We are looking for someone with substantial commercial experience in either the private or charitable sectors, ideally with a strong strategic element. The successful applicant will be able to show a track record of leading groups of volunteers. We are open to nominations from candidates with a background in any of the many different activities and sectors of the Institute’s members.
