Manchester Pride have launched a search for a new boss as part of an ambitious growth plan.

Hundreds of applications are expected for Manchester Pride’s newly created Chief Executive role as the charity sets its sights on creating a series of year round events to increase the annual donations it makes to local worthy causes.
 
Manchester Pride’s new Chief Executive will be tasked with expanding its activities to include a series of fundraising events throughout the year.
 
Manchester Pride’s Chair, Vicken Couligian, said:
“The recent resignation of our Festival Director gave the Trustees an opportunity to review our aims and structure."

“The success of the Pride Fringe running up to the Big Weekend proves that we can do more to raise awareness of LGBT issues and increase the six figure donations that we already make to charities. 

"We want to fully realise our potential and the appointment of a Chief Executive reflects this.
 
“Manchester Pride’s event management will also be brought in house with the creation of a new event manager role as part of the changes giving us the flexibility and focus needed to broaden our horizons.
 
“Crucially, these changes will reduce our staffing and event costs while allowing us to do more fundraising activities throughout the year.”
 
With the new team expected to be in place by early next year, Manchester Pride anticipates that new events and activities will take place during Spring and Summer 2012, all designed to increase the donations its makes to charities.
 
Accountable to Manchester Pride’s Board of Trustees, the Chief Executive will be responsible for delivering its long-term vision, managing a team of three, liaising with the community and partners, and delivering a high profile and complex city-centre based event annually.
