• Work closely with the Executive Leadership Team, Corporate Management Team, Members and partners to shape strategic priorities and future service models.
• Drive innovation, transformation and continuous improvement across the organisation.
• Build and lead high performing teams with a culture of collaboration, accountability and ambition.

• A strong track record in policy, performance, transformation or organisational development.
• Experience of leading major change programmes, preferably within local government or complex public sector systems.
• Outstanding strategic thinking, analytical capability and communication skills.
• The ability to build influential relationships with Members, partners and stakeholders at all levels.
• A passion for making a real difference to communities and public services.
Why join us?
