UK-based World Netball has said it is seeking an "interim and permanent chief executive," and that the role offers "an outstanding and unique opportunity to lead netball globally at an exciting time for the sport."

The World Netball CEO for the last 15 months has been Fiona Harold, who took up the role in September 2024, having previously served as commercial director for women's golf's Ladies European Tour.

Prior to Harold's arrival, Vicky Lowe had been World Netball's interim CEO for five months.

Applicants for either role should send a CV and cover letter to info@worldnetball.sport.

The deadline for applications to the interim role is January 23, while the deadline to apply for the permanent CEO position is January 30.

The search for a new CEO comes with netball set to be a key sport at this year's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, while the next edition of the Netball World Cup will take place in 2027, in Sydney, Australia.

The publicly available job specification outlines "financial stability and revenue growth" as a key area of focus for the next CEO.
