The Role
We are seeking to appoint an Independent Non-Executive Director (INED) whose primary role is to bring objectivity to Board discussions. The Board oversees the development of the two leagues and the execution of the strategy to create a sustainable and world leading club competition for professional and semi-professional players.
You will have a passion for women's sport/football and the value it can bring to society. You will have experience of influencing at a senior executive level but preferably at Board level. A track record of demonstrable experience in one or more of the following sectors is essential:
- Commercial
- Marketing and communications
- High performance sport
You will bring an independent perspective to enhance decision making, always ensuring that the Board acts with integrity. You will ensure that all the different stakeholder interests are considered and will have highly developed interpersonal and communication skills. You will also enjoy being an ambassador for the women's game and the leagues and support them as they continue to grow.
Time Commitment
The Board reports directly to the main FA Board and meets approximately 6 times a year in London, plus you will be expected to attend fixtures and events.
Term
INEDs can serve for a maximum of 3 terms of 3 years.
Definition of Independence
Candidates must be free from any close connection to The FA (such as being actively involved in The FA's affairs or having been an employee in the previous four years).
