Location: Central London (Farringdon), with international travel
Contract Type: Full-time
Salary: Competitive with benefits
Lead the future of Governance
The Chartered Governance Institute UK & Ireland (CGIUKI) – the largest division of the global Chartered Governance Institute – is seeking a visionary and inspiring Chief Executive Officer to take us into our next chapter. This is not just a leadership role; it’s a rare opportunity to shape the future of governance, influence change on a global scale, and lead an organisation with a 130-year legacy of impact and excellence.
With our current CEO retiring after a successful tenure, we are looking for a forward-thinking, strategic leader to build on our strong foundations and steer the organisation into a future defined by innovation, influence, and sustainable growth.
About Us
CGIUKI is part of the global Chartered Governance Institute, the international qualifying and membership body for governance professionals. We are proud of our Royal Charter, which underpins our commitment to high standards in governance across commerce, industry, and public affairs.
With a worldwide presence of around 40,000 members and students in 80 countries, and nine divisions including UK and Ireland, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong/China, and Southern Africa, we are a respected voice in the governance landscape. CGIUKI supports members and students not only in the UK and Ireland, but also in the Crown Dependencies, Caribbean, parts of Africa, the Middle East, and beyond.
We offer world-class qualifications, training, thought leadership, and advocacy – all in pursuit of our belief that better governance leads to better decision-making, and better decision-making creates a better world.
The role
As CEO, you will lead a passionate and talented team of around 63 people, supported by an engaged Board. Your leadership will be pivotal in:
* Shaping and delivering CGIUKI’s strategy in a dynamic environment.
* Promoting the value and credibility of our members and qualifications.
* Raising our profile and influence with policymakers, regulators, and stakeholders across sectors.
* Expanding our reach and impact, growing membership and enhancing our thought leadership.
* Championing good governance, both within the organisation and externally, across sectors.
This role will demand international engagement, including regular travel to attend Global Council meetings and connect with partners and potential markets worldwide.
What We’re Looking For
We are seeking a transformational leader with the stature, energy, and expertise to build on our legacy and inspire future growth.
You will bring:
* Proven senior leadership experience in a complex, multi-stakeholder organisation.
* A track record of influencing policy, building external partnerships, and acting as a public ambassador.
* Strategic insight with a strong grasp of corporate governance and a passion for its role in driving sustainable success.
* Experience of financial and operational oversight, including managing complex budgets and ensuring regulatory compliance.
* A collaborative and motivational leadership style with a commitment to equality, diversity, inclusion, and ethical governance.
* A keen understanding of the digital landscape and emerging technologies to future-proof the organisation.
* Experience of driving revenue, expanding services, or growing membership/customer bases in competitive or evolving markets, balancing strong commercial results and purpose.
Why join CGIUKI?
This is your chance to lead an organisation where purpose and impact are at the heart of everything we do. You will work alongside an exceptional team, a committed Board, and a global network of professionals who believe in the power of good governance to create lasting positive change.
As CEO of CGIUKI, you won’t just manage an organisation — you will influence a profession, inspire a community, and shape a legacy that will benefit future generations of governance professionals.
