Chief Executive Officer
Milano
Lombardia, Milano

Open For Business is a coalition of leading global companies dedicated to LGBTQ+ inclusion.

Our task is to present the business rationale for global LGBTQ+ inclusion: successful, enterprising businesses thrive in diverse, inclusive societies and the spread of anti-LGBTQ+ policies runs counter to the interests of business and economic growth.

Open For Business seeks to leverage the influence of the private sector to advance LGBTQ+ rights.

As an impact-focused organisation, it has three programmatic strands.

First, the Research Programme presents ground-breaking analysis of the economic case for LGBTQ+ inclusion; second, the Global Influencer Programme raises awareness on high-profile global platforms; third, the Local Influencer Programme builds strong networks of local senior business leaders to advance inclusion in their societies - with teams working in the Caribbean, Central & Eastern Europe and East Africa, and currently rolling out in South East Asia.

Launched in September 2015, Open For Business has demonstrated it can have a real impact and play a unique role in helping to improve the lives of LGBTQ+ people around the world.

We have a proven model, and we need to scale it.

To do this, Open For Business is looking to recruit a Chief Executive Officer.

We are looking for a leader who can grow the organisation, shape its future and amplify its impact.

You will provide visionary and strategic leadership that accelerates the impact of Open For Business and engage with a wide range of partners globally.

This role offers a unique opportunity for an entrepreneurial leader with ambition, senior executive experience and an ability to engage effectively across sectors and cultures.

You will bring:

- A high level of commercial acumen and a successful track record of leading and managing organisational finances with an entrepreneurial mindset.

- An inclusive and collaborative leadership style with the ability to inspire and manage staff.

- Evidence of operating effectively across all sectors, developing new partnerships and strengthening existing ones.

- An instinct for advocacy and a proven ability to mobilise impact.

- A clear commitment to advancing LGBTQ+ inclusion and an understanding of the varied issues and challenges facing LGBTQ+ people globally.

To apply, please submit a CV and covering letter, detailing how you fulfil the role description and personal specification quoting reference **6024**.

The salary for this role is £120, 000.
