Chief Executive Officer, 0.6 FTE

Volleyball Ireland

Volleyball Ireland is seeking a part-time Chief Executive Officer to lead the organisation through its next phase of development.

Volleyball Ireland is the National Governing Body for volleyball in Ireland. Its role is to promote, develop and govern the sport across clubs, schools, competitions, national teams, beach volleyball, volunteers, coaches, referees and the wider volleyball community.

This is a permanent, part-time position at 0.6 FTE, equivalent to approximately three days (21 hours) per week. The role operates on a hybrid basis, combining office-based and home working, with the Sport Ireland Campus serving as the primary work location. Attendance at selected events, stakeholder meetings, and occasional national and international travel will also be required.

The Board recognises that a part-time CEO role requires a clear and sustainable allocation of responsibilities. The position has therefore been designed within a broader organisational structure, supported by operational and finance resources, allowing the CEO to focus on strategic leadership, governance, stakeholder engagement and the continued development of volleyball in Ireland.

The CEO will report to the Board, with the President/Chair acting as the primary reporting interface.
