Chair of Trustees / Millimetres 2 Mountains Foundation CIO

About Us:

Millimetres 2 Mountains Foundation (M2M) is a charity dedicated to helping individuals rebuild their lives after experiencing physical or emotional trauma. Founded by former professional rugby player Ed Jackson and his wife, Lois, following Ed’s life-changing spinal injury, M2M uses the power of adventure, nature, and community to support people on their journey of recovery. 

At the heart of the charity lies the M2M Development Programme - a bespoke, holistic support system tailored to each beneficiary’s unique recovery journey. Through one-to-one mentorship, a nurturing community, and the transformative power of the outdoors (culminating in life-changing mountain expeditions abroad), M2M empowers individuals to rediscover purpose, rebuild confidence, and move forward with lasting resilience. We take on eight new beneficiaries each year, supporting up to 24 individuals at any one time. Guided by our ‘inch-wide, mile-deep’ philosophy, we focus on depth of impact over scale, ensuring each person receives the tools, encouragement, and care needed to create life-long change. This includes access to grants for physiotherapy, psychotherapy, job retraining, and any other support essential to their growth. Everyone is met exactly where they are, with a personalised plan that reflects their goals, challenges, and potential.

Alongside our core programmes, M2M runs Together Outdoors -  a community-based initiative that harnesses the healing power of nature and connection through mental health walks led by trained volunteers and Life Coaches, offering safe, inclusive spaces for honest conversation, emotional support, and personal growth. In 2026, growing and deepening the Together Outdoors community and network is at the heart of everything we're building - and this year we've taken a significant step forward with the launch of a new one-year support pathway, designed for individuals rebuilding their mental health after significant physical or psychological trauma. 

M2M is an inclusive, people first organisation. A core part of achieving our mission is that our workforce is diverse and reflective of the community that we serve. There will be no discrimination in our recruitment and selection processes, nor when considering pay and benefits.

Strategic Brand & PR Lead (Global Leadership Strategy)

About the Role

We are looking for a visionary Brand & PR Strategist to help transition an established media personality and 8x author into the preeminent Global Leadership Strategist. As the CEO of Grace to Grow, I am shifting my focus toward high-level mentorship, international speaking, and curated leadership experiences (including our flagship LeadHerShip Cruise).

Your mission will be to ensure that my digital footprint, professional narrative, and media presence reflect Authority, EQ, and Global Impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Narrative Re-Positioning: Audit current assets to pivot the brand from "Media Host" to "Global Leadership Authority," integrating legacy achievements as social proof.
• PR & Media Strategy: Identify and outreach to high-level leadership publications and podcasts to secure guest features and thought-leadership placements.
• Digital Brand Alignment: provide strategic input on the brand "look and feel", ensuring the copy and design resonate with high-value leaders.
• Speaker Branding: Create a "Speaker One-Sheet" and professional bios tailored for international stages and corporate partnerships.
• Content Pillars: Help define a streamlined LinkedIn and content strategy that focuses on purpose-driven leadership.

What We Are Looking For

• Experience in Executive Branding, B2B PR, or Luxury Marketing.
• Exceptional copywriting skills with a focus on authority and "prestige" tone.
• An understanding of the Global Leadership landscape.
• Ability to think strategically—we aren't just looking for "posts," we are looking for positioning.

Application Question: If you were tasked with transitioning a well-known media personality into a Global Leadership Strategist, what is the first thing you would change about their current 'Bio' to ensure they are perceived as a high-level authority rather than a content creator?

Impact of Your Work

By volunteering with Grace to Grow, you are helping empower a community of high-level female leaders to thrive in their purpose. You will play a direct role in scaling a brand that bridges the gap between professional excellence and personal well-being on a global scale.
