Are you ready to take on a pivotal leadership role in the heart of Welsh democracy? The Senedd Cymru/Welsh Parliament is at the heart of democracy and politics in Wales, aiming to be an effective parliamentary body that inspires the confidence of the people of Wales. We are seeking a Director of Senedd Business to lead and enhance our parliamentary business functions during a period of significant change and transition. With the Senedd expanding from 60 to 96 Members following the 2026 elections, this role offers a unique opportunity to provide transformational leadership and ensure the current and future needs of the Senedd are met.
This significant change will alter how the Senedd operates its formal business and will impact the demands faced by the Senedd Business Directorate in the coming years. Leading this directorate and reporting to the Chief Executive and Clerk of the Senedd, this role is pivotal in leading up to the Seventh Senedd and beyond.
We are looking for a candidate who can provide the leadership required to continue enhancing our parliamentary business functions through this period of change. Working with the Llywydd/Presiding Officer, Senedd Commissioners, Committee Chairs, and other senior political stakeholders, including the First Minister, Party Leaders, and Government Ministers, you will act as an expert in parliamentary procedure and practice, providing constitutional and procedural advice.
You will also be the Executive Board member responsible for delivering outstanding parliamentary and Member-facing support to the Senedd, its committees, and individual members. We seek a strategic thinker experienced in promoting inclusive work cultures and operating within complex, fast-paced decision-making structures. You will inspire expert, multi-disciplinary teams to perform effectively and provide exceptional parliamentary support in an enlarged Senedd. If you wish to share your expertise and make a difference at this pivotal time, we would love to hear from you.
