Chief Executive AMRC

AMRC is looking for an exceptional individual to lead the organisation in championing the vital role of medical research charities in the UK. We represent 126 member charities and are a recognised quality mark of standards across the sector.

Our current Strategic Plan focuses on leadership, influence and support to the sector. We have also built a reputation for taking an innovative approach to guiding charities on matters as diverse as animal research and public involvement.

The role of the Chief Executive will be to develop strategies and plans that build on this success at a crucial time for the sector due to continuing economic uncertainty and political change. Its very nature requires presence, diplomacy and drive to ensure that the needs of charities as research funders are well-supported and that the sector remains a credible voice in public and political debate on medical research policy issues.

A hands-on role, leading a small but highly professional and productive team, you will be expected to quickly command the trust and confidence of our members and partners.

The successful candidate will have a strong track record in influencing at a senior level. They will demonstrate good knowledge and experience of one or more of the sectors important to AMRC. They will be an excellent communicator, with an ability to build productive relationships across several sectors, with strong intellectual capacity and strategic thinking.
