About Heifer International

Heifer International is a global nonprofit dedicated to partnering with smallholder farmers to sustainably address hunger and poverty in their communities while caring for the Earth. Since 1944, we have helped more than 52 million families around the world break the cycle of poverty. We operate in 19 countries across Africa, Asia, and the Americas, including the U.S., working with small-scale farmers to achieve living incomes and ensuring that they have adequate food, housing, and other essential resources to lead decent and dignified lives.

Our Values

At Heifer, our work and culture are grounded in our twelve Cornerstones and six Cultural Guiding Principles, which reflect our deep commitment to dignity, fairness, and impact. These values shape how we lead, collaborate, and grow as an organization. We believe in Passing on the Gift, accountability, caring for one another, sustainability, gender and social inclusion, and environmental stewardship. We prioritize full participation, open communication, and continuous learning rooted in self-awareness and human-centered leadership. Together, we foster a culture of belonging and shared purpose that drives meaningful, lasting change in the communities we serve.

The Organizational Context: A Integral Ecosystem in Transformation





Heifer is transforming toward an agile, adaptive, farmer-centered, locally led, and globally connected network organization. Over the past several years, the transformation journey has focused on redefining our Program Model, exploring and experimenting with an emerging operating logic, evolving our thinking about the Business Model, and grounding our shared values and ways of working in the 12 Cornerstones.

Heifer is now moving from a predominantly design-focused phase toward shared language, experimentation, learning, and activation. The transformation spans multiple interdependent streams, including the Program Model, Operating Model, Business Model, Culture and Cornerstones, governance, experimentation and activation all forming a Regenerative Network Organization (RNO).

As this work becomes increasingly distributed across countries, networks, ecosystems, functions and capabilities, transformation can no longer depend on a small central team to make change happen. Heifer is intentionally building the capability to transform itself: enabling people across the organization to experiment, learn, adapt, make decisions and activate the emerging model in context.

This role is an amazing opportunity to contribute to a locally led, globally connected organization, being a member of a mission-aligned team,



and the chance to reshape one of the world’s most respected development organizations. You will join an executive team that has the courage to be vulnerable on their way to building trust. You will receive proper support and onboarding to catch up with the transformation journey and support your journey towards belonging.

Role Contribution

The Transformation Steward provides executive stewardship of the next phase of Heifer’s transformation, protecting the integrity and coherence of the transformation while enabling it to evolve through experimentation, learning, and adaptation.

Working closely with the CEO, Transformation Stewardship Committee, the Board of Directors, and distributed transformation capabilities, the Steward holds a whole-system view across Heifer’s emerging Regenerative Network Organization (RNO), organizational design, governance, human and cultural systems, and broader transformation portfolio. The role provides leadership to the Sr. Director, Integration and Adaptation and the Communications Team (Node), helps ensure that all these interconnected dimensions evolve coherently and that the conditions, resources, relationships, and decisions needed for transformation are in place for operationalization.

The Steward does not own or execute all transformation activities. Instead, the role cultivates distributed transformation capability, shared stewardship, participation, and co-creation across Heifer—helping the organization build the capacity to continuously sense, learn, adapt, and transform itself. In this networked way of working, the role will make decisions jointly with the SC and TSC core teams and facilitate the decision-making process with those teams and key stakeholders.
