CEO

The Cambridge Science Centre (CSC) has a hugely exciting vision which is "a future where all young people can enjoy, explore and shape a better world through STEM".

This is a pivotal time for CSC, having recently opened a new immersive hands-on science centre on the Cambridge Science Park which is expected to attract around 50,000 visitors per annum. It is ideally located to build on the unrivalled scientific heritage of Cambridge and is enriched by the vibrant technology and life science industries on its doorstep.

It has a range of outreach programmes across the East of England region, which includes some of the most deprived areas of the country in terms of education, skills and training. Over the coming years, it aims to continue growing its impact and influence throughout the region.

A new CEO is sought to take over from the current incumbent. Working with a highly engaged board and a deeply committed team, the appointee has the opportunity to continue the trajectory of the organisation and increase and deepen its impact.

CSC receives less structural funding than some of its counterparts in the country and delivers through partnerships and a nimble, entrepreneurial mindset. The new CEO will represent the charity and promote its vision, mission, values and work to key stakeholders, partners and the wider general public. They will also be responsible for identifying opportunities for growth, business development and diversification to ensure the long term financial sustainability of the organisation. They will also provide the public face for campaigns and build deep relationships with stakeholders in business, politics and the media, and work closely with the Senior Leadership team in motivating and engaging volunteers, beneficiaries and prospective donors.
