Job Description
Join us as the City of Edinburgh Council’s Corporate Director of Place
Edinburgh is an outstanding capital city, recognised across the globe as a leader in business, the arts, science and education. The city centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and our cityscape provides a unique architectural and natural backdrop to city living. Home to the internationally renowned Edinburgh festivals and the Scottish Parliament, it is an excellent city in which to live, work, study, visit and invest.
At the City of Edinburgh Council, we’re prioritising creating good places to live and work, taking all the local actions needed to end poverty and working to deliver a net zero city by 2030. As Corporate Director of Place, you will be at the heart of these priorities.
This is an exciting opportunity for a visionary and strategic leader to oversee one of the most dynamic portfolios in the Council, which includes responsibility for culture, economic development, environmental services, housing, homelessness, development, estates, roads, transport, and planning.
We’re looking for someone with a strong and successful track record of strategic leadership in a complex organisation.
