LocationAbout the job

**Job summary**:
The Government Property Agency is changing the way the Civil Service works and is at the forefront of Government's transformation agenda; reshaping the relationship civil servants have with their place of work. The Agency is central to the delivery of key Government policies including moving 22,000 Civil Service roles out of London by 2030 and tackling climate change by contributing to the Net Zero agenda. To do this we are delivering a major change programme across the UK and consolidating our portfolio in order to save £1.4 Bn over 10 years.

Beyond the bricks and mortar, the GPA is about providing great workplaces for our people. Through programmes like Hubs, Whitehall Campus and Smart Working you will be in the vanguard of creating model working environments and promoting flexible working practices.

This is an ambitious and exciting task, for which we need innovative people, with strong commercial acumen, who are passionate about visualising and implementing customer needs. Launched as an Executive Agency of the Cabinet Office in 2018, we’re a relatively new department and we are growing fast so we also need people who thrive in ambiguity, can adapt quickly to change and are comfortable stepping outside of their remit to drive outcomes.

The GPA is committed to representing the communities we serve by making Diversity, Equality and Inclusion part of everything we do.

**Job description**:
This Chief of Staff role is a pivotal and demanding role, which leads the GPA’s Capital Projects Directors Office, providing direct high quality strategic and policy advice to the director and his senior leadership team, to enable them to make timely and well-informed decisions.

The Chief of Staff will act as a trusted adviser whilst managing the interface between the Executive Director team, wider GPA directorates, GPA Strategic Partners and key stakeholders including local authorities and senior leaders in industry.

This is a fast paced, varied and challenging role, and will give the postholder an insight into the machinery of central government and the property management/construction industry. The post holder will be required to be proactive and build strong working relationships across GPA, wider Civil Service and industry.

**Key Responsibilities**:
The role’s principal focus is making time, information and decision-making more effective and customer focussed within the directorate.

As the Chief of Staff to the Capital Projects Director, specific responsibilities will include but are not limited to the following activities:

- Being the first point of contact to coordinate and respond to strategic and operational matters for the Director and the senior leadership team (SLT); deciphering urgency and ensuring that relevant actions are identified and progressed at an appropriate pace.
- Acting as an integrator: connecting Capital Projects with other GPA directorate work streams that would otherwise remain siloed to ensure that our clients and customers are put at the heart of everything we do.
- Linking the leadership team and the wider Capital Projects team, proactively identifying and getting to the heart of challenging issues and working with the SLT to implement or develop the relevant strategies or solutions where necessary.
- Acting as an honest broker when the Director needs a wide-ranging, whole-team view without turf considerations and acting as an advisor to the director, providing support and challenge.
- Providing leadership to, and being responsible for the management of the directors office team, ensuring they have the support, knowledge, resilience and skills to maintain the effective operation of the director’s office.
- Coordinate and respond to strategic and operational matters on behalf of the director, deciphering urgency and ensuring that relevant actions are identified and progressed at an appropriate pace.
- Maintain relationships between staff, executives, senior leaders, and CEO, regarding culture, employee well-being, project updates, proposals, and planning
- Oversee daily operations through collaboration with senior management team and team leaders, ensuring actions are completed and communicated effectively
- Build and develop relationships with all employees for increased efficiency and effective responsiveness into existing operations, and help to define new ope
