London Marathon Events (LME) is a leading events company that delivers thirteen world-class mass participation events every year including the London Marathon – the world’s greatest marathon, and the biggest one-day annual fundraising event in the world.

Since the London Marathon was created in 1981, we are now a £40 million business and an extraordinary force for good, having raised more than £1 billion for charities. Our surplus is passed on to the London Marathon Charitable Trust (the Trust) each year through corporate gift aid, and the Trust and LME work in partnership through a Group Strategic Framework to maximise the impact of the two organisations.

The Trust and LME are now seeking a Non-Executive Director to join the LME Board. It is a pivotal moment in our history, and you will be helping us to deliver an exciting and ambitious strategy, and maximise the impact we have through our activities and the fundraising we enable.

You will bring a demonstrable passion for inspiring activity, relationship building skills and the ability to listen to a range of perspectives, as well as a commitment to diversity and inclusion. Previous experience as a Non-Executive Director is desirable, but not essential.
