Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

Harris Hill is delighted to be working The Bridge Group to recruit its new Chief Executive Officer. The Bridge Group is a non-profit consultancy that uses research to promote social equality by supporting organisations of all kinds with independent expertise, research and practical know-how to enable them to make a real and lasting impact on socio-economic diversity and social equality.

The Bridge Group has been making change happen for a decade. However, there is still much to do, and trustees and the team have great ambitions for the charity's next chapter.

You will work alongside a fantastic core team of nine, highly skilled and dedicated staff, and a wider network of Associate Researchers and Fellows. The charity also benefits from an engaged, expert and energetic Board of trustees who are from a diverse range of industries and backgrounds. Expansion of both the staff-base and the Board is planned over the coming year, and the CEO will lead us in realising this ambition.

The role is an opportunity to lead the growth of an established charity with a national reputation, at a vital moment in its development. The postholder will demonstrate leadership, initiative and inclusivity - to put into action their passion for improving social equality across the UK.

This is your chance to craft the next chapter for the Bridge Group.
