Description

A leader in economic systems change, our global network creates standards, policies, and tools for business. We certify companies — known as B Corps — who are leading the way.

B Lab Global creates standards, policies, tools, and programs that shift the behavior, culture, and structural underpinnings of capitalism. We mobilize the B Corp community towards collective action to address society’s most critical challenges. Our global community includes over 9,000 B Corps in 100+ countries and 162 industries. More than 100,000 companies use our B Impact Assessment and SDG Action Manager to manage their impact.

B Lab U.S. & Canada is one of six global partners of the global network. We foster and mobilize a growing community of people and businesses working towards a more fair and inclusive economy in the United States and Canada. Over 2,000 B Corps make up the U.S. & Canada community, supported by the nonprofit, B Lab U.S. & Canada.

Position Overview

The CEO leads B Lab as the primary architect of its unified future – translating Board direction into a clear vision and coherent operating model, and stewarding the mission across the global network.

This role goes beyond conventional CEO functions by explicitly championing network health as a strategic priority – ensuring the CEO Office dedicates appropriate attention to fostering collaboration across B Lab's complex structure. As B Lab’s principal external voice, the CEO also represents the organisation on the global stage, building credibility with business leaders, funders, policy makers and multilaterals.

The CEO holds ultimate accountability for vision, strategy, culture, and the ongoing network integration, creating the conditions for the organization to deliver B Lab’s Theory of Change and contribute to economic transformation.

Transformation Context

B Lab is undergoing two simultaneous transformations: the evolution of its standards and assurance model, and the unification of its network into one global organisation. The CEO must navigate this complexity while energising leaders and teams. This role requires bringing calm and confidence while maintaining momentum on critical strategic initiatives and building a vision for the future.

The CEO must ensure that integration enhances rather than constrains B Lab's ability to drive systems change, building trust that the new unified structure will strengthen mission and impact. Leading through this transformation demands exceptional emotional intelligence, strategic clarity, and the ability to hold space for both organizational change and excitement about the future.

Mission Connection

The CEO embodies B Lab's Theory of Change by orchestrating how the organization drives behavior change in business, grows a movement and scales the cultural and structural change needed to transform the economic system. As the primary steward of the mission, the CEO ensures that every portfolio – from standards to technology, from markets to movement building – works in concert to create an economy that works for all people and the planet.

This role must articulate and evolve B Lab's vision in ways that inspire diverse stakeholders while maintaining operational discipline. The CEO demonstrates that organizational effectiveness and impact are mutually reinforcing dynamics. Through strategic leadership and cultural stewardship, the CEO helps B Lab model the interdependence and care it seeks to create in the world.

Compensation

This is a truly global role and compensation may differ depending on the location in which the successful candidate is based. B Lab has gathered equitable salary insights for each region of opera
