Current opportunities

We are seeking an exceptional Country Director for Ethiopia, a visionary leader who can combine the heart of a philanthropist with the strategic and commercial discipline of a chief executive. This individual will lead over 280 colleagues and oversee the Foundation’s full Ethiopia portfolio, spanning education, water, and productivity initiatives, as well as for-profit ventures.

This is not a traditional NGO leadership role. It is the equivalent of running a multi-sector enterprise combining schools (from fully subsidised to fee-paying models), water interventions that unlock community livelihoods, and major commercial investments such as the Pharo Edible Oil Plant and a forthcoming investment in a health business.
