, they will navigate complex challenges while uniting and inspiring our diverse membership and community.  

The successful candidate will be a bold and strategic experienced leader with extensive experience leading large values-driven international organisations with a strong understanding of federated structures and governance. A skilled advocate and coalition-builder, they will influence public policy, forge high-level partnerships and drive impact. Their expertise in resource mobilisation will ensure financial sustainability and growth, while strong financial and strategic acumen will enable effective management of complex budgets. Exceptional relationship-building skills will allow them to navigate diverse cultural, political, and crisis environments with diplomacy and integrity. With deep sector knowledge in global health, development, humanitarian response, and human rights, they will be committed to grassroots, member-led 

approaches and driving transformative change. Above all, they will be deeply committed to the fight for sexual and reproductive rights, bringing authenticity, bravery and a relentless drive for progress.
