Jakarta, Jakarta, Indonesia Ashoka Full time $60,000 - $120,000 per year
Ashoka is unleashing demand for empathy as a 21st century skill. Our Global Empathy Initiative has mobilized a powerful group of social entrepreneurs (Ashoka Fellows), schools (Ashoka Changemaker Schools), media thought leaders, and other partners to drive a fundamental shift in children's education and coming of age.   We are looking for an extraordinary entrepreneur to lead the Start Empathy initiative for South Asia. We have a powerful opportunity for an imaginative, collaborative entrepreneur. If you are an accomplished leader (from any field) who has built or grown an organization from early stages to large size, has built teams, believes in the power of networks, and are looking for the next big challenge, come join us.   What You'll Do:
  • Lead, grow, and collaborate with Ashoka's teams to build the Start Empathy initiative in South Asia as part of a collaborative entrepreneurship global movement.
  • Work with Ashoka's CEO and South Asia regional leader, and other senior stakeholders to build the region as an integrated, fluid team of teams by weaving together Ashoka Fellows, carefully selected movement partners - teacher's organizations and ed schools, publishers/media, government agencies, youth and parent organizations
  • Raise resources, pioneer new revenue models, and garner strategic support to help make "Every child must master Empathy" the new normal. 
  • Design and lead systems to unleash compelling insights from Ashoka Fellow innovations
What You Bring:
  • The Start Empathy Leader should have a track record of creating new ideas that have resulted in a systemic change in his/her field. He/she should believe deeply in the power of social entrepreneurship and understand Ashoka's Everyone a Changemaker vision.

  • Understanding and Belief in the Everyone a Changemaker: Understands and believes the Everyone a Changemaker vision at a gut level.
