Chief Executive Officer, FOSFA International
London-based with international reach | Attractive Salary & Package
FOSFA International is a global membership organisation at the heart of the oils, fats and oilseeds trade. Established in London, it provides the contracts, standards, arbitration and technical services that underpin a substantial proportion of international trade in these commodities.
This is a distinctive Chief Executive appointment. FOSFA is member-owned and Council-led, with a small, committed staff team and members in more than 90 countries. Its influence rests on the quality, independence and credibility of its work, and the trust it has built across a complex global market.
The next Chief Executive will provide visible, confident and thoughtful leadership. Working closely with the President, Council, committees, members and staff, they will ensure FOSFA continues to deliver for its members while strengthening its profile, engagement and strategic direction.
We are looking for a leader with the judgement and presence to operate across a diverse stakeholder base. Candidates may come from a membership body, trade association, professional or regulatory environment, commodities, arbitration, standards, international trade, legal services or another relevant sector. What matters most is the ability to lead with diplomacy, commercial awareness, governance confidence and a clear understanding of member value.
The successful candidate will bring experience of organisational leadership, external representation and stakeholder engagement. They will be comfortable working with elected governance structures, supporting effective decision-making and building consensus where interests may be varied or complex.
The role will suit someone who is comfortable leading in a specialist environment, where authority is earned through judgement, stewardship and the ability to bring people with different perspectives with them. The Chief Executive will need to be visible in London, close to the staff team and governance structure, while ensuring FOSFA continues to look outward and engage confidently with the markets it serves.
This is a significant opportunity to combine continuity with progress: maintaining what members trust, while helping the organisation adapt to future expectations and opportunities.
