Job description

Join to apply for the Networks Director role at YPO

Are you inspired by the idea of connecting visionary leaders around the world? Do you thrive at the intersection of strategy, innovation, and community building? Join YPO’s Health & Wellness Network and help shape the experience of the world’s most dynamic chief executives as they explore what it means to lead — and live — well.

Why YPO

YPO is the global leadership community of more than 34,000 chief executives across 150+ countries. We believe business can be a force for good — and the world needs better leaders.

As a Network Director , you’ll serve as both strategist and catalyst — guiding YPO’s Health & Wellness Network to deliver extraordinary member value. You’ll partner closely with member leaders to build a thriving, globally connected community focused on well-being, innovation, and personal growth.

This role blends strategic planning, content design, operational excellence, and global engagement. You’ll work with members, volunteers, and internal teams to bring bold ideas to life — ensuring every program, event, and initiative delivers exceptional value to YPO members around the world.

What You’ll Do

  • Serve as the strategic advisor to the Network Chair and Board, guiding strategy, annual goals, and member engagement plans.
  • Design and execute initiatives that create meaningful connections and learning opportunities across regions.
  • Lead the operational and financial health of the network, managing budgets and ensuring alignment with YPO’s broader mission.
  • Partner with YPO’s global events, learning, and marketing teams to deliver world-class experiences — both virtual and in-person.
  • Oversee development of a vibrant digital community platform that keeps members connected year-round.
  • Support and guide member leaders, ensuring smooth succession, onboarding, and engagement throughout the year.
  • Collaborate across networks, regions, and departments to share insights and drive continuous improvement.
  • Deliver exceptional service and communication to members, helping them feel seen, supported, and inspired.

Who You Are

You’re a strategic connector who loves turning ideas into impact. You move easily between visionary thinking and practical execution, and you thrive on helping others succeed.

You’re naturally collaborative, globally minded, and energized by building communities that matter. You can manage complex projects, build trusted relationships, and bring people together with empathy and purpose.

If words like strategic, adaptable, curious, and relationship-driven describe you — this might be your next big chapter.

What You Bring

  • 10+ years of experience in account management, strategy, management consulting, or a related leadership role.
  • Proven success building relationships with C-level executives and working with boards or committees.
  • Strong experience in event management, learning program design, or community engagement.
  • Financial management and budget ownership experience.
  • Bachelor’s degree required; Master’s or PMP / CMP certification a plus.
  • Global mindset, comfort navigating cultural nuances, and flexibility across time zones.
  • Willingness to travel internationally (approximately 20–25% per year).
  • Why You’ll Love This Role

    This isn’t just a leadership role — it’s a community-building mission.

    You’ll have the opportunity to :

  • Collaborate with remarkable leaders who are redefining what leadership and well-being mean.
  • Shape programs and initiatives that make a real impact on how executives learn, grow, and connect.
  • Work alongside a supportive, global team that values trust, creativity, and collaboration.
  • Contribute to a purpose-driven organization that believes better leaders create a better world.
  • Ready to help shape the future of global leadership and well-being?
