The Managing Director (MD) is the organisation lead of Kambe, responsible for the day-today leadership, management and performance of the organisation. As Kambe transitions into employee ownership and moves from founder-led delivery to an independently run organisation, the MD provides clear operational authority, organisational leadership and long-term stewardship. The role is accountable to the Board and works within a values-led, collaborative and employee-owned context. The MD holds full delegated authority for operations, finance, people and commercial activity. The role emphasises enabling the organisation and its people to perform at their best through support, clarity and collaboration. LEADERSHIP CONTEXT Kambe has reached a stage of organisational maturity, and is transitioning into employee ownership, where executive leadership can move from founder-led management to an independently led structure. The current MD is a founder who is presently acting in the organisation's sole executive role. Following the appointment of an MD, there will be a defined handover period of up to six months, during which the founder currently in the Managing Director role will provide time-limited, non-operational and advisory support. At the end of this period, the MD will be the organisation's sole executive lead, ensuring clear authority and accountability within an employee-owned organisation. This approach supports continuity with momentum, building on strong foundations while establishing independent executive leadership for Kambe's next phase.
