Description
The Department for Science, Innovation Science and Technology requires specialist executive search support to assist with the recruitment of the next Chair of the Advanced Research and Invention Agency. This is not a generic Chair search. ARIA occupies a distinctive place in the UK research and innovation system, pursuing high-risk, high-reward research with the potential to deliver transformational scientific, economic and societal impact. The Chair appointment requires a supplier able to understand ARIA’s operating model, independence, governance requirements, stakeholder landscape and the leadership capabilities needed to support the organisation as it moves from establishment into delivery at scale.
