Thank you for your interest in the role as CEO for NPC. This role offers an exciting opportunity for the right person to lead NPC through its next phase of growth by building on the existing leadership role that NPC plays in the social sector.
NPC is a leading think tank and consultancy for the social sector. Our mission is to help charities, foundations, philanthropists, impact investors, social enterprises, businesses, and the public sector to maximise social impact in the lives of the people they serve.
This is not new. NPC has been helping the charity sector, philanthropists and businesses to maximise social impact in the lives of the people they serve for over 20 years. Through our think tank and consultancy work, we continue to provide a challenging and independent voice that inspires bold initiatives and much needed innovation in the social sector.
We help charities, philanthropists, businesses and funders to move from ‘in principle’ to ‘in practice’. We develop and encourage the take up of new ideas and strategic leadership to help the social sector overcome the everchanging challenges they and their beneficiaries face. Over the last twenty years NPC has built deep expertise in what it takes to support and improve the impact for organisations and individuals.
“NPC is a thought leader, yet at the same time focused on the practical side of the work, providing solid, hands-on guidance and support”.
– Annual survey response
We are now looking for an exceptional leader who can build on the work of Dan Corry who is stepping down as CEO at the end of October. We are looking for evolution not revolution and someone who can demonstrate the following:
- A proven ability to inspire and motivate a professional team of purpose driven staff
- An understanding of what it takes to optimise the twin focus of consultancy and think tank work
- A passion for improving impact across sectors
- Credibility and an ability to convene senior leaders from the charity, private and public sectors
- Drive and commerciality to explore new sectors and opportunities to complement NPC’s existing work and increase financial sustainability
- Confidence and courage to drive innovation and speak ‘truth to power’
In return NPC offers a unique opportunity to lead a well-established and highly respected organisation that spans the entire social sector combined with the ambitions to expand its impact to a broader group of organisations or individuals who are committed to improving societal impact. You will have the opportunity to work with some of the leading organisations in the social sector, with a highly professional and purpose driven staff group and a cohesive, diverse and committed Trustee group.
If this opportunity excites and inspires you, we would love to hear from you.
