We live in a fast-changing world where the work of medical colleagues is critical.

The RSM is embarking on an exciting new stage as it moves beyond our strategy for 2021 to 2026. The focus now is to enable the development of the education programme, support and grow the membership base and develop new income streams, whether through the future utilisation of the estate, new corporate partnerships or other funding opportunities. The Chief Executive has the crucial role of supporting and enabling the President and Council in their plans to continue the RSM’s development by growing impact, sustainability and influence. Providing inspiring leadership, the new Chief Executive will nurture a strong culture of collaboration across the RSM.

As a part of this, we seek a visionary and ambitious Chief Executive to lead us into the future.

With proven successful leadership experience in a high-performing organisation, they will bring a strong sense of intellectual rigour combined with commercial acumen and influencing skills. The successful candidate will continue to build on our strong global reputation and, above all, lead by example, working hard and effectively for the greater good of society.

This is an exciting opportunity to build on the strong foundations and global reputation of the RSM. If you are inspired by the transformative power of medicine and are eager to lead an organisation that makes a meaningful impact, we would be delighted to hear from you.
