United Nations Association – UK
Chief Executive
c.£80,000 per year, negotiable depending on skills and experience.
London / Hybrid
United Nations Association – UK, or UNA-UK, is a charity that builds movements, provides expert insight, and designs campaigns dedicated to promoting human rights, peace and security, and UN reform. Our work links the local, the national, and the global and centres grassroots power at the heart of all we do.
As the first NGO in the UK, we are a small independent organisation with a big impact. Our mission is to build movements for systemic transformation at the UN and to advocate for UK action for global cooperation.
We now have an exciting opportunity for a new Chief Executive. Joining at a pivotal moment for the UN and world order, as well as for UNA-UK as an organisation, they will be supported by a high performing staff team, an engaged membership, and a strong board.
With significant influence with the UN and UK government, we require a visionary and hands-on Chief Executive who will provide inspirational leadership to our team as well as represent us externally on high level political platforms and nurture relationships with current and future funders.
Candidates should be passionate internationalists - politically-savvy but non-partisan, equally at ease at campaign rallies and in the corridors of power. Political understanding of the nature of the UN and the UK’s relationship to it is critical, together with a track record of generating and diversifying funding for your organisation.
You will bring exceptional strategic, people and leadership skills to run an organisation successfully, understand how to work effectively with a board of trustees and harness opportunities presented from our network of groups, individual members and supporters across the UK.
Previous chief executive experience is desirable but not essential.
