  A unique organzation

   W3C began 2023 by forming a new public-interest incorporated
   not-for-profit organization. We are now seeking our next leader
   at this exciting time in our evolution.
   The new organization preserves the core process and mission of
   the Web Consortium to shepherd the Web, by developing open web
   standards as a single global organization with contributions
   from W3C Members, staff, and the international community. The
   new W3C entity preserves our member-driven approach and
   existing worldwide outreach and cooperation.

  Searching for a new leader

   W3C is a unique organization at a crucial transition point in
   its existence. Reporting to the newly formed Board of
   Directors, the CEO will be responsible for the success of W3C
   in line with our mission. The CEO must be an experienced and
   collaborative leader who appreciates the strong assets of W3C
   —its expert staff, engaged members, committed Board and
   fantastic reputation— and has the capacity to effectively
   leverage these to transform the organization and ensure a
   bright future and further impact.

   The next CEO of W3C will be a strategic, collaborative, and
   motivating leader. They will have a global mindset and the
   ability to effectively engage with a diverse range of
   stakeholders. They will be a person of integrity who is forward
   thinking and supportive of staff. Most importantly, they will
   have an affinity for, and understanding of, the work, mission,
   and values of W3C.

   W3C invites applications from qualified CEO candidates from
   across several continents. Please refer to the [5]Perrett Laver
   site. The deadline for applications is Friday, May 12th, 2023.
