Cambridge United Football Club is seeking to appoint a Chief Executive Officer...
Cambridge United play in League One of the English Football League having gained promotion from League Two in 2021. The Club is owned by three individuals who provide consistent financial support, has a highly respected board of Directors and has an established front office and football management team.
The current CEO took on the role on an interim basis in July 2019, initially for a year. Due to the pandemic he agreed to say longer, the aim is now that he steps down by the end of the 2021/22 season. Ideally, the successor would have a handover period before the end of the current season which is due to end on 30th April 2022.
We are seeking an experienced CEO with exceptional ability to manage the day-to-day operations of our Club. The successful candidate must be ready to build and model a great company culture, provide inspired leadership to our Management team, establish a great working relationship with the Board of Directors and Owners, and set a course for the Club strategy.
