Association for Project Management

Trustee

The award-winning Association for Project Management (APM) is the chartered body for the project profession.  APM is a charity with over 27,000 individual members and 600 organisations members, making it the largest professional body of its kind in Europe.  The charity is committed to developing and promoting a professional approach to project management through its brand offering of professional membership, qualifications, publications, resources, research and events.

The charity is now seeking to appoint a high calibre trustee from outside the project profession, to join APM’s dynamic and engaged Board at an exciting time of huge potential for the profession.  The successful trustee will need to demonstrate the following:

  • Ability to apply the principles and practice of corporate governance and an understanding of the role of non-executive directors
  • Experience of working as part of a Board is essential
  • A strong and visible passion and commitment to the charity and its strategic objectives and cause
  • Experience at a senior level of evaluating information and making justifiable decisions to set the strategy for the organisation
  • Experience of working collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders to develop and deliver the organisation’s vision and mission
  • Strong networking capability
  • Knowledge and understanding of charities and membership organisations is not essential but would be desirable

This role is unremunerated although reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.  There are six Board meetings per year and a minimum commitment of 10 days per annum would be required.

If you are a strategic thinker and team player, would like the prospect of a rewarding role and feel you can bring fresh excitement and passion to the future vision of the charity, please email your CV and supporting statement to Jenny Warner, Managing Director, Charisma Recruitment Ltd quoting our reference JO1638.

Closing date for applications – 23 May 2019
Interview date – early/mid-June 2019

“Now I have been in my new post for a week, I feel I must write to you to commend you on both the recruitment process I have just undergone and the personal support I have received. I could not have expected a better experience of a recruitment process - and even had I not been appointed I would have written in the same vein. I can understand why Charisma was recommended to me by a friend and I will certainly do the same in the future.”
