About: Too Young to Wed (TYTW) is a global organization working to protect, uplift, and stand with girls who have survived violence, displacement, and harmful social and gender norms such as FGM/C and child marriage. TYTW envisions a world where every girl can decide for herself, if, when and to whom she will marry; girls are free to be children and teens, with access to gender-specific healthcare and all levels of education; all girls are free to determine the course of their own lives. Globally, TYTW develops girl-centered education and empowerment programs in fragile and conflict-affected contexts in Africa, SE Asia and MENA helping girls gain knowledge and skills that enable them to feel empowered, build resilience and improve their education, health, livelihood and overall well being.

Help managers navigate programmatic and operational challenges related to team cohesion, burnout, stress, trauma, and team wellbeing
Facilitate regular check-ins, feedback loops, and structures for supportive accountability across the program unit
Identify skill and capacity gaps of program staff, and lead or coordinate professional development opportunities for managers
Ensure trauma-informed practices and embed across team communication, decision-making, and culture

Implementation & Crisis Support

Serve as a trusted problem-solver and triage partner when core staff hit implementation or relational roadblocks
Monitor and respond to urgent needs across programs, particularly in fragile contexts (e.g. secret schools, drought zones)
Lead cross-team alignment during high-pressure periods (e.g. donor deadlines, emergencies, conflict)
Develop scalable support tools and systems to help the team manage crises independently while reducing dependency on the ED

Risk & Emotional Resilience Stewardship

Provide emotional steadiness and hold space during high-stress and emotionally charged events (e.g. student medical emergencies, security threats, grief/loss in teams)
Help maintain staff safety and morale in difficult environments without minimizing complexity
Collaborate with ED and regional leads to assess and mitigate risk in programming and partnerships

Strategic Alignment & Organizational Growth

Partner with the Executive Director and Deputy ED to reinforce a healthy, values-aligned culture during organizational growth
Serve as a bridge between programs, people care, and implementation without replacing or duplicating roles
Contribute to strategic planning and team structure design as needed

Experienced in safeguarding, risk mitigation, or psychosocial support is a strong plus
Comfortable working across regions, time zones, and cultural contexts
