If you've led or been close to this kind of work and you're ready to own it for a fixed, focused period, we'd still really like to hear from you. What we need from you: £52,000 FTE, pro-rated for part-time hours (i.e. c£31,200 for the 3 days per week) day rate could be potentially considered A fixed-term interim contract of roughly seven months, from end June to end January 2027 Part-time, with just one day a week in the office (Monday) in central Leeds and the rest worked flexibly from home A capable, committed team and an executive group that genuinely values close partnership Next Steps please apply or get in touch asap as we would like someone who can start before the end of June
