Programme Manager, Community Learning and Development

At Wedu, we believe that women leaders thrive when they are supported through Capability, Capital, and Community, three interconnected pillars that guide everything we do. Over the past 13 years, we’ve built accessible, customisable, and flexible solutions to empower women leaders across South and Southeast Asia to pursue their dreams and challenge societal norms. Our Capability offerings such as the Introduction to Leadership course and the Women’s Leadership Academy (WLA), equip women with the tools and confidence to lead authentically, access decisional and dream capital, and define leadership on their own terms. Our Capital pillar addresses critical financial gaps through innovative tools like Income Sharing Agreements (ISAs), which enable women to access education and career development on their own terms. Our Community pillar comes alive through the Global Mentorship Programme (GMP) and a lifelong ecosystem of allies and mentors that fosters social capital, personal growth, and professional advancement. Together, these programmes support women in navigating structural barriers and create a powerful ripple effect of change across the region.

In this role, you will be a key driver of Wedu’s Capability and Community Pillars, shaping and delivering leadership development experiences that equip women with the skills, confidence, and networks to lead transformative change. By advancing our strategic priorities of climate resilience, care work, and economic empowerment, you’ll ensure that our programmes and community engagement initiatives are inclusive, evidence-informed, and rooted in the lived realities of women across Asia. Your work will enable a growing cohort of women leaders to take action in their communities, supported by robust mentorship, peer networks, and flexible learning experiences, tailored to their lived realities.

In the short term, you’ll focus on strengthening and integrating climate-resilient, care-responsive, and entrepreneur-focused content across Wedu’s leadership programmes, while activating community platforms for mentorship and peer exchange. You’ll also play a lead role in launching and embedding pilot modules such as those on climate leadership and unpaid care work into our core offerings. In the long term, your work will help Wedu reach at least 1,000 women with tailored leadership pathways, strengthen local ecosystems in six countries, and shift narratives around gendered leadership—positioning Wedu as a regional leader in feminist, community-powered capacity-building.
