ED Job Description Guide

Write an ED job description that recruits the right people.

Most ED job descriptions are lifted from the last one, or from another org, or from a template. This guide is honest about what an ED JD actually needs to do — recruit the right people and repel the wrong ones — and how to write one your board will agree on without a two-hour debate.

What’s inside

• A working ED JD structure with sections you can edit down or expand
• The four questions your JD should force a candidate to think about before applying
• A short section on the two things most JDs get wrong at the top
• Notes on when to call CSG for a deeper scorecard (paid CSG-N06)

You may not need this if: You have a search consultant already working on the JD with you.
