Britain currently boasts both the male and female world champion over
standard distance triathlon as well as World and European title holders at
long distance triathlon and duathlon and a pipeline of emerging
talent. Put simply, our top athletes are world class.
We are seeking a leader who has the creativity, passion and the vision to
develop the strategic direction, inspire and engage and drive the shared
vision to achieve sustainable, world-leading performance at all

confidence that this vision can be delivered, enhancing performance
throughout our GB Triathlon teams. The existing athletes, coaches,
staff and the Board who have supported the journey to London 2012 have
demonstrated that together, we have the talent to succeed; their engagement
in the future performance journey is critical.
British Triathlon is a high performing organisation, twice winner of the
prestigious Sports Industry Awards Governing Body of the year (2010 and

level. Our mission is to promote excellence and create
everyone’s personal triathlon challenge. If “no stone
unturned” performance delivery is the challenge that inspires you,
then this is the role for you.
Applicants will have significant experience of high performing
environments, a good technical knowledge of endurance sport, backed up by
personal experience in the field of elite international competition.
You will be a leader with the ability to develop a shared vision and build
a strategy around that vision. You will have the skills to build, manage,
inspire and engage the teams to deliver that vision. Strong interpersonal
and communication skills and the proven ability to lead a diverse, highly
skilled team are essential.
