Tree Aid

Chief Executive, Bristol, c.£55k

In Africa Trees Mean Life

Our vision is to see thriving, self reliant communities in Africa’s rural drylands. Our mission is to alleviate poverty sustainably, while improving the environment.

We do this by empowering poor families, and especially women, to unlock the potential from trees to meet their basic needs and generate income, and by raising awareness of the power of trees to transform lives.

Following a period of steady growth and an internal restructure, we are now seeking a new Chief Executive to provide overall direction to the organisation, lead the development and execution of the next phase of our growth strategy, and manage our team based in Bristol and in West Africa.

To be successful in this role, you will have experience of strategy formulation and implementation and exceptional political and stakeholder skills with the ability to influence key government organisations, both nationally and internationally, and supporters.

You will have a strong understanding of governance, and experience of working with a Chair and Board of Trustees or Non Executive Directors. You will have the ability and drive to build and maintain effective partnerships on an international scale, increasing the impact and reputation of the organisation.

Above all else, to lead Tree Aid and help us to combat economic and climate vulnerability in Africa’s rural drylands, we are seeking an individual who has an understanding of and genuine commitment to poverty alleviation in an international context.
