Chair of the Board

The Company is seeking a new Chair to lead and guide its board through a period of evolution and strategic development. The successful candidate will be expected to bring fresh ideas, perspectives, and approaches to the role, and to help evaluate and lead the board through key strategic opportunities. This includes engaging with existing and new audiences, as well as shaping the strategy for the future and ensuring good governance. The role requires a time commitment of approximately 4 days a month, with some match day attendance, and is pro bono. We are looking for an individual with senior leadership experience in the arts, culture, or sports sector, who is enthusiastic about setting strategy, experienced in change management, and can provide guidance and insight as the company explores future opportunities. The ideal candidate will be inclusive, empathetic, collaborative, and consultative, with a passion for the sport and a strong appreciation for contemporary governance. Experience in a non-executive role, particularly at the Chair level, is considered advantageous. The company is committed to diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from under-represented groups, including women, Black, Asian, and minority ethnic people, LGBTQ+ communities, and individuals with disabilities.
