Notice Title

UK SBS PS16014 Recruitment of the Managing Director for Life Sciences Investment and Trade, UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) Life Sciences Organisation (LSO) and Office for Life Sciences (OLS)

Notice Description

The aim of the tender exercise is to select a recruitment partner/consultancy to recruit the successor to the current Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) Life Sciences Organisation (LSO). The CEO role in the UKTI LSO has been vital to the functioning of the sector team and to inward investment and trade delivery performance. To reflect the move to closer working with the Office for Life Sciences (OLS) from 2016, the role title will change to Managing Director for Life Sciences Investment and Trade, UKTI LSO and Office for Life Sciences. This role faces both internally / across government, and externally to industry and sector partners, and requires a skillset and experience level most likely to be found outside of the Civil Service, which is why the role will be filled through an external recruitment process. To ensure that we attract the best qualified candidates to interview for the role and promote a competitive and fair recruitment process, a recruitment partner/consultancy is the preferred option to help LSO fill the role, leveraging their own industry network and also helping filter and qualify applications received from candidates identified throughout LSO and OLS's networks. Please refer to the attached documentation for the full specification.
