London & Partners
London
Unremunerated
Hackney

London & Partners is the business and destination agency for London – it is our mission to create economic growth that is resilient, sustainable and inclusive. Our work shines a global spotlight on London; we support the Mayor of London’s priorities by promoting London internationally as a leading world city. We help international businesses set up in London, support small and micro London business to thrive, help London-based businesses expand globally and bring leisure tourism and major events to the city. London & Partners has just been through a significant and exciting period of growth which has included the launches of Grow London (high-growth sectors), Grow London Local (small business support) and Opportunity London (capital investment); and the integration of MedCity (life sciences).

THE ROLE

As a result of the increase in breadth and depth of the organisation and several non- executive Directors reaching the end of their terms, the Board has taken the opportunity to reassess the skills and experience required from their Non-Executive Directors. We are now seeking two engaged and committed individuals to join the Board and, in line
with our recent growth, we are looking for candidates who can provide experience against one or more of the following sectors:

  • Sponsorships, partnerships and B2B/ client relationships – an individual who can provide expert challenge and support on product development, business development and account management.
  • Small business, entrepreneurship, and inclusion – an individual with expertise and networks in the small business ecosystem to provide support and challenge on our work that supports small businesses in the everyday economy to thrive.

As a social enterprise, the Non-Executive Directors play a key role in London & Partner’s governance, providing advice to the Executive team but also holding them to account for delivery against their mission, values and legal obligations. You will be ambitious for our growth and impact, bring strategic thinking skills, sound judgement and unimpeachable integrity, with the ability to see the bigger picture and to communicate that to others.

We also want to ensure any appointee is committed to promoting diversity, in its broadest possible sense.

If you would like to be at the heart of London’s growth and vitality, and believe you have the skills and qualities we are looking for, we would be very pleased to hear from you.
