Cairngorm Mountain, near Aviemore, runs a wide range of activities throughout the year, from skiing and snowboarding to ranger-guided walks, family-friendly mountain biking, children鈥檚 tubing slides and its latest addition, mountain carting.
Located in breathtaking scenery in the Cairngorms National Park, the resort also boasts a caf茅, bar, shop, mountain garden, equipment hire and the UK鈥檚 highest restaurant.
Its signature attraction, Scotland鈥檚 only funicular railway, is currently out of service while an extensive programme of remediation works is completed, but is expected to be back in action soon.
Cairngorm Estate is in public ownership through development agency Highlands and Islands Enterprise and the resort is operated by a subsidiary company, Cairngorm Mountain (Scotland) Ltd (CMSL).
The previous chief executive retired last September and the responsibilities of the post have since been managed through a combination of a part-time interim chief executive and enhanced roles for two of the senior management team.
According to the job advert, CMSL is looking for someone with exceptional leadership, people management and communications skills who will lead a highly motivated and skilled team to promote Cairngorm Mountain as a leading Scottish attraction, plan sustainable growth and direct day-to-day operations.
Commitment to building positive relationships with a broad range of customers, partner organisations and stakeholders at local, regional and national levels will be critical.
It is also important that the chief executive has a clear and strong commercial focus, awareness of environmental issues and a proven ability to make high quality investment decisions to grow and sustain the business.
Details are on the Highlands and Islands Enterprise website and the closing date for applications is Sunday 9 February.
