LLS director Carolyn Raine said recruiting a diverse range of strong candidates was essential.
"The statewide chair plays a pivotal role at LLS," Ms Raine said.
"They will be responsible for driving the strategic direction and vision of the organisation, while working closely with the chairs of our 11 local boards.
"The successful candidate will thrive providing constructive and cohesive guidance to the organisation, ensuring the delivery of our local services meet the needs of landholders across NSW.
"After bushfires, drought and floods, landholders have a long road to recovery, so it is important our organisation is in the best strategic position to not only provide support, but help grow agricultural productivity and healthy environments."
As part of the LLS' succession plan, the statewide board is set for up to four years.
"We are encouraging candidates from all walks of life to apply, who can help set the strategic direction of LLS for years to come," Ms Raine said.
Applications close at 5pm, May 9.
