These include the transformative and highly renowned Women in Football Leadership Programme, and at Wembley Stadium, our empowering annual Be Inspired Conference.

As a non-profit, membership-based organisation, we believe in the power of collaboration to achieve progress, and we are constantly looking for ways to broaden our relationships in and around the football industry. Through our Corporate and Club Membership programmes we support organisations to become truly gender-inclusive employers, and we’re building relationships with policymakers and stakeholders across football and beyond who share our vision of a future for the game where gender discrimination no longer exists.

About this opportunity 

What we’d like you to do: You will bring knowledge and expertise to our board. This is an active role in our boardroom where we’ll encourage and support you to express your views on all items on the agenda. You will be involved in both strategic and operational aspects of our work, attending board meetings and committees as appropriate.

The role is for 24 months, and we’d like you to commit to working around 8-12 hours a month with us. Most of the work (apart from meetings) can be done flexibly around your work and personal commitments. Our board meetings are set in advance for the year and are a mixture of both in person and online.

As with our full board positions, this role is unpaid, but reasonable expenses will be paid.

How we will help you 

You will be fully supported by the entire board, and we will help you to develop the skills you need to become board ready. A board member will be assigned to work with you to oversee your programme of development. You’ll also be able to receive mentoring from another director on a topic of interest to you and we can also offer executive coaching to you. 

In addition, you will receive a free place on our highly regarded Leadership Programme and have priority attendance at all other WIF events and courses.

About you 

We’re not looking for the finished article. Instead, we’re looking for someone who has some experience under their belt. You won’t have acted as a director or Trustee before, but you would like to one day join a board. We’ll help you get there. 

We are particularly interested in applications from people with expertise in digital, communications, or commercial partnerships.

You’ll also be a Women in Football member – so if you’re not already, sign up for free.

Diversity, equality and inclusion are in our DNA. We celebrate multiple approaches and multiple points of view, and everyone is welcome. If you work with us, you’ll be empowered to be your authentic self. This is how you will thrive, and if you thrive, Women in Football will too.

We’re committed to increasing diversity in our leadership and warmly encourage applications from individuals across diverse ethnic communities, recognising the value of varied perspectives and experiences.  If you’re passionate about football, equity, and leadership, with the skills we are seeking and are looking for an opportunity to develop your skills at board level, we would love to hear from you.

Recruitment process and timetable 

If you’re interested, please send us your CV and a covering letter.
