The LTA is looking for a new Independent Non-Executive Director (INED) to join its Board. The LTA is the National Governing Body for tennis in Great Britain, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, responsible for developing and promoting the sport across the country. In 2018 the LTA embarked on its new vision of Tennis Opened Up, with a clear focus to make the sport more relevant, accessible, welcoming and enjoyable. There has been significant progress over the last two years through a more focused and aligned strategy for the tennis community, modernisation and digital adoption, and the roll out of multiple core programmes from grassroots to elite performance.
A vital element to the LTA’s success is its ambition to be more inclusive and diverse than ever before. This extends throughout the organisation, tennis and the wider sporting landscape. The LTA aims to lead the way on Inclusion & Diversity, and the Board and its non-executive directors play an important role in this. The LTA is particularly focused on continuing to improve its ethnic representation and, as such, actively welcomes applications from ethnically diverse communities.
The new INED will be an experienced senior leader who can positively contribute to the diversity of the LTA’s thoughts, ideas and approaches to Tennis Opened Up. In your role as a board member, you will advise, guide, challenge and support the Executive Team in their delivery of key strategic programmes. You will be a full member of the LTA Board, chaired by Lord Mervyn Davies.
Please apply online with a covering letter and CV by midnight on Sunday 13 December 2020.
Interviews for the position will be held during January 2021 with our Chairman, President, Senior Independent Director and the People Director.
Shortlisted candidates will be given an opportunity, if required, to have an informal discussion with a member of the interview panel, as well as Scott Lloyd, CEO, prior to interviews being held.
