Independent Directors
New Zealand
- New Zealand’s leading summer sport
- High performing governance and management teams
- Key contribution as global game grows
New Zealand Cricket’s (NZC) constitution requires the retirement by rotation of three directors for this upcoming year. Of the three directors retiring in this rotation, two will be seeking re-election, with one to retire at the end of their term. Sheffield Search is assisting NZC’s Board Appointments Panel to facilitate this process.
NZC has a vision of cricket being New Zealand’s favourite game and is committed to encouraging Diversity and Inclusivity, recognising the importance of breaking down discriminative attitudes and behaviours in sport.
NZC invites applications from suitably qualified individuals.
Skills and Experience
A Skills and Capabilities Framework approved by the organisation’s membership outlines the ideal experience and mix of strengths that are considered most likely to deliver outstanding governance leadership of the sport. In addition to a depth of governance experience, skills to be considered carefully in this rotation round, and which will assist and guide the decision-making process, specifically include:
- a deep knowledge of the game as an elite player, incorporating an involvement in and understanding of high-performance environments; and
- stakeholder relationships, including connections and relationships in commerce and government.
