The Mineral Products Association (MPA) is a prominent UK Trade Association representing the Mineral Products Sector, including cement, aggregates, concrete, asphalt, and more. Our sector employs 80,000 people, generates £22 billion annually, and produces 400 million tonnes of material each year, making it the largest material flow in the UK economy. The member companies we represent range from multinational groups to SMEs. We now seek a CEO to lead the MPA, taking responsibility for developing the strategic direction and initiatives that will enable and support our Members in meeting the multiple challenges they face: decarbonisation; sustainability, access to mineral resources and the regulatory issues which impact upon them. Crucially, our new CEO will ensure that MPA leverages all relevant communication channels and resources to best represent Members' interests to key stakeholders including Government, regulatory agencies, industry partners, and the public; highlighting the sector’s essential economic, social and environmental contributions and advocating for favourable policies and regulatory frameworks in order to protect the industry's 'licence to operate.'
Strategic Direction: Analyse the internal and external social/political environment, develop strategic direction and the necessary actions and initiatives to ensure MPA's relevance and influence. Serve as the principal advisor to the Board and lead the management team.
Sector Advocacy: Engage with key stakeholders, maintain high-profile representation, and communicate MPA's policies and position effectively to influence Government and regulatory decisions.
Member Engagement: Cultivate relationships with Members, ensuring timely information provision and high-quality service delivery to meet their needs while actively seeking to attract and retain Members. Operational Management: Oversee the organisation's safety, financial stewardship, and compliance with legal responsibilities while fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration among staff and ensuring operational efficiency and effectiveness.
PLEASE NOTE: Although primarily envisaged as a full-time post working from our London office and within the salary range stated, for a truly exceptional candidate already operating at or above this level, there is potential for flexibility around part time working, hybrid working and salary.
