Board level positions are among the most senior and respected roles in the business world.
Recruitment agencies and employers are currently looking to fill a number of positions across the country, including specialist roles in marketing, sales and management.
Qualifications are valued highly for these roles, with employers looking for university graduates and in many cases those with experience and a proven track record of success in their field. Board level staff are leaders and decision makers.
The work in all cases is challenging but also rewarding and employers are looking for candidates seeking employment who are motivated by the desire to be challenged and who have a thirst for responsibility and accountability.
In many cases the targets and goals will be clear but the rewards for reaching those targets will be tangible. Salaries can start at between £35,000 to £40,000 and reach more than £100,000 for the most senior positions. Companies across the country require leadership and the salaries on offer are always among the most competitive for any role, wherever they are based.
Recruitment agencies want highly-motivated candidates for these positions, self-starters who will flourish under pressure. Experience is important, as are qualifications, but employers are also looking for strong personalities to take their companies forward.
