Director, Global Initiatives

We are seeking a Director of Global Initiatives to join our team, leading the work of ‘me too.’s global network, to support and sustain our work. The Director will build on the work that’s been done to-date, add direction in the global network development and launch, and oversee the strategies that fortify the vision. The Director will have the skill to think at a high-level, and also work granularly on a day-to-day basis.

The Director of Global Initiatives must be someone who checks their ego at the virtual door, and leans-in to relationship-development with charisma and joy.
