The Chartered Association of Business Schools seeks to appoint a Chair of the Small Business Charter Management Board, to take up the position for a period of three years, from January 2025.
We are looking for an outstanding individual who combines experience of leading a small business and an enthusiasm for the role of higher education in economic growth. Whilst knowledge of higher education, and in particular of business schools, would be ideal, depth of experience in working with small and medium sized businesses is essential. You will preferably have Board experience, be already engaged in influencing SME policy development and will bring personal enthusiasm and influence to drive the work of the SBC forward in its 10th anniversary year.
