Additionally, you will lead the implementation of the Directorate’s strategic plan, manage one team member, and play an active role in the Senior Management Team.

We will achieve these goals by drawing on our leading scientific research, unrivalled collections of plants and fungi, global network of partners, inspirational gardens at Kew and Wakehurst, and our 260 years of history.
Join us on our journey as protectors of the world’s plants and fungi.
