About the Institute
The Alan Turing Institute is the UK’s National Institute for data science and artificial intelligence, headquartered at the British Library in London.
Overview
We are looking to appoint at least two new Non‑Executive Directors and Trustees to enhance our Board. These individuals will provide leadership through setting strategy, good governance, risk management, and ensuring the Institute operates within its company responsibilities and charitable objects.
Responsibilities
The Non‑Executive Directors and Trustees will provide guidance, support and constructive challenge to the Institute Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Leadership Team. They will serve as ambassadors, advocates and influencers for the Institute both nationally and globally, and share the Institute’s vision for the UK to become one of the best places in the world to conduct research in data science and AI, translating that research into real‑world applications.
Qualifications
- Financial management skills with accountancy or similar qualifications.
- Experience in chairing Audit and Risk Committees.
- HR and people management experience at an executive level.
- Experience in chairing Remuneration Committees.
- Experience of being a Deputy Chair of the Board.
Additionally, recent non‑executive, senior leadership or executive level experience in commercial, academic, research, and/or government sectors is desirable. We are also interested in individuals who have relevant defence, national security, environmental, and/or national resilience research experience and/or backgrounds in AI in the private sector.
Appointment Terms
Non‑Executive Directors and Trustees may be appointed by the Board on a three‑year term with the option for a further term. These roles are voluntary and unremunerated, although reasonable expenses will be reimbursed in accordance with internal policies. It is expected that the time commitment for the role will be approximately twenty days per annum.
Diversity Statement
The Alan Turing Institute is committed to creating an environment where diversity is valued and everyone is treated fairly. We value diversity of background, experience, and perspective, and are proud to be an inclusive employer. We warmly encourage applications from all backgrounds, particularly from groups currently under‑represented in our sector. If you feel passionate about this role but don’t meet every single requirement, please apply — we recognise that great candidates may bring strengths beyond the criteria listed.
