Job description

Mslexia, the UK’s best-loved writing magazine for women, is seeking a Chief Executive Officer to lead the organisation into an exciting new phase of growth and impact.

Founded in 1999, Mslexia is a national publishing and outreach charity dedicated to addressing gender inequality in literature. We support over 50,000 women writers through our magazine, books, competitions, courses, events and online community. Financially independent for more than 20 years, we now want to build on our success, strengthen our sustainability and extend our reach.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a respected, values-driven organisation with a strong brand, loyal audience and passionate team.

About the role

As CEO, you will provide strategic, operational and inspirational leadership for Mslexia, working closely with the Board of Trustees and leading a team of talented staff.

You will be responsible for:

  • Setting and delivering organisational strategy with the Board.
  • Leading and supporting the staff team, fostering a positive, inclusive and high-performing culture.
  • Overseeing financial management, budgeting and long-term sustainability.
  • Developing and diversifying income streams, including commercial activity, partnerships and fundraising.
  • Acting as the public face of Mslexia, championing its mission locally, regionally and nationally.
  • Strengthening governance, systems, policies and risk management.
  • Building partnerships and promoting the Mslexia brand and influence.

We are looking for an inspiring, values-driven leader with the vision, credibility and skills to lead a purpose-led organisation.

You will bring:

  • Senior leadership experience in the charity, public, commercial or related sector.
  • Strong financial literacy and experience managing multiple income streams.
  • A track record of leading and motivating teams.
  • Experience working with a Board or similar governance structure.
  • Strategic thinking skills, with the ability to turn vision into action.
  • Excellent communication, influencing and relationship-building skills.
  • A strong commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.

Desirable:

  • Experience in the arts, culture or creative industries.
  • Experience of hybrid earned / grant-funded income models.
  • Events or publishing-related experience.

Why join Mslexia?

  • Lead a nationally respected charity with a clear social mission.
  • Work with a skilled, passionate and supportive team.
  • Shape the future of women’s writing and gender equality in literature.
  • Flexible working and family-friendly policies.
  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
  • City-centre Newcastle location.
