Executive Director/CEO

One World One Family Foundation

Global Headquarters – United States

Job Title: Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

Department: Executive Leadership

Reports to: Board of Directors

ROLE SUMMARY

One World One Family (OWOF) seeks an inspiring and entrepreneurial Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to lead its next stage of global expansion. The CEO will build OWOF into a globally recognized, U.S.-headquartered nonprofit brand while driving a world-class fundraising program to strengthen and sustain our mission.

The CEO’s primary mandate is to:

1. Lead Major Fundraising Efforts at Scale - Engage high-net-worth individuals, donor-advised funds, foundations, corporations, family offices, and global philanthropic networks to secure transformational support.
2. Build Global Awareness and Elevate the Brand - Position OWOF as a respected humanitarian organization in the U.S. and internationally—leveraging storytelling, media, partnerships, and thought leadership platforms.
3. Strengthen and Support the Global Chapter Ecosystem (Strategic, Not Operational) - OWOF already operates in 100+ countries through an established global network. The CEO will provide alignment, tools, messaging, and inspiration—while not necessarily managing service projects or field programs.

This is a role for a leader who is equally comfortable operating with startup agility and global organizational presence. Someone with grit and entrepreneurial drive, but who can also represent a worldwide movement with professionalism, credibility, and heart.
