Chief Executive Officer

The Sandberg Goldberg Bernthal Family Foundation

The Sandberg Goldberg Bernthal Family Foundation (SGBFF) works to build a more equal and resilient world. We bring people together to support each other through four initiatives: LeanIn.Org, LeanInGirls.Org, OptionB.Org, and the Dave Goldberg Scholarship Program.

About This Role

Lean In inspires and equips women to lead. Today, that mission is more urgent than ever.

As CEO, you will lead Lean In—our flagship initiative and a global community of millions—while overseeing our broader family of programs. This role requires both vision and execution: someone who can see where the world is heading and build what’s needed to meet it.

About This Moment

Work is changing faster than at any point in recent memory. Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries, redefining skills, and altering how opportunity is distributed. We know from experience that when workplaces transform, women can be left behind. 

We cannot let that happen. 

Lean In must evolve to meet this moment. We have built a powerful global community and a trusted brand. Now we must translate that strength into tools, products, and partnerships that help women not only navigate change—but lead it.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for a leader who builds. Someone who understands how to turn ideas into products, products into communities, and communities into movements. 

You have strong product instincts and the discipline to execute. You know how to ship, learn, and improve. You understand how technology—especially AI—can expand access and opportunity when used thoughtfully. 

You also understand people. You know what resonates. You know how to build trust. And you know that real growth happens when individuals feel seen, supported, and empowered to support others. 

You know how to manage high-performing teams. You’ve set ambitious goals and delivered results. You are comfortable moving quickly, making decisions with imperfect information, and adjusting course when needed. 

Most importantly, you believe deeply that advancing women is essential—not just for fairness, but for progress.

What Success Looks Like

You'll transform Lean In into an organization where product and content work in concert to serve and rapidly grow our community of millions of women globally. 

You'll build partnerships that extend our reach beyond what we could achieve alone. 

You'll create the conditions for exponential community growth—where every member becomes a gateway to reaching more women who need us. You'll create operational discipline that allows us to move fast while maintaining our mission integrity.

Who You Are

You may come from technology, media, education, or another field entirely. What matters most is what you’ve built and your dedication to our mission of advancing women in leadership. A technical degree is a plus, but not required.

You are optimistic about the future but realistic about the challenges. You are steady under pressure. You are energized by the possibility of meaningful change.

And you believe that when women rise, we all rise.

What We Will Offer You

The base salary for the CEO role will range from $395,000 to $475,000 annually, based on experience and demonstrated leadership. In addition, the CEO will be eligible for an annual performance bonus of up to 20% of base salary, tied directly to the achievement of organizational goals.

We believe in rewarding results—and in supporting the whole person. Our benefits package includes medical, dental, and vision insurance; a 401(k) with a 4% employer match; generous paid time off; and additional benefits designed to support well-being and long-term success.
