Job description

Executive Director

Lead the next chapter of a growing organisation championing East and Southeast Asian communities across the UK.

We're looking for an experienced, values-driven leader to shape SEEAC's future, strengthen our impact, and help build a more equitable and representative society.

The Southeast and East Asian Centre (SEEAC) is a community-led organisation working to amplify East and Southeast Asian voices, strengthen cultural identity and representation, and advocate for the rights and wellbeing of ESEA communities.

This is an exciting opportunity to join SEEAC at a pivotal moment in our development. As Executive Director, you will provide strategic leadership across the organisation, working closely with our Board, staff, partners and communities to deliver our mission and ensure long-term sustainability.

You will lead organisational strategy, fundraising, partnerships, governance and operations, while acting as a visible and inspiring ambassador for SEEAC's work. The role offers the opportunity to shape the future direction of the organisation and help expand our reach, influence and impact.

About You

We're looking for someone who can combine strategic thinking with collaborative leadership and a strong commitment to social justice.

You will bring:

  • Senior leadership experience within the charity, cultural, community or non-profit sector

  • A strong track record in fundraising and income generation

  • Experience overseeing organisational strategy, governance and financial management

  • Excellent relationship-building and partnership skills

  • The ability to inspire teams, stakeholders and supporters

  • A passion for community empowerment, representation and equity

Experience working with East and Southeast Asian communities is highly desirable, though we welcome applications from candidates with transferable leadership experience who share our values and vision.

What We Offer

  • Salary up to £50,000 FTE (pro rata, depending on experience)

  • Part-time role (0.8 FTE / 4 days per week)

  • Hybrid working arrangements

  • Flexible working practices

  • Pension contributions

  • 28 days annual leave including bank holidays (pro rata)

  • A unique opportunity to lead a respected and growing community organisation

How to Apply

Please submit the following to jobs@seeac.org.uk:

  • A CV (maximum 3 pages)

  • A cover letter outlining how your experience meets the essential criteria

Applications close at 9:00am on 19 June. More information can be found on our website: www.seeac.org.uk/work-with-us

We particularly welcome applications from people of East and Southeast Asian heritage and from groups currently underrepresented in leadership positions.
