Non-Executive Director

ROLE SUMMARY

Comprising three iconic venues in the city, Belfast Waterfront & Ulster Hall Ltd (BWUH) has a pivotal role to play in supporting economic growth by attracting and securing business tourism to ICC Belfast as well as supporting the music and arts scene across Northern Ireland.

As a limited liability business, it has a strong board comprising six non-executive directors and chairman and is seeking to co-opt a replacement non-executive onto the board for an initial tenure of three years.

We are seeking a highly credible and commercially focused individual, with a solid background in a commercial financial leadership role, with a strong skillset of driving commercial success and growth, whilst diligently managing risk and compliance.  Additionally, the successful candidate will have significant executive or non-executive/trustee experience with a strong understanding and practical application of corporate governance.

The non-executives provide crucial support to the executive leadership team to deliver the business objectives around delivering safe and world-class services (for up to 5,000 patrons on any given day across the three venues), as well as the commercial objectives, specifically the economic impact target of £125 million by 26/27. In recent times, Northern Ireland has cemented its brand on the world stage and by capitalising on opportunities to attract international associations and corporate conferences to ICC Belfast, BWUH can bolster the local economy as a result of increasing bed nights in hotels, growing footfall at key visitor attractions and driving restaurant, bar and taxi trade throughout the year.
