The Role
For Wild Places is seeking a new Treasurer to join our Board and support our work to build our organisational capacity to use sports activism to protect wild places under threat. This is a voluntary, governance-level role suited to someone with a strong background in financial oversight and reporting.
As Treasurer, you will play a key role in ensuring the Board is empowered to govern the financial affairs of the organisation. You'll work closely with the Chair, CEO, and Finance and Risk Subcommittee to provide strategic advice and support, including reviewing reports, overseeing risk, and helping ensure the integrity of our financial systems and compliance.
