Entrepreneurship in the territories: is it the right time?
The Role: Head of Partnerships
Teach for Thailand is at a pivotal moment of growth and impact expansion. Over the next 5 years, we aim to increase our funding base, expand strategic partnerships, and deepen our influence across sectors to drive systemic change in education.
As our Head of Partnerships, you will be at the forefront of this growth, leading the charge to raise at least THB 70M THB annually, mobilize high-profile champions, and secure transformative partnerships that fuel our mission. You will build and lead a powerhouse team that drives funding, stakeholder engagement, and cross-sector collaboration, ensuring that Teach for Thailand is positioned as a leading force in education and social impact.
Your success will be defined by growth in funding (15% YoY increase), deepening multi-year partnerships, securing public-private collaborations, and strengthening Teach for Thailand’s presence across key sectors - education, business, philanthropy, and government.
This is a rare opportunity to lead at a national level, shaping the future of education in Thailand while working alongside a mission-driven team and a diverse network of champions. If you are a sharp, thoughtful and low ego leader with a go-getter mentality - someone who thrives on both big-picture strategy and deep execution, isn’t afraid to roll up your sleeves to get things done, and builds trust through action - this role will give you the platform to drive real, measurable change.
