About The Position

Range Foundation was established in 2006 alongside the founding of the company, reflecting a belief that travel should create lasting value for the people and communities it touches. Since its inception, the Foundation has donated or committed more than $60 million to philanthropic initiatives, grounded in carefully selected projects, trusted partners, measurable outcomes, and a commitment to ensuring that every contribution creates meaningful impact. The Foundation is now entering an important next chapter: creating compelling ways for Range clients to participate in this mission and making purposeful giving a natural extension of the travel experience. We are seeking a Head of Range Foundation to design, launch, and scale a distinctive client philanthropy program across Range Group. Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer and working closely with the CEO and Founder, this leader's primary mandate will be to inspire meaningful participation from Range's client community. They will shape a compelling giving proposition, integrate it thoughtfully into the client journey, and build the organizational capabilities required to grow participation over time. Success will be defined first and foremost by establishing client giving as a significant and scalable source of funding for the Foundation. The role combines strategy, customer proposition design, storytelling, relationship building, and hands-on execution - a unique opportunity for a high-performing individual with a deep personal commitment to philanthropy to move from advising organizations to building a platform with enduring social impact.
