The Start Network is a consortium of 19 leading NGOs working together to strengthen the humanitarian aid system. This network extends to over 6000 partner organisations working in more than 200 countries and territories.
In order to meet the needs of crisis-affected people in a future of great uncertainty and complexity, we believe that the humanitarian sector must change. The Start Network members collaborate because the change that is demanded cannot be achieved by any single organisation acting alone. We promote a way of working that enables international and local humanitarian actors to coexist, in a system where the agencies best placed to respond to a crisis are empowered to do so. To realise this vision, we are working to catalyse a humanitarian sector that is more diverse, decentralised and collaborative.
We seek three Board members with:
  • the skills to run a business innovation at scale,
  • the understanding required for a global initiative, and
  • the diversity to ensure governance excellence
Of these three Board members, one will serve as the Chair, and one as the Treasurer.
Board members will be required to attend a minimum of eight Board meetings per year in London. This brief contains more information on this recruitment. Interested candidates should apply with a statement of interest and CV.
The closing date for applications is Monday 6 October 2014.
