THE ADVERT
A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen to take leadership of the National Pig Association as its Chief Executive Officer at what could not be a more critical time for the pig industry.
We are looking for an experienced and passionate leader to assist the NPA Board in shaping and delivering the future role of the NPA in an ever-changing landscape and confidently represent British pig producers in Westminster and with processors, foodservice and retailers, and to the media.
The role will put the successful candidate at the heart of fast-moving representational politics at a time of unprecedented change for this iconic sector.
You will be responsible for leading and supporting a small but highly effective team known across the livestock industry for its ability to punch well above its weight and to go ‘above and beyond’ in support of its members.
You will be responsible for oversight of the business and developing a future strategy for NPA. You will also have a good reputation for effective influencing and developing relevant connections with civil servants, MPs, Peers and other organisations.
You will put your own stamp on the job and make a difference. It will be challenging but highly rewarding. You will be able to think innovatively about how to communicate the role of the UK pig industry in an efficient and effective manner.
Knowledge of the UK pig industry is essential, but we are also looking for an enthusiastic and organised individual, with strong communication skills and an ability to grasp new policy areas quickly. Experience of working with MPs, lobbying or within Parliament would be desirable.
The role will come with a number of benefits including flexible working, the option to be home based, company pension, car loan scheme and generous holiday entitlement. The salary offered will depend on experience.
To apply, please email your CV and covering letter explaining why you would be suitable for the role and your salary expectation to: andrea.tranter@npanet.org.uk
Closing date: 5pm, Thursday, July 14, 2022
