The Poverty Bay Rugby Football Union invites applications for two vacancies for the position of Independent Board Member. The two vacancies are for a three year term, commencing 21 March 2019.
The roles require a corporate governance focus, with responsibilities for setting the strategic direction for rugby in the Poverty Bay region and monitoring the performance of all aspects of the business, while taking into account the interests of all relevant stakeholders. The selection panel will make their decision based on a set skills matrix that requires candidates with experience in:
- Finance and Business
- Legal and Human Resources
- Sports Governance
- Marketing and Revenue Generation.
