Experience operating at Executive / Operating Board level

A values-led leadership style with the ability to coach, inspire and build high-performing teams

Location & Commitment

Based in Harrogate (North Yorkshire)

Expected to be on site circa 4 days per week

Interim assignment (c. 12 months anticipated as part of ongoing organisational evolution)

Join us

This is a rare opportunity to:

Lead operations across two highly regarded brands

Work at the heart of a purpose-driven, independent business
