Chair (Board-level role)

The Company is seeking a Chair to lead its Board through a period of strategic ambition, renewal, and growth. Working closely with the Chief Executive and Board colleagues, the Chair will guide strategic direction and oversee strong governance, accountability, and effective collective decision-making across a complex organization. The role includes supporting the organization’s growth agenda and serving as an ambassador, building relationships with senior stakeholders and advocating internationally for improved services for underserved urban communities. Candidates should bring significant Board leadership experience, ideally as a Chair, Senior Independent Director, or committee chair in a complex, international, or purpose-led organization. A strong record in governance and organizational leadership, along with sound judgment and the ability to guide change, renewal, and growth, is essential. The successful candidate will also have the credibility and influence to engage senior leaders across government, business, development finance, and philanthropy. A collaborative, strategic, and inclusive approach, cultural awareness, and commitment to underserved communities are important; experience in international development, climate resilience, infrastructure, or public services is advantageous.
