JOB ADVERT - Chief Executive Officer

JOB ADVERT - Chief Executive OfficerFC United are looking for a high quality professional with the right experience, expertise and drive who can step into an immediate vacancy for a Chief Executive Officer. This is only our second season at Broadhurst Park and we are seeking someone with a proven track record in facility management who is able to develop and manage a first class operation on both match and non-match days. The successful candidate will also need to demonstrate strong commercial acumen, maximising revenue through advertising, sponsorship and use of the facility. At the same time we intend to set them an additional challenge, to achieve this whilst also maintaining one of our key founding principles, that we will strive wherever possible to avoid outright commercialism.

Whilst FC United has rightly enjoyed a high profile within football circles, this role will require the postholder to focus their energy and activities very much on the efficient running of the stadium and the football club. We are looking for someone with strong leadership qualities but who is also able to delegate effectively and lead a varied management team encompassing the football, commercial, financial and community aspects of the operation. For many of our supporters, FC United is more than a football club but we need to thrive and establish our place in the community. Make no mistake, this is a significant challenge but one which the right person will be able to grasp with both hands.

Please note the deadline for applications has been extended to Friday 19th August at 5.00pm. Candidates shortlisted for interview will be notified at the beginning of w/c 22nd August, with interviews scheduled to take place on Friday 26th August.
