SRA is seeking to appoint two Non-Executive Directors to join its board.
SRA is governed by a skills-based board of seven directors, a majority of whom must be independent. The role of the board includes to approve strategic and operating plans, review the company’s performance against plans, and seek advice and recommendations from the SRA Research Funding Panel for contestable investment of the substantial SRA Research Funding Pool.
The board is required to have a balance of skills across a number of key selection criteria. For the current vacancies, the Director Selection Committee is particularly seeking directors with expertise and knowledge in:
- sugarcane growing

SRA is currently undertaking a business transformation review of its operating model and organisational design to ensure SRA’s ongoing sustainability. Demonstrated commercial skills and experience in leading transformation, organisational change and achieving strategic outcomes in the sugar or an agriculture based industry will be highly regarded.
All SRA directors are expected to have a demonstrated capacity to contribute at board level including a sound understanding of governance.
SRA actively seeks diversity and gender equality in the recruitment of board directors.
Directors are remunerated by way of a fixed annual fee. Reasonable board-related expenses are met by the company. Directors will be appointed for a maximum term of up to three years. Applications close 5pm on Friday 19 June 2020.
