About Ashoka Ashoka is the worldโ€™s largest community of leading social entrepreneurs and pioneered the field of social entrepreneurship more than 40 years ago. We find, select, and support a robust network of more than 4,000 Ashoka Fellows in 90 countries who have successfully implemented systems-changing solutions to human and environmental problems globally. By learning from and collaborating with our Fellows and other social entrepreneurs, Ashoka identifies patterns and key levers to help society gain a new framework for living in the world as a changemaker. Ashokaโ€™s work therefore started with the Fellows, building and spreading the construct of social entrepreneurship, which has led to our current work โ€“ the โ€˜Everyone a Changemakerโ€™ (EACH) movement. EACH stems from our belief that everyone is a โ€œgiverโ€, and that everyone must recognize both their potential and responsibility to make positive change in an everchanging world. Central to this movement is breaking down silos and replacing them with new networks (and new networks of networks) that together fundamentally change how people of all ages identify and act as changemakers. The Opportunity Ashoka seeks an individual with a track record of entrepreneurialism, innovation, and sector-wide impact to lead on our global search for priority senior staff talent. The Leadership Group Member (LGM) for Global Search will lead a small but international Search team in developing new approaches to better source, engage and champion the most aligned priority senior prospects for global and regional roles. They will leverage decades of Talent experience to build in-roads to even more of the worldโ€™s leading innovators and changemakers to strengthen our pipeline for priority senior hires. They will also lead on broader implementation of our OneSearch approach across Ashokaโ€™s global teams, which honours prospective candidates as whole people and re-frames conversations to identify the most mutually beneficial opportunities for future employment or collaboration. The LGM for Global Search will be a key member of Ashokaโ€™s global senior executive team, too, working closely with other leaders to integrate core strategy and performance measurement across the organization, and creating new systems that lead to growth and greater effectiveness.

Key Achievements Will Include Innovation in priority senior staff recruitment to ensure that the most aligned and entrepreneurial talent is sourced, engaged and championed Implementation of new strategies to more successfully tap into networks of constituent groups including Ashoka Fellows, alumni and partners Formation of new networks in and across sectors to open additional pathways for identifying and engaging priority senior talent globally Leveraging of deep knowledge of digital recruitment platforms to maximise their benefits and more successfully meet team hiring targets Application of artificial intelligence that is both strategic and ethical to streamline online searches and identify the most aligned senior priority candidates Successful collaboration with Ashokaโ€™s Excellence and Leadership Teams to ensure that a higher number of sourced priority senior talent successfully advance through organizationโ€™s multiple hiring stages Bridge-building with regional, thematic and core constituency teams to cultivate shared, robust approach to finding and engaging the most aligned leading innovators and changemakers Organizing to maximize efficiency by maintaining favorable outcomes while reducing costs in the context of best practices Compliance with all relevant GDPR regulations and industry standards Qualifications Given that this role is in Ashokaโ€™s Leadership Group and involves international influencing and impact, the right candidate will have the skills and 15-20 years of related Search experience to effectively execute deliverables.
