The successful candidate will have refereed at the highest levels of the professional game (International, European Cup or Super Rugby), will possess robust managerial credentials and display excellent communication skills.

This person will be responsible for GUINNESS PRO12 match appointments, review and development of officials and managing the identification process of emerging refereeing talent.

  • Ensure quality of referee talent to ensure all appointments (Referee, AR1, AR2 and TMO) are neutral
  • To reach an investment agreement across all participant unions for a common and co-ordinated development plan
