Job description

In a world of growing international tension, unpredictable conflict, economic uncertainty and breathlessly fast technological change, any leadership role can be daunting. At Windsor Leadership Trust, we believe complex challenges demand exceptional leadership rooted in responsibility to our wider society. Our mission is to inspire, challenge and liberate the leaders of today and tomorrow to transform themselves, their organisations and society for the better.

As a leadership development charity, we deliver experiential leadership programmes to leaders across all sectors of society, at different stages of their leadership journey. Some of our alumni who are now counted amongst the most senior leaders in the country, first participated in Windsor Leadership programmes as emerging leaders years ago.

We provide a safe, confidential environment for participants to reflect, challenge and develop their own leadership styles. We create a peer-to-peer group learning environment facilitated by experienced chairs and facilitators who follow a set of principles known as The Windsor Way. In our own behaviours, we aspire to be exceptional, respectful, inclusive, authentic and empowering.

2025 marks the 30 th Anniversary of our founding and, in this milestone year for Windsor Leadership, we are seeking to appoint our next CEO who will succeed Jonathan Story and guide the Trust through the next phase of sensitive growth and development.

This is a unique role requiring outstanding leadership, interpersonal and influencing skills, along with the ability to manage and motivate a compact team. You will be confident in engaging at the highest levels of public and business life as well as with novice leaders. Wherever you are now, you will bring a deep appreciation for the Trust's work and a commitment to the ethos of the Windsor Way.

This is a brilliant time to join us, as together we explore a broad range of options for the future of Windsor Leadership. If you believe you have the background, skills and qualities we're looking for, we very much look forward to hearing from you.
