Chief Executive Officer Yachting New Zealand
A national leadership role
The Board of Yachting New Zealand is to appoint a new Chief Executive Officer to be the face of the New Zealand yachting community. While there is a strong emphasis on national participation, development and high performance, the organisation also provides the primary voice in the maritime recreational sector.
Working with a small and effective management team the task demands a thoroughly competent and experienced executive who has the full range of Chief Executive skills, is a strong communicator and has the capability to deal with every aspect of a diverse community acting as both advocate and focal point.
Yachting New Zealand is in an excellent position in terms of finance, strategy, organisational capability and international competitiveness. This role requires someone who can enhance that position, leading it to a new level of involvement and recognition. Key outcomes include delivering high performance results at international regattas (including the Olympics) and managing widespread stakeholder relationships for the growth and development of the sport, delivering innovation and funding for future programmes.
Candidates will display a significant and successful record in a corporate or sports organisation and must demonstrate empathy for the maritime environment.
If you have the skills and experience to make a significant contribution through this role please send details of your background, experience and qualifications to the search consultants advising the Board, at John Peebles Associates cv@jpasearch.com
