Chair (Board-level role)

The Company is seeking a new Chair to lead its board of trustees during a pivotal phase of growth and transformation. The successful candidate will be a senior leader with a strong commercial and financial background, capable of providing strategic oversight and governance to ensure the organization's continued success. This role is not just about leadership; it is about being a passionate ambassador for the company's mission, which is deeply rooted in wildlife conservation and connecting people with nature. The Chair will be instrumental in shaping the future of the organization, building strong relationships with the Executive team, and supporting the development of the company's charitable impact. Applicants for the Chair position at the company should be prepared to make a significant time commitment, with an anticipated involvement of around 2 days per month. The ideal candidate will have board-level experience, be adept at leading inclusive meetings, and fostering a culture of robust discussion and consensus. Integrity, curiosity, and a warm, collaborative approach are essential. The role requires a candidate who can balance the delivery of charitable impact with the operation of a thriving visitor attraction, and who is dedicated to the values of the organization, including nature, collaboration, and inclusion. The company encourages individuals from all backgrounds to apply, particularly those whose perspectives are currently underrepresented on charity boards.
