Chair (Board-level role)

The Company is seeking a Chair of Trustees to help guide its next phase of development and shape its strategic direction. Working with the Board, the Chair will foster strategic discussion, constructive challenge, and shared ownership of opportunities and risks. The role includes serving as a trusted adviser to the executive while maintaining clear governance boundaries, and representing the organization with a broad range of stakeholders. The Chair will help balance growth and financial resilience with the organization’s public purpose. Candidates should bring Board-level or comparable leadership experience, strong strategic judgement, and an understanding of effective governance. They should be able to unite people around a shared purpose, build trust, listen to differing perspectives, and offer constructive challenge with diplomacy. Experience leading through complexity or change, particularly in publicly funded or partnership-based environments, is relevant. A career in heritage is not required; relevant leadership experience across cultural, charitable, public-service, or similar settings is welcome.
