I am excited to be advertising the fantastic role of Chief Executive for UK Hydrographic Office, an Executive Agency and Trading Fund of the Ministry of Defence. You will see this is a unique role, leading an organisation that is a world-leading centre for hydrography, specialising in maritime geospatial data serving Defence and the wider shipping industry. UKHO’s navigation solutions are relied upon to safeguard national security, ensure safe navigation and are trusted by mariners in the global shipping industry.
The organisation’s challenge is to continue to adapt and develop to meet Defence and the sector demand, and respond to the increasing opportunities from technology. Assured data and information is at the core of UKHO and the people and expertise are at its heart, so we need a leader who is energised to step into the possibilities this position offers globally, for the industry and as part of the Defence. The UKHO has an advisory Board and the Chief Executive will work closely with the Board Chair. Marion Leslie offers a few words of introduction in the welcome video below.
Thank you for taking interest in the role, and we look forward to receiving your application.
Nina Cope
Chief Operating Officer (MOD)
