We are seeking to appoint three new Board Members, each bringing a distinct and crucial area of expertise to support our strategic ambitions.
1. Community Power, Agency, and Control
We are looking for an experienced and recognised thought-leader who can support us to deliver our ambitions around increasing power, agency and control within communities, ensuring that the lived experiences, priorities, and aspirations of communities are truly embedded in our strategy and decision-making.
2. Digital and Emerging Technologies
We are seeking a recognised national or international digital and technology leader. This individual will be instrumental in supporting and challenging our strategic digital and technological goals, which include re-designing our operations through the use of automation and AI to better serve communities. Furthermore, this role involves enabling the Fund to deliver a first-class user experience, provide thought leadership, and exert influence regarding the broader application of new technologies for the benefit of community and public good. In an increasingly hostile external environment, we are also seeking insight on how the Fund can adequately protect its data, systems and information assets from the threat of cyber risk.
3. Brand, Reputation, and Influence
We are looking for someone with a demonstrable track record of policy influence or stewardship nationally or internationally who can provide challenge and support in our strategy ‘It Starts with Community’.
Working as part of a dynamic and energetic Board this individual will take a lead role on:
-
Championing community perspectives – particularly those from underrepresented communities experiencing disadvantage, deprivation and discrimination – ensuring they are heard and influence decisions at Board level.
-
Bringing a deep knowledge of how strategic aspirations to devolve power and increase agency and control within communities can be effectively translated into sustainable practice through system level interventions, frameworks and strategic tools.
