**Job summary**:
As England’s principal marine regulator, the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) is dedicated to protecting and enhancing our precious marine environment, ensuring that our seas are healthy, safe, productive and biologically diverse.

MMO is a small but impactful organisation with a global reach; our expertise and dedication to delivering world class fisheries management have earned us recognition on the local, national, and international stages.

With the UK now firmly established as an Independent Coastal State, this is an exciting time to lead our organisation. We are presented with unparalleled opportunity to solidify our newfound powers and collaborate closely with our sponsoring Department, Defra, to deliver reinvigorated policy ambitions.

We are seeking a Chief Executive Officer who will ensure that the MMO achieves its aspirations to become a world class fisheries regulator. To be successful in this role you will be an outstanding, energetic and inspirational leader, with strong strategic capability and judgement. You will have proven experience operating at board-level within an organisation of comparable size and complexity. You will have exceptional stakeholder engagement and influencing skills and will share a strong alignment with MMO’s mission and values.

At the MMO, we are committed to understanding, respecting and representing as broad a range of views and backgrounds as we have in UK society. We know that diverse perspectives and experiences are critical to an effective, modern Public Sector. Our vision is to ensure the MMO represents modern Britain and is a truly inclusive employer - an example to other employers. We will create an organisation where diversity is not only respected and valued - but celebrated.

**Job description**:
The Chief Executive Officer has responsibility for the day-to-day executive leadership, management, and performance of MMO. The Chief Executive Officer is also expected to be the Accounting Officer, with responsibility and accountability to the Principal Accounting Officer (who is the Departmental Permanent Secretary) for internal governance and financial probity. The Chief Executive Officer directly reports to the Chair of MMO and is accountable to the board. In addition, as Accounting Officer, the Chief Executive Officer is answerable directly to the Defra Permanent Secretary. The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs will approve this appointment.

The Chief Executive Officer will need to ensure that MMO is well positioned to achieve its aspirations to become a world class fisheries regulator, including delivering on Departmental priorities such as the 25-Year Environmental Plan, recently launched Environmental Improvement Plan, and UK Government 30-by-30 commitment.

MMO is a geographically dispersed and complex organisation, with around 500 staff across the country and an annual budget of approximately £40 million. The Chief Executive Officer will need to be able to lead a geographically dispersed team through a period of significant opportunity, coupled with challenges, as MMO delivers against its range of existing statutory duties, whilst implementing and managing new marine and fisheries policies and regulation.

Like other public bodies, MMO operates within the wider context of government’s efficiency and reform agendas. MMO is sponsored by Defra and the two organisations work closely together to deliver an effective partnership relationship at all levels. We also work across government and undertake duties on behalf of other departments including Department for Transport.

**Person specification**:
**Leadership and Management**
- Work with the board and with Defra to define and deliver the organisation’s strategy, aims and objectives.
- Ensure that the organisation has the capacity and capability to enable it to deliver its aims and objectives. Lead the development of credible, evidence-based cases for future resourcing needs.
- Lead, manage and motivate the executive team in their delivery of performance outcomes.
- Be an inspirational, enthusiastic role model to MMO’s people. Exhibit the values and behaviours expected in the organisation and be at the forefront of initiatives to enhance the culture of the organisation.
- Demonstrate the ability to make difficult decisions and justify them at the highest level.
- Be a leader in the marine management space, influencing s
