Work Location: TSHWANE LEADERSHIP FOUNDATION | TLF Head Office

- 288 Burgers Park Lane, Pta-central

The Tshwane Leadership Foundation (TLF) is a nonprofit organisation working with churches and communities for urban transformation with a specific focus on social inclusion - a process that integrates socially vulnerable people creatively and prevents displacement as much as possible.

The organisation seeks to appoint a Chief Executive Officer, based in Pretoria, to lead, support and manage all the Tshwane Leadership Foundation programmes. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) that TLF is looking for, should be a mature Christian with an active faith life, since the organisation is faith-based. The position is multi-faceted and requires a diverse skill set, including excellent stakeholder engagement skills, the ability to drive organizational success, and a vision for the future. The CEO is the external face of the organisation and as such interacts with stakeholders at all levels (internal and external) from grassroots communities and staff members to other NGOs and senior government officials, both locally and internationally. The role is suited to an individual with significant leadership and management experience and the ability to perform well under pressure as part of a dynamic team.
