Following the return of our co-founder Becca Dean MBE as CEO, we're excited to be recruiting for several new roles as we move into the next chapter of our journey. Having recently celebrated our 12th birthday, we're more determined than ever to reach even more girls and young women, and we’re building a brilliant team to help us do just that. If you're passionate about empowering the next generation, we’d love to hear from you.

THE ROLE

The Deputy CEO will play a pivotal leadership role, working closely with the CEO to drive the organisation’s strategic vision, operational excellence, programme leadership, and financial sustainability. As a key leader, you will oversee critical functions, ensure high-impact programme delivery, and strengthen partnerships that expand our reach and influence. You will also act as a key external representative of The Girls’ Network, advocating for our mission and developing relationships with funders, partners, and stakeholders. Additionally, you will deputise for the CEO as required, ensuring continuity of leadership and decision-making in their absence.

  • Represent The Girls’ Network externally, speaking at events and strengthening strategic partnerships.
  • Stay up-to-date on national and regional policy developments affecting girls, mentoring, and education.
  • Embed a girl-centred approach to organisational development and ensure programme impact is maximised through innovation and the use of technology.
  • Report to the CEO and Board on programmes and safeguarding.

Programme Leadership & Delivery

  • Provide strategic leadership for programmes, ensuring stability and growth in existing regions and identifying opportunities for expansion.
  • Lead on innovation, piloting new programme elements, systems, and processes to enhance efficiency, impact, and revenue generation.
  • Ensure programme decisions are informed by data, research, and organisational learning.
  • Oversee quality assurance and impact measurement, ensuring consistency across regions and effective reporting on mentee outcomes.
  • Oversee programme pipeline, targets, and income generation from schools, reporting to the Board.
  • Maximise relationships with key stakeholder groups (mentees, schools, partners, ambassadors, and mentors) to enhance engagement, experience, and retention.
  • Lead, support, and motivate the Programme Delivery Directorate, aligning OKRs with organisational goals.

Programme Delivery & Reporting

  • Stay informed about best practices in mentoring, gender equality, and social mobility to ensure maximum programme impact.
  • Use data and feedback to continuously develop and refine programmes.
  • Ensure robust processes and procedures are in place to optimise resources and impact.
  • Oversee the mentor network, ensuring engagement, retention, and a high-quality experience for both mentors and mentees.
  • Support the Ambassador Programme Lead in integrating the Ambassador Programme with the mentoring programme.
  • Report quarterly to the CEO on programme KPIs, including participant numbers, impact metrics, stakeholder perceptions, and regional variations.
  • Prepare quarterly reports for the CEO and Trustees.

Management & Training
