This position reports to the Chief Executive Officer

January 11, 2027

At Step Up, we believe girls deserve to define and pursue success on their terms. By bringing girls together in inspired spaces – on and offline – we spark exploration and discussion of what’s possible. With structured support and access to a strong community, we guide girls towards their unique goals: first, by identifying those goals and then, building the roadmap to get there.

Step Up participants are high school girls and those who identify with girlhood and young women and those who identify with womanhood (ages 14-29), who are facing systemic barriers.

Step Up is entering the first chapter of our 2027–2030 strategic plan:
Step Up at 30. A Mentor for Every Girl, Everywhere
. To support this plan, we are seeking a visionary and results-driven Chief Revenue Officer to lead our resource innovation initiatives. This C-suite executive will serve as the architect of our future financial growth, responsible for designing and executing a comprehensive revenue strategy to scale our annual budget from $4 million to $6 million by 2030.

The ideal candidate is an entrepreneurial leader with a proven track record of diversifying funding models. While maintaining and optimizing our current fundraising successes, the CRO will spearhead the development of new revenue streams, expand our existing revenue streams, build a robust planned giving program and aggressively pursue local and state public funding.

At Step Up, we intentionally cultivate a culture of authenticity, excellence and inclusion. We are a remote-first team working across our anchor cities, and we stay closely connected through cameras-on collaboration, shared learning and a weekly team bulletin that celebrates our wins.
