Executive Director

• Values-led organisation
• Transformational change leadership
• Commercially savvy with a growth mindset

Rape Prevention Education (RPE) is a leading organisation dedicated to sexual violence prevention. They are seeking an experienced and visionary Executive Director to lead their strategic, operational, and financial initiatives, to advance their mission of working together to end sexual violence.
 
RPE is at a turning point. With a powerful kaupapa and a history of impact, they are now seeking a bold and capable leader to strengthen their foundation and lead their transformation. The Executive Director will bring commercial discipline, cultural fluency, and systems thinking to reposition RPE for sustainability and scale.
 
This is the most senior leadership role within RPE. The ED holds full accountability for leading the organisation’s strategy, operations, financial performance, fundraising, people leadership, and reputation. The ED will play a critical role in strengthening core operations, driving funding diversification, and re-positioning RPE for long-term impact in a complex and resource-constrained environment.
 
This role offers a platform to shape national discourse, influence system change, and build a powerful legacy in social leadership. We’re looking for a bold, commercially-minded leader who is ready to step into CEO-level responsibility — and lead one of Aotearoa’s most important organisations into its next chapter of impact.
 
This role is not for the faint-hearted — it’s for someone who thrives in complexity, brings clarity to ambiguity, and wants their work to matter.
