Post Office is determined to resolve past failures and fundamentally reform our culture, practices and operating procedures, and forge an open and transparent relationship with the thousands of Postmasters providing customers with vital services in the UK's communities. Post Office is committed to participating openly, constructively and efficiently with the Post Office Horizon Inquiry as it provides a vital line of sight on the remediating steps we need to take and the improvements we need to make.
The only retailer with a presence in each nation and every community across the UK, Post Office plays a unique role in national life. Through our network of Postmasters and commercial partners we connect people and businesses. We're at a pivotal point in our 370-year history as we look to redefine ourselves for a new generation - one where we are sustainable and profitable with our Postmasters and customers at the heart of everything we do. We are looking for a new Non-Executive Director to join us at a time of hugely ambitious change as we seek to reshape our services in the face of rapid and fundamental shifts in consumer and business behaviour.
We are looking for an experienced leader who brings a UK public sector background at C-suite or equivalent level with credible experience in delivering large scale and highly scrutinised customer-focused services. The business needs a high level of credibility to influence and make an impact at board level with a high level of resilience.
We are excited about the next chapter in the Post Office's development and we are looking for leaders that share our excitement about the steps in our journey.
We look forward to hearing from you.
