Vacancy: Chief Executive Officer


We have an exciting opportunity for someone to lead Wales Rugby League. 

The next CEO will have an opportunity to build on our achievements as an organisation; capitalise on the foundations for success already established; navigate us through a fast-changing socio-political climate; and will drive the organisation forward as a high-performing national governing body.

Our strategy is currently under review and we have recently restructured the Board of Directors to continue to progress in three key areas, each with a specific sub-committee.  These are: Governance, Commercial, and Performance.

This realignment presents an extremely exciting time to join as CEO. The successful candidate will lead on the deployment of the strategic plan, designed to bring value to a range of stakeholders.

Time Commitment: Working hours are flexible in line with the requirements of the role.

Location: Remote working or at venues of the game.

Remuneration: Highly incentivised with commission based on incoming revenue. Expenses will be covered.

How to apply: If you are interested in this role, please submit your CV and cover letter to recruitment@walesrugbyleague.co.uk

If you would like to have an informal discussion about the role, please contact James Davies, Wales Rugby League Chairman – james.davies@walesrugbyleague.co.uk

Closing date: Friday 26 January (5pm)
