Welcome

As Chair of BAFTA I have the pleasure of working alongside an amazing organisation full of talented, inspiring, diverse people – and I am delighted you are interested in joining us. BAFTA is a leading global charitable institution, focused on championing creativity, opportunity and social change for all – through the transformative power of film, games and television.

We want to bring the right people together to do extraordinary things and resolve the challenges we face. It is an exciting time to join BAFTA. We have an ambitious strategy and vision for the coming years, identifying key areas of focus and funding across the organisation, and deciding how we best bring together the people and ideas we will need to succeed.

We have recently redeveloped our iconic headquarters at 195 Piccadilly, enabling us to: provide thousands more people with the necessary tools to pursue a career in film, games and television; expand our flagship learning and new talent initiatives such as BAFTA Young Games Designers and BAFTA Elevate; and further develop our global learning initiatives, including BAFTA Breakthrough. The building will be  a centre of creative excellence with a new dedicated learning space to enable an expansion of the arts charity’s learning and new talent development programmes.

We are creating new initiatives to address skills gaps in the industry and provide a regular public programme of events, deepening audience appreciation and knowledge of the craft of film, games and television.

We continue to deliver 120 wide-ranging changes to our voting, membership and campaigning processes following an in-depth, independently verified, seven-month Awards Review. The Review began as a direct response to the lack of diversity in the 2020 Film Awards nominations, but its remit soon expanded to encompass all aspects of BAFTA and its awards. The changes, which have been unanimously approved by the BAFTA Board of Trustees, signal the beginning of a significant cultural shift in BAFTA and they also challenge the industries we support to address the serious lack of opportunity and equality.

We need an experienced, dynamic leader with highly developed decision-making skills, someone who is open-minded, an excellent communicator and an accomplished relationship-builder to make the most of this unique opportunity as our Chief Executive Officer.  We very much look forward to meeting you.
