Following confirmation that Zara Hyde Peters OBE will step down as CEO at British Triathlon, after six years in the role, British Triathlon recently opened up the application process for the position of Chief Executive Officer at the national governing body.
In opening the application process, Ian Howard, Chair of the British Triathlon Board said “Zara leaves the Federation in fantastic shape for the future, but the organisation has high aspirations and we are looking for an exceptional individual to take the BTF forward to Rio 2016 and beyond.
“We believe this role will attract applicants from a wide variety of backgrounds and we are looking forward to the challenge of selecting the best candidate.”
Since 2008, British Triathlon notes that the sport has undergone a massive growth in participation, a significant shift in public profile and capped an amazing four-year journey when record crowds lined the route in Hyde Park to cheer home the first two triathletes to ever win Olympic medals for Team GB, Alistair and Jonny Brownlee.
Governance has also flourished, with British Triathlon twice winning ‘Governing Body of the Year’, awarded by the Sport Industry Group.
Interested applicants should visit the Vacancies section of the British Triathlon website for more information on the CEO opening and to apply.
The closing date for applications is Friday 2 May 2014. Candidates may be called for interview on 15-16 May in London, with final interviews to be held on 22 May in Loughborough.
