The Company is in need of an experienced Interim Chief Executive to provide steady and trusted leadership during a period of transition. The successful candidate will be responsible for maintaining the organization's programs and finances, supporting the Board in the appointment of a permanent Chief Executive, and providing visible executive leadership to reassure colleagues, partners, and stakeholders. This role is not focused on driving change but rather on providing continuity and assurance, with an emphasis on candid and confidential advice to the Trustees. The Interim Chief Executive will also be involved in day-to-day operations, people management, and risk, and must have a strong background in financial oversight. Applicants for the Interim Chief Executive position at the company should have substantial experience in a senior leadership role, with a proven track record of working closely with a Board or governing body. Essential skills include practical financial acumen, experience in leading through transition, and excellent stakeholder management and communication. The ideal candidate will have a steady, approachable style that can quickly earn the trust of a small team and may have a background in grant making, philanthropy, research, higher education, or investment oversight. The role requires a leader with the judgment to handle sensitive people matters with fairness and discretion, and who can provide robust financial oversight, including the review and authorization of significant payments.
