The Landmark Trust is an ambitious and distinctive charity dedicated to rescuing historic buildings in distress and bringing them back to useful life. For more than sixty years it has built an extraordinary portfolio of around 200 buildings across England, Wales and Scotland, and a small number in Italy, ranging from modest cottages to great works of architecture. Once restored, these places are let for holidays, enabling thousands of people each year to experience historic buildings at first hand, while generating the income that sustains their long-term care.
The Director, as chief executive, will lead the Trust through its next phase, safeguarding its character, culture and reputation while ensuring that it remains bold, ambitious and financially resilient. Working in close partnership with the Chair and Board, the Director will provide emphatic leadership, set strategic direction, oversee a complex operational and hospitality business, and champion Landmark’s fundraising and advocacy. The role calls for a rare combination of heritage sensitivity and business acumen, alongside the ability to inspire a committed workforce, communicate with warmth and authority, and care deeply for the values and culture that make Landmark unique.
Applications should be received by noon on Friday 10 July.
