Remote Treasurer - Jiu Jitsu Board Director (4-year term)

About The Role

The United Kingdom Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Association is inviting new candidate applications for the elected Board Director role of Treasurer. The elected delegate will join the leadership of the UKBJJA to lead the organisation for a four‑year term commencing in October, following the 2026 Annual General Meeting.

About The Treasurer Role

While the day‑to‑day financial operations and management are undertaken by the CEO, bookkeeper and accountant as appropriate, the Treasurer performs a supervisory governance role and is responsible for:

• Overseeing financial affairs of the Association to ensure they are legal, constitutional and within accepted accounting practice
• Ensuring proper records, financial reports/returns, accounts and audits are being kept and effective financial procedures are in place
• Monitoring the financial health of the organisation
• Identifying financial opportunities and risks

The Treasurer is expected to attend quarterly Financial Committee Meetings and monthly Board Meetings (as feasible) online. The role is unremunerated and entirely remote.

If you are appropriately qualified and experienced and are enthusiastic about shaping the future of Brazilian jiu jitsu across the UK, please apply below before 31 July 2026.

Applicants need not be participants of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu but must show the relevant financial expertise, commitment and integrity. For enquiries, contact the CEO at izzycarnwath@ukbjja.org.
