The ideal candidate might come from a wide range of professional backgrounds but will have a good understanding of charity governance, the skills and experience to run productive meetings, and a collegiate, collaborative approach in keeping with the ethos of the Wikimedia movement. They will also bring a strong commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion and understand how important this is to an organisation like Wikimedia UK. It goes without saying that they will need to be passionate about open knowledge and understand the importance and value of Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects.
