This is exciting opportunity to work in a high profile and fast-moving arena of sport with scope to make your mark on the cause. Reporting into the CEO and working closely with the Equality Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Committee, the candidate will be responsible for developing and successfully implementing our Inclusion and Diversity strategy both internally and externally.
