Executive Director

This is a unique leadership opportunity to take on the most senior executive position within a well-established, internationally oriented business network that plays a vital role in connecting industry leaders, government stakeholders, and trade partners. As Executive Director, you will be accountable for steering the organization's strategy, deepening its impact, and ensuring that it continues to evolve and deliver meaningful value to its growing and diverse membership base.

You will work closely with an engaged and supportive Board, act as the organization's primary spokesperson, and lead stakeholder engagement across senior levels of business and government. From representing the voice of members on key bilateral trade matters to developing high-profile thought leadership events, the Executive Director is both the figurehead and the engine behind the organization's success.

Central to the role is the leadership and development of a small, committed team covering key functions such as membership engagement, events and marketing, trade services, operations, and finance. You will be expected to inspire and manage this team to deliver consistently high standards of service, build team capability, and align their efforts with the organization's broader strategic objectives. Creating a collaborative and high performance culture will be critical.

This role also requires a commercially astute leader with a strong marketing and partnership mindset. You will be responsible for developing and executing strategies to grow the organization's revenue through member acquisition and retention, the development of compelling sponsorship opportunities, and the delivery of programs and services that drive engagement. You should be confident in evaluating market opportunities, crafting value propositions, and building long-term commercial partnerships.
