Chief Executive Officer Charity Tax Group

Shape the future of charity tax as CTG’s first CEO, leading, influencing and representing charities on tax at the highest level.

• Location: Remote with regular travel

The Charity Tax Group (CTG) is the only organisation dedicated to representing charities on tax issues. For over 40 years, we have influenced policy, secured major tax reliefs and saved the charity sector more than £10bn.

We have recently become an independent charity and are recruiting our first Chief Executive to provide leadership, raise our profile and secure long-term sustainability. There is no handbook for what this role should be, and this will be an exciting opportunity to drive strategy, build influence with government and ensure CTG remains the trusted voice of charity tax.

If you are a collaborative, strategic leader with strong communication skills and a passion for supporting the charity sector, we want to hear from you.

Who we are

CTG is the leading voice on charity tax, engaging with government, HMRC and the wider voluntary sector. Since our creation in the 1980s, we have delivered major wins for charities, including VAT reliefs, the introduction of Gift Aid and significant policy influence.

We combine technical expertise with advocacy and education to help charities navigate complex tax challenges.

About the role

As CEO, you will:

• Act as a credible spokesperson for CTG with government, HMRC, charities and the media
• Work with our Technical Advisor to sustain CTG’s authority and expertise
• Lead on fundraising and income diversification to ensure financial sustainability
• Help establish a vision and operational plan for the future of CTG

Who we are looking for

We are seeking an agile, outward-facing leader who can represent CTG at the highest level.

• Excellent communication, emotional intelligence and influencing skills
• Strong stakeholder and relationship-building ability
• Knowledge of charity tax, or the ability to learn and communicate complex detail quickly
• Fundraising or income generation experience
• Flexibility and motivation to make a difference

We are open to recruiting a leader who might be working towards some of the skills we are seeking, and have an excellent board of Trustees, and a strong technical advisor who can support any new CEO to develop.

We can provide exceptional levels of flexibility to the successful candidate, with most of the role being able to be fulfilled remotely; however, there will be instances where we also require flexibility, such as when we need to provide time-sensitive responses to the media.

If you are interested in this role, we encourage you to get in touch with Bill Yuksel at Peridot Partners for a conversation.

For further information about the role or to arrange a confidential discussion, please contact our advising consultant at Peridot Partners. We are working with Peridot Partners to ensure a fair application process and to reach a broad candidate pool. We value all experiences and backgrounds and encourage you to apply even if you don’t have all essential items on the person specification.
