An executive manager is confirmed to lead the organisation for the interim.
CWI President Dr Kishore Shallow said of the search, “This is an exciting and transformative time for Cricket West Indies. With the ongoing enhancement of our human capital, we are extremely excited to complement this with the recruitment of a new CEO.”
President Shallow further stated, “In addition to executing our 2024 -2027 Strategic Plan, we are enthusiastic about the prospect of a fresh perspective and ideas for the organisation. The opportunities for West Indies Cricket are immense in a sporting industry that is growing and evolving rapidly. We expect the new CEO to lead a high-performance environment, drive innovation, and reflect both CWI’s and the region’s values.”
Interested applicants should send their curriculum vitae with a cover letter via email to recruitment@cricketwestindies.org, addressed to the Human Resources Manager, Cricket West Indies, Coolidge Cricket Ground, St George, Antigua & Barbuda, West Indies.
The deadline for submission is 5pm AST on September 30, 2024. The successful applicant will be expected to commence duties in the first quarter of 2025.
