About the role

Driving sustainable growth and sector impact

We’re looking for an ambitious and values-driven commercial leader to shape the future sustainability and growth of our mission-led organisation.

As Chief Commercial Officer, you’ll lead the commercial strategy at the heart of the organisation – driving income growth, strengthening membership engagement, and building high-value partnerships that amplify our influence and impact across the voluntary sector.

As a member of the Executive Team, you’ll translate organisational priorities into a clear and ambitious commercial vision, ensuring financial resilience while delivering genuine value for members, partners and stakeholders.

Why this role matters

  • build influential partnerships that extend reach, reputation and impact
  • lead innovation across commercial services, products and customer experience
  • contribute at the highest level of organisational leadership and strategy.

This is a role for a commercially astute, strategic and collaborative leader who thrives at the intersection of income growth, partnership development and mission-driven impact.
