Brooke has been improving the lives of vulnerable working horses, donkeys and mules – as well as the communities that depend on them – for more than 85 years. Operating across some of the world’s most challenging areas, Brooke works directly with 1.7 million animals and 1.1 million owners, with millions more benefiting as Brooke training, empowerment and system change ripples through whole countries. With more than 600 staff members across the globe, 500 of whom work in 11 developing countries in Asia, Africa, and Central America, the Brooke team includes vets, animal welfare experts and development specialists.
Brooke is looking to its next Chief Executive Officer to build on this positive impact and momentum. Working with the Board on the continuing development and delivery of the Brooke’s vision, mission and long-term strategy as a global champion for working equine welfare, the incoming Chief Executive will lead an experienced and passionate team into the next stage of its development and impact. We are seeking a visionary, strategic and courageous leader to realise our ambitions. This person will engage with integrity with our key partners and staff by embracing our approach of catalysing lasting change for equids and their owners.
The ideal candidate will have a track record of values driven, entrepreneurial, creative and collaborative leadership that has delivered measurable impact to support social change. Ideally, this person will have experience of influencing high-level, international and diverse stakeholders, and of inspiring and motivating teams. You will be a strong operational manager, networker and communicator, with high integrity and credibility alongside a deep interest in the promotion of animal welfare.
This is an extraordinary opportunity to make positive and lasting sustainable improvement, not only to the lives of animals, but also to the communities in which they work by providing skills and support to benefit these animals’ livelihoods. If you share our vision and values, and you have the exceptional leadership skills needed to help us carry out our mission, we would love to hear from you. We are a diverse and inclusive team and welcome applications from candidates from a broad range of backgrounds.
