About British Cycling

British Cycling exists to bring the joy of cycling to everyone.

We have embarked on an exciting new journey, with a modernised commercial and events offering grounded in social impact and storytelling, harnessing the spotlight and inspiration of our athlete's performance on the world stage, and our growing portfolio of major events.

We are working towards our three key priorities outlined in our strategy; to support and grow the sport to make cycling more inclusive and accessible, to lead on the world stage by winning and winning well, and to drive social impact by tackling inequalities through providing opportunities.

What will you be doing?

As a Non Executive Director for British Cycling Ventures (BCV) - the newly launched commercial subsidiary of British Cycling - you will help shape a bold new era of commercial growth and strategic investment for cycling in Britain.

You will:

• Provide independent oversight, challenge, and guidance to the BCV Board as it drives commercial expansion across events, partnerships, and emerging digital revenue streams.
• Support the Managing Director and Executive Team in delivering BCV's ambitious strategy, leveraging British Cycling's IP and strengthening its commercial footprint nationally and internationally.
• Contribute to governance and risk management, ensuring BCV operates with integrity, transparency, and in line with best practice corporate principles.
• Offer expertise on commercial scale up, investment readiness, and long term value creation as BCV seeks a strategic investment partner.
• Promote innovation across new business models, digital ecosystems, and fan focused products aligned with the sport's future.
• Act as an ambassador for British Cycling and BCV, helping extend the reach and impact of one of Britain's most successful Olympic and Paralympic sports.

What we're looking for

We are seeking two high calibre NEDs who bring commercial acumen, independence of thought, and experience of guiding organisations through growth and transformation. Specifically, we are looking for individuals with:

• Demonstrable senior leadership experience in commercial strategy, digital transformation, investment, sport, events, entertainment, or related sectors.
• Experience operating at board level (executive or non executive), with a strong understanding of good governance.
• Insight into scaling commercial ventures, including partnership development, revenue diversification, or equity investment processes.
• The ability to provide constructive challenge, strategic counsel, and objective judgement.
• A commitment to supporting British Cycling's wider mission through BCV's commercial success.
