About the role

Resource Futures is looking for a new Non-Executive Director (NED) to join its Board of Directors. The current Board comprises of Jane Stephenson (NED Chair), Sam Reeve (CEO), Bethan Jones and David Lerpiniere, (Executive Directors) and Gev Eduljee and Phil Cumming (NEDs). Phil is due to step down from the Board in November 2021 having served for six years. Details here.

We are looking for someone who can bring external insight from the commercial world in the field of sustainable resource management, challenge the Executive team and support the Board to achieve its vision and business strategy.

This is a fantastic opportunity to boost your credibility and reputation and to broaden your network within the waste and resources sector. In joining our Board as our newest NED, you'll be adding value to a company that prioritises people and planet; driven to do business fairly and have a positive impact while committing to high standards.
