Bicycle Queensland seeks new CEO

Bicycle Queensland are recruiting for a new Chief Executive Officer. This is the chance for the right person to lead the movement for a more active and sustainable Queensland

Bicycle Queensland (BQ) is a not-for-profit with over 12,000 passionate members – people across Queensland who ride bikes and scooters for transport and recreation. Our mission is to get more people riding more often. We are riding bikes, having fun and changing the world.

We have a small staff supported by a highly capable board and a network of volunteers and supporters.

At its heart, BQ does three things:

• We support our members, with member services including insurance
• We advocate for better policy and places to ride – including the active transport networks that make Queensland cities sustainable, for rail trails and bike tourism
• We promote riding including through great events

Key qualities we are looking for in our next CEO

We want you to live our mission – to be someone who really gets it about how bike riding and sustainable transport can transform Queenslanders’ lives for the better and can lead the debate to legitimise bikes as a mode of transport.

We want you to love our members – to understand BQ’s value proposition and have the expertise in membership, marketing and communications which will drive member growth.

We want you to be a change agent – someone with EQ and political nous who can create a network for change across the community and work with governments of all persuasions to get safe, sustainable transport happening.

We want you to be a capable business operator – to be financially literate, tech savvy and a good people manager capable of transforming BQ into a high performing organisation.

We want you to be a person of integrity – to work well with the board, to be an ethical leader and to be someone with whom we can have honest, creative conversations.
