Trustee and Chair of the Marketing Board

For more than 60 years, British Heart Foundation (BHF) has been at the forefront of cutting-edge research to save and improve millions of lives. Despite the progress we’ve made, our work has never been more needed; heart and circulatory diseases remain the biggest killers globally, with around 7.6 million people living with these conditions today in the United Kingdom alone. Our lifesaving work is primarily advanced through long-term investment in medical research, and we currently have over £400 million of BHF-funded research underway. Powered by an incredible team of volunteers, colleagues, supporters, partners, and scientists, we are more ambitious and determined than ever with potential cures and treatments we need now in sight.

Our Board of Trustees is responsible for providing appropriate oversight, governance, and leadership to the charity in pursuit of our strategies and fulfilment of our charitable purposes. We are looking for two new Trustees to support this work, who exemplify and champion our values of being brave, informed, compassionate, and driven. One of these Trustees will provide specialist guidance, insight, advice, and oversight on our brand, marketing, and fundraising strategies, as well as their connections to our income performance. In this capacity, they will guide our Marketing Advisory Board as their Chair, offering senior advice to marketing and fundraising and bringing personal experience strengthening brands in complex organisations to translate brand resonance into growth. They will also bring a collaborative approach to their membership on our Board, offering constructive challenge and supporting collective decision-making.
