The role becomes vacant from October 31 2015, when the current GCEO, Roger Lewis, departs after his nine year tenure.
SRI has prepared a Candidate Brief in association with a panel of senior figures within the Union to help identify individuals who have the career status, expertise and competencies to lead the WRU through its next stage of corporate and commercial evolution as a governing body for the whole of Welsh rugby.
WRU Chairman, Gareth Davies, said: “We are delighted to have been able to appoint a firm with the expertise and stature which SRI has in the sporting executive marketplace.
“We have already carried out extensive preparatory work on this project and SRI is perfectly placed to interpret our needs and identify the best candidates for the job.
“The clear priority is to recruit the very best person to take Welsh rugby forward as we manage the inevitable challenges and take advantage of all the opportunities which lie ahead.”
SRI Chairman, Mike Squires said: “Welsh Rugby is well positioned to take full advantage of the growth opportunities arising from the approaching World Cup and beyond. We look forward to working closely with Gareth Davies and his Board on this critical appointment, utilising our network of international offices to conduct a truly global search. Based on our experience across the world of rugby, I have no doubt that this unique role will attract candidates of the highest calibre.”
