After seven impactful years, our Chief Executive Vicki Watson recently announced that the time is right for her to pass on the baton.
Our Guardians are currently seeking an exceptional leader to step into Vicki’s role and lead The Circle through our next phase of impact. This is an opportunity to head a truly unique public-private partnership of more than 60 organisations from business, the Crown, and iwi, united by a shared commitment to reverse the decline of Aotearoa's natural capital.
The Chief Executive role provides visible values-led leadership, driving strategy and execution while sustaining and growing our partner base, helping translate ambition into real, measurable outcomes.
Kerridge & Partners is managing the appointment process, and applications are invited through Seek by 5pm, Friday 5 June 2026. Queries can be directed to Mel Oosthuizen at mel.oosthuizen@kerridgepartners.com.
