We’re looking for a mission-driven Head of Governance to help shape and strengthen governance at English National Opera and the London Coliseum.

This is a high-impact senior role at the heart of the organisation, combining hands-on delivery with trusted advice. You’ll work closely with the Board and executive team to ensure decision-making is clear, accountable and aligned with Charity Commission guidance and best practice.

You’ll oversee the annual governance cycle, support trustee development, and champion inclusive, well-informed decision-making that enables our leadership to thrive.

Requirements:

  • Significant experience in charity governance, company secretariat or a comparable senior governance role

  • Strong understanding of charity law, trustee responsibilities and good governance practice

  • Experience supporting Boards and committees, including planning, papers and effectiveness reviews

  • Demonstrable experience improving governance frameworks, processes or systems

  • Confidence advising senior stakeholders with discretion, diplomacy and authority

  • Experience working collaboratively across executive teams to embed effective governance practices

  • Clear, credible communicator, both written and verbal

  • Highly organised, with the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines

  • Practical and solutions‑focused, with a bias for action

  • Calm, measured and trusted, with strong professional judgement

  • Committed to ENO’s mission, values and public purpose, including equity, diversity and inclusion

Please see our recruitment pack for full details of the role.
