What are the responsibilities and job description for the Executive Liaison position at Too Young to Wed?
Role Overview
Too Young to Wed is a global organization working to end child marriage and advance girls’ rights through education, protection, and long-term community change. Our work brings together advocacy, storytelling, policy, and on-the-ground programs in communities where girls face the greatest barriers—and where thoughtful, steady leadership matters deeply.
The Executive Liaison (Consultant to the CEO) is a time-limited, high-impact role supporting the CEO during an initial contract phase. The focus is on strengthening preparation, coordination, and follow-through around meetings, relationships, and priorities that shape the organization’s external presence and long-term direction.
This role offers a close, meaningful view into how a mission-driven organization is led day to day. It is designed as a trial engagement to assess mutual fit, working style, and trust before any potential transition to a full-time employee role. The consultant supports the CEO directly in an advisory and coordination capacity, while final judgment, authority, and decision-making remain with the CEO. The role is especially well suited to a sharp, adaptable generalist who learns quickly, exercises sound judgment, and takes quiet pride in making complex, purpose-driven work run smoothly.
