Chief Executive Officer (Part-Time)

Position: Part-Time (40–50% capacity) Location: Remote (Israel)

At Deep Voice, we apply cutting-edge machine learning to support the protection of marine mammals through bioacoustics. Our mission is to empower biologists and conservationists with robust tools for detecting, classifying, and understanding underwater acoustic data.

We are looking for a resourceful, impact-driven CEO to lead Deep Voice into its next chapter.

We were recently awarded a prestigious grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) under the Vessel Strike Avoidance Fund. This project, backed by NOAA, focuses on developing high-precision AI to distinguish between North Atlantic Right Whale (NARW) and Humpback Whale calls.

This is a unique opportunity to manage a project with direct, real-world impact: increasing the efficiency of acoustic monitoring to prevent vessel strikes on critically endangered species.

As the part-time CEO, you will wear multiple hats, balancing strategic leadership with hands-on operations. You will be the driving force behind our growth, aiming towards increasing the amount of projects and impact of the NGO, along with managing ongoing projects.

Key Responsibilities:

• Project Management: Lead the execution of our NFWF-funded project, ensuring we meet milestones in developing AI classification algorithms for NARW conservation.
• Fundraising & Strategy: Identify and apply for new grants, cultivate donor relationships, and develop a fundraising strategy to sustain and expand the NGO’s reach.
• Strategy & Vision: Set strategic goals for Deep Voice and lead the organisation, employees and the volunteers to enable it.
• Operations & Financial Management: Oversee the organization's budget, manage cash flow, and handle day-to-day administrative operations.
• Compliance & Reporting: Work closely with our legal and accounting teams to submit annual reports to authorities and ensure full regulatory compliance.
• Brand Awareness & Marketing: Act as the face of Deep Voice. Manage media relations, oversee marketing efforts, and build brand awareness within the conservation and tech communities.

We are looking for someone enthusiastic about conservation who wants to see their work create a tangible positive impact on our world. You should be a "doer" - someone who is comfortable working independently and navigating the challenges of a growing non-profit.

Required Qualifications:

• Proven track record in management or leadership roles.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, both in English and Hebrew.
• High level of resourcefulness and ability to problem-solve in a lean environment.
• Financial literacy (experience managing budgets).
• Experience in strategic planning & creating a roadmap for organisations

Advantages (Preferred but not required):

• Experience working in the Third Sector (Non-Profit/NGO).
• Background or experience in the Tech industry (specifically AI or Data Science).

• Direct Impact: Your work will directly contribute to saving the North Atlantic Right Whale and other marine species from extinction.
• Innovation: Work at the cutting edge where AI meets environmental preservation.
