You will need to engage the respect, trust and confidence of MPs, ministers and broader stakeholders and have a strong connection with the party.
The CEO will have political acumen and astute judgement, able to navigate the delicate balance between a critical friend and trusted partner to government. You will have a track record of successful leadership in a diverse and multi-stakeholder environment, with strong intellectual capacity, diplomatic skills and political nous.
