Lead one of the world's oldest and most influential human rights organisations

Chief Executive
Anti-Slavery International
Salary: £93,600 per annum
London | Hybrid working

Anti-Slavery International is the world's oldest human rights organisation. For almost 200 years, we have worked to end slavery in all its forms, partnering with survivors, civil society, governments and businesses to influence laws, policy and practice that create lasting systemic change.

As Anti-Slavery International enters an exciting new chapter, we are seeking an exceptional Chief Executive to lead the organisation through its next phase of impact.

This is a rare opportunity to lead an internationally respected organisation at a pivotal point in its journey. With a renewed strategic direction, a committed Board and an experienced senior leadership team, the successful candidate will build on strong foundations to strengthen organisational capability, foster a high-performing culture and maximise Anti-Slavery International's impact in an increasingly complex global environment.

Working closely with the Board, staff, partners and supporters, you will provide strategic, financial and organisational leadership while acting as a compelling ambassador for the organisation. You will build trusted relationships across government, philanthropy, civil society and business, ensuring Anti-Slavery International continues to influence policy, practice and public understanding of modern slavery.

We are interested in hearing from leaders who bring:

  • Significant executive leadership experience, with responsibility for organisational strategy, people, finance and fundraising.
  • A track record of leading organisational development, building high-performing teams and leading positive cultural change.
  • The ability to build trusted relationships, influence senior stakeholders and represent an organisation with credibility and impact.
  • Experience of securing sustainable income and developing strong funding partnerships.
  • Strong financial and strategic judgement, balancing long-term ambition with effective operational delivery.
  • A commitment to Anti-Slavery International's mission and the leadership qualities to inspire people, build confidence and deliver lasting impact.

Whilst an understanding of our mission is important, we are first and foremost seeking an exceptional organisational leader. We welcome applications from candidates both within and beyond the modern slavery sector who can demonstrate the leadership capability to guide the organisation through its next chapter.

This is an opportunity to lead an organisation with a remarkable history, work alongside exceptional colleagues and partners, and help shape a future where everyone can live free from slavery.
