This is a rare opportunity to join the client as its next Commercial & Estates Director, a pivotal leadership role at the intersection of commercial enterprise, property stewardship, and organisational purpose. Reporting to the Deputy Recording Clerk (Strategy & Effectiveness) and serving as a member of the Senior Leadership Team, the successful candidate will lead a diverse portfolio of commercial, operational, and estates functions that generate vital income and support the long-term sustainability of the organisation. The role oversees a combined budget of approximately 10 million and leads four senior direct reports responsible for operations, events, estates and facilities, and hospitality at a historic site.
The Commercial & Estates Director will be responsible for overseeing commercial activities delivered through a wholly owned trading subsidiary, which includes managing a leading conference and events venue in London and a historic property in Cumbria. These operations generate significant annual revenue, providing important contributions to the wider mission of the client. The postholder will also serve as the Senior Leadership Team's principal liaison to the Commercial Board, working closely with Charity Trustees and external commercial experts to ensure effective governance and strategic direction.
The ideal candidate will join a collaborative, values-led organisation of around 180 staff working across multiple locations. While applicants do not need to be members of any particular community, they should be inspired by the opportunity to combine commercial leadership with a strong sense of purpose, underpinned by values such as integrity, sustainability, equality, and respect for others. The client offers a competitive salary, a generous pension scheme, flexible working arrangements, and excellent leave provisions, providing the opportunity to play a significant role in shaping the future of an organisation with a longstanding commitment to positive social change.
