British Cycling announced its search for a new chief executive to step in place of outgoing CEO Ian Drake, who plans to step down in April.
The organisation is seeking "an outstanding leader who will harness full responsibility for driving business growth, increased participation and ensuring effective governance of an internationally-renowned sporting organisation", it said in a press release.
While Drake has come under criticism for his handling of British Cycling's recent crises, including the allegations of sexism and discrimination by Shane Sutton, the ongoing investigation into Team Sky and its handling of Lizzie Armitstead's whereabouts issues, Drake denied his departure had anything to do with these events.

"Some time ago I made the decision that the Rio Games would be my last as CEO of British Cycling," Drake said last month. "I believe that the end of this Olympic cycle is the natural moment for a new CEO to take the organisation forward into the Tokyo Games and beyond."
Current British Cycling president Bob Howden said today that "It's a very exciting time for British Cycling with a ground-breaking partnership with HSBC UK beginning next year and the start of a fresh four-year cycle in the run up to Tokyo. The organisation's membership is at 130,000 - its highest ever level - and the appetite for cycling shows no signs of slowing."
"This is an incredible opportunity for an innovative, inspirational leader to come on board and drive further results across all levels of the sport."
