Are you ready to influence national policy conversations and champion the future of governance?

The Chartered Governance Institute UK & Ireland (CGIUKI) – the leading qualifying and membership body for governance professionals – is looking for a strategic and forward-thinking Head of Policy to join our team.

With over 10,000 members and students across the UK, Ireland and Associated Territories, and as part of a global network in 80 countries, we are at the forefront of shaping governance practices that drive organisational performance, resilience and long-term value.

In this pivotal role, you will:

• Lead high-profile policy initiatives and regulatory responses.
• Represent the Institute at senior levels across government, regulators, and industry.
• Manage the Company Secretaries Forum and other key advisory groups.
• Guide and develop a talented team while collaborating across research, education, events and external affairs.

You’ll combine strong stakeholder engagement with the ability to work closely with subject matter experts, and you’ll be confident acting as a visible ambassador for the Institute.

This is an exciting time to join CGIUKI as governance gains increasing recognition as a cornerstone of organisational success.
