Chief Human Resources Officer (Volunteer)

About the role

Wevise is on a mission to level the playing field in tech. Through direct programming and partnerships with nonprofits supporting underserved and disadvantaged people to enter and advance in the technology industry, we provide access to mentors, training and educational opportunities, and careers.

Our goals:

• Support underserved and disadvantaged people to enter and thrive in the technology industry
• Partner with organizations who need mentorship and career placement programs to complement their main programming, helping them to better serve their beneficiaries
• Support companies in finding the right, often diverse, candidates

We have two programs:

• A free, on-demand mentorship platform that allows people to request mentorship based on specific needs, interests, background, and experience. Mentors and mentees can specify their interest in short, medium, and long-term mentorship. Mentors choose one or more mentees that resonate with them from a curated list of five mentorship requests. Although the platform is open and free to all, we are focused on supporting underserved and disadvantaged people. Mentors and mentees are matched with people who have overcome similar barriers.
• The TechPath Alliance, which is a city-focused program currently being piloted in Chicago, IL. The initiative brings together nonprofits and for-profits to collaboratively run a 6 month mentoring and career development program for underserved emerging tech professionals.

We're looking for a Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) to build and strengthen the people systems that support our volunteer-driven organization. You'll work closely with our CEO and COO to shape an inclusive culture, lead recruitment and onboarding, and create the structures that help volunteers thrive as Wevise grows. This is an opportunity to build something from the ground up. If you enjoy designing people-centered processes, creating clarity where none exists, and using your HR expertise to expand access to meaningful career opportunities, we'd love to hear from you.

Who We're Looking For

Someone with experience in HR leadership, people operations, or talent strategy who enjoys both strategy and hands-on execution. You might come from nonprofit HR, people operations, organizational development, or volunteer management. Strong communication skills, a collaborative mindset, and a passion for building inclusive, supportive environments are essential.
