East Midlands / Lincolnshire

Our client is an ambitious venture-backed e-commerce fulfilment company, at a pivotal point in its growth journey. 

We’re seeking an experienced Chairperson with the credibility, emotional intelligence, and hands-on experience to support the board and leadership team through their next stage of transformation.

Why this role?
This is a rare opportunity to work directly with a dynamic founding team, shape board culture and governance, and help grow a high-potential logistics business. You'll provide vital challenge and support to the CEO, and ensure that board discussions are strategic, constructive, and growth-oriented.

What you’ll bring:

  • Previous Chair experience in a fast-moving, founder-led PE/VC-backed business

  • Proven ability to manage complex board dynamics and build trust with strong personalities

  • High emotional intelligence, with a coaching mindset 

  • Strategic insight into governance, leadership development, and organisational structure

  • Ideally, a background in logistics, fulfilment, or adjacent sectors

Commitment & Fees:

  • ~3 days per month

  • Remuneration dependant on experience 

This is more than a governance role – it’s a chance to influence the future direction of a business with real potential, and play a central role in creating a high-performing, professionally led board.
