London, Greater London, United Kingdom Osborne Richardson Full time
Our client is a Local Authority in North West London.

Within their Growth directorate they are working to shape the Borough as a place to Live, Work, Study and Visit.

Through their Growth Strategy they are delivering the housing, connectivity, support for businesses and town centres, and social infrastructure needed to sustain and improve local communities.

Their Planning, Housing, Regeneration, Economic Development, and Estates services are a community of talented people solving the real-world problems and challenges that need to be addressed to deliver change and improve lives.

About The Role

Historically local authorities have tended to sell surplus land at the best price reasonably obtainable.

With decreases in public funding alongside fiscal devolution, this Local Authority is seeking an alternative more commercially minded strategy to conventional disposals to steer long-term development and increase potential receipts and generating longer term revenue.


The Council is looking for a high calibre project and programme portfolio manager to help shape and deliver mix tenure housing developments to support the significant growth across the borough (c.£2b in total).


This is an exciting and varied role that puts the individual in charge of managing some of the Council's key mix tenure housing schemes and aiming for excellence on a personal level across a number of portfolios interfacing with both internal departments (Education, Greenspaces, Town Centres, and operational estate departments) and external consultant teams and development partners.

The post holder will report to the Assistant Director of Development Partnerships & Regeneration.

The role will also involve working with Strategic Directors, Directors, Assistant Directors and other service leads, and Housing, Economy and Placemaking to ensure consistent strategic alignment and reporting directly to relevant Boards and senior Council groups on a number of strategic portfolios.


The individual in question will be flexible, highly motivated and enthusiastic, inspiring others around them and aiming to bring about change for the better.

He/ She is expected to model and maintain the Council's values and behaviours, demonstrating leadership skills, inspiring others, working collaboratively with peers, service colleagues, partners and stakeholders.
