Competitive salary
We are seeking a new Secretary General who can help us build on our unique heritage and shape and define our international presence in this new era.

The appointment has significant reach and requires a well-respected, influential values-led leader.

With direct experience of fostering trust and high value alliances, you will understand the workings of governments, international trusts and foundations and other partners and will be adept at adjusting to different cultural settings.
