Central London, United Kingdom Open For Business Full time

About Open For Business

Open For Business is a coalition of leading global companies dedicated to LGBTQ+ inclusion. Our mission is to build the business and economic case for LGBTQ+ inclusion in countries where the situation is challenging.

We have several dedicated regional programmes, including those currently operating in the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, and East Africa. Each of these programmes works with advocates in the local business communities, strengthening local business voices by providing them with evidence and fact-based arguments.

We also undertake global research to tackle pressing issues such as LGBTQ+ inclusion in emerging markets and LGBTQ+ inclusion and the UN's Sustainable Development goals. Every two years we publish our City Ratings which ranks cities on both economic competitiveness and LGBTQ+ inclusiveness.

The Role of Our Trustees

Our Trustees are responsible for developing strategy, providing governance, and directing the charity towards achieving its mission. We are looking to appoint new trustees who have significant knowledge, skills, and experience in at least one of the following areas: finance, charity governance/law, or fundraising.

We aspire to increase diversity of ethnicity, gender identity, and geographic representation on the board, and applications from these communities are encouraged.

To be successful in this role, you will need to have a strong commitment to our values and aims, as well as significant knowledge, skills, and experience in at least one of the areas mentioned above.
