"The current Chief Constable Carl Foulkes has led the force since 2018 and leaves the force well placed for the challenges ahead."
The successful candidate must demonstrate a strong commitment to serving the public and building the trust and confidence of the communities of North Wales, a collaborative style of working and the delivery of a policing service against a background of diminishing resources.
A spokesman for the office of the PCC added: "The Police and Crime Commissioner is committed to equality and diversity and welcomes applications from individuals of all backgrounds.
"The force is committed to being a bilingual organisation. Therefore if you are successful you will be expected to indicate a positive approach towards the Welsh language and achieve a measure of competency for which full support will be given."
