The Alliance to Feed the Earth in Disasters (ALLFED)—an effective-altruism–aligned, global charity, registered in the US as a 501(c)(3) and with sister entities in the UK and Australia – is seeking its first Chief Executive Officer to guide the organization through a pivotal and challenging moment in its history. ALLFED is the only organization in the world dedicated solely to building resilience to global catastrophic food system failure, events that could reduce global caloric output or access by 5% or more. Our work sits at the frontier of global catastrophic risk reduction.
Until now, ALLFED has operated with a flat directorate structure; as we navigate a period of both funding pressure and increasing global opportunities for our expertise, we are creating a CEO role to provide unified leadership for our next chapter. The CEO will work closely with the Board and executive management team to strengthen governance, sharpen strategy, elevate our impact, and build long-term financial sustainability—while representing ALLFED’s work to partners, governments, research bodies, and funders around the world.
This role offers the opportunity to make an outsized impact in a field where meaningful leadership can shift global outcomes and will appeal to someone energized by complexity, motivated by real-world impact, and eager to help shape the future of a unique organization working at the highest-leverage point in food security and global risk resilience.
We value diversity of experience, perspective, and background, and encourage candidates to apply even if they do not meet every listed requirement. We welcome applications from individuals of all genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, ages, abilities, religions, nationalities, and socioeconomic backgrounds. We believe inclusive teams drive better decisions and stronger, more resilient solutions.
This part-time, flexible, globally remote role is suitable for candidates with disabilities, caring responsibilities, or other pre-existing commitments.
