Chief Executive Officer
London, EC2M
English Heritage are seeking an outstanding Chief Executive Officer to lead the charity, which cares for over a million objects and hundreds of historic sites in every part of England. We care for the bridges and bronzes, gardens and gargoyles, stone circles and secret bunkers and everything in between. We are the only charity in the world which looks after a National Collection from our own earned income.
Our mission focuses on creating inspiring visitor experiences, preserving historic sites and collections for future generations and connecting people to places.
We have a world–class portfolio of heritage assets, diversified funding and a successful operating model and are supported by our hardworking employees, the generosity of our volunteers, a loyal membership of 1.2 million people, as well as donors and supporters.
The Board of Trustees, chaired by Tony Hales CBE, is seeking candidates for the role of Chief Executive Officer to join English Heritage and lead the organisation into its next chapter.
You will work with the Board and senior leadership team to ensure English Heritage delivers on its charitable objectives, including conservation, public benefit and financial security.
You will bring a strong track record of leading large, complex organisations operating across multiple sites and engaging diverse stakeholders. You will be able to demonstrate how you develop incisive strategies and then translate them into successful delivery. A collaborative team player, you lead with integrity and inclusivity, balancing the sensitivity required for managing conservation sites with the drive needed to attract income. An understanding of the value volunteers bring would be advantageous.
If you think you have the vision, skills and experience to take on such a fantastic opportunity, we'd love to hear from you. Please select the Apply button shown to be taken to our website, where you can submit your application.
