The Chief Executive provides leadership for the ESS team, promoting our work to funders and stakeholders, working with other sector leaders, and helping shape developments in the sector and wider political environment.

What you’ll need to be successful
We would like to hear from compelling communicators with excellent team leadership skills and the ability to build and maintain stakeholder relationships.
Our ideal candidate will also be experienced in financial and strategic planning with the ability to identify opportunities for ESS to develop, thrive and continue to innovate in the years ahead.
