Principles for Responsible Investment, Chair

The PRI is a global membership organisation that has grown significantly since it was founded in 2006 by a small group of investors in partnership with the UN Global Compact and UNEP Finance Initiative. Today there are more than 5,000 signatories in over 80 countries and responsible investment has entered the mainstream. Following a period of rapid growth, the aim of the current phase of development is to strengthen value across the diverse and global membership base, operate at scale, deepen understanding of the signatories, transform digital reach, develop organisational capabilities, and build a truly global organisation.

They will be a senior leader experienced in managing multiple stakeholders globally and can commit 30-40 days for this role with frequent travel to London, UK.

We particularly welcome candidates from underrepresented groups, including those who are female, non-binary, Black, Asian, and other People of Colour, those with visible or non-visible disabilities, LGBTQ+ candidates and those who are neurodivergent.
