CEO

Architects Benevolent Society (ABS) is at a pivotal time in our history where awareness of our support and beneficiary needs have grown at an unprecedented rate, requiring a fundamental change in how we meet our charitable objectives. We now seek an experienced and confident CEO to lead and drive the significant changes required to achieve our strategic goals. 

We are a charity dedicated to supporting past and present members of the architectural community and their families from the beginning of their careers to those who are now in retirement.  ABS helps people who are experiencing challenges and we provide a range of services including confidential advice, mental health and wellbeing support, welfare benefits advice and financial assistance.  ABS aims to empower people in the architectural community to flourish and live full and rewarding lives whilst following their passion for architecture and design.

We would be delighted to hear from candidates with prior experience of leading an organisation at a senior level, with an entrepreneurial approach and commercial acumen.  You should be able to demonstrate strong analytical and strategic skills, alongside experience in leading organisational change.  A flair for building strategic partnerships and networks  is essential.

Closing date for receipt of completed applications 9.00a.m on 4 September. 

Preliminary interviews to be held 9-11 September.   Final panel interviews on 4  October.
