IABM, the international trade and business association for broadcast and media technology, is seeking applications for the role of Chief Executive Officer.
We are looking for an inspirational Chief Executive to build on what is already a well-rounded, successful, and respected trade association. The new CEO will create an even more compelling membership offer bringing all sides of the industry – from all round the world – closer together to secure the future success of the MediaTech market.
With 450 members across the globe ranging from multinationals such as AWS, IBM, HP, Dell, and Verizon to emerging, agile, small and medium-size businesses, IABM represents the majority of the MediaTech market’s revenues worldwide. The Association supports members with a range of services, including highly regarded business intelligence, skills and education, technology updates, support at international trade shows, industry events, awards, knowledge, networking, and exposure of their brands and products to the international market.
Reporting to the IABM Members’ Board, the new CEO – who will have full P&L responsibility – will lead IABM in pursuit of its objectives to deliver the longer-term strategic plan for the growth and development of IABM. Key objectives in achieving this include: raising the profile of IABM in the sector and beyond by being an ambassador for the organisation; positioning IABM as the primary advocate in MediaTech: promoting growth of membership internationally; supporting IABM governance arrangements; transforming the IABM member offer; ensuring IABM continues to actively engage with its whole membership; developing and managing a small, high-performing team; acting as a senior spokesperson for the Broadcast and Media industry at the highest levels; and building alliances with key stakeholders across the whole industry.
Applicants will have significant leadership and management experience in a relevant public/private/trade association or non-profit, preferably with a background in the technology or media industries, and a record in delivering business change with proven leadership credentials. The new CEO will be a confident communicator, engaging presenter and natural relationship builder, able to thrive in a technology-driven industry which is transforming at speed. Strong business acumen is a prerequisite. The CEO will also engender trust and respect within and outside the organization and have the leadership skills to drive and transform teams.
