We’re gearing up for our official launch this September — and we’re looking for a visionary volunteer CEO to take the lead.

This is not a symbolic role. This is hands‑on, high‑energy, entrepreneurial leadership at the heart of a new youth‑driven movement.

This VOLUNTEER Role

• Developing partnerships across Shoreditch and beyond.

• Leading on fundraising, visibility, and community engagement.

• Setting the tone for a bold, youth‑centred culture.

• Guiding our long‑term strategy and organisational growth.

This is a role for someone who sees opportunity everywhere and isn’t afraid to make things happen.

What You'll Bring To REMIX

• A driven, entrepreneurial mindset.

• Natural leadership and the ability to inspire others.

• Experience building or leading teams, projects, or organisations.

• A passion for youth empowerment and social mobility.

• Confidence navigating fast‑moving, creative environments.

• The ability to turn ideas into action and action into impact.

What You'll Get From Your Time At REMIX

• The chance to build a charity from the ground up.

• A leadership role with real purpose and real influence.

• A platform to shape opportunities for young people across London.

• A creative, committed team who believe in the mission.

• The satisfaction of knowing your leadership will change lives.

Ready to Lead the Remix

If you’re excited by challenge, motivated by impact, and ready to help young people rewrite their futures, we’d love to hear from you.

Share a bit about your experience and what drives you — let’s build something powerful together.
