The Behavioural Insights Team (BIT) is looking to appoint an Independent non-executive Chairperson to the Board. As we move forward with our 2020 Strategy we are looking for someone with strong and effective leadership ability to help underpin and support our plans for the next three years.
The Chair will work with the Chief Executive to help shape and execute the strategy by chairing effective board meetings and ensuring that meeting time is well used for discussions on the big decisions. BIT is now a global organisation and the Chair will help support and challenge the strategy and ensure that the right conversations take place at the Board and committee meetings. BIT has historically held around ten Board meetings per annum plus committee meetings (audit and remuneration committee meetings). BIT’s latest annual update will provide more background on our recent achievements.
The successful candidate will need to bring commercial focus as well as appreciate the nuances of public and evidenced based policy making. Crucially, they will have the ability to identify strategic needs of the organisation, challenge and scrutinise plans and drive and motivate others in their delivery.
