**Job summary**:
The Government Property Agency is changing the way the Civil Service works and is at the forefront of the 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**:
The Government’s Office and Warehouse Portfolio is one of the biggest in the UK and this affords the opportunity to shape and deliver the Government’s Property Agency’s Portfolio Strategy across this entire Estate. We bring together commercial expertise, property skills/insights together with civil service know-how to the Government central estate to help our clients meet their strategic goals and secure the best deals for Government.

This is a new and key role with a regional responsibility. This will enable GPA to deliver its agenda around the Government Estates Strategy. The role is to gain strategic insights and develop an appropriate strategy, by engaging with senior leaders across central Government Departments, Local Authorities and industry and, from there, to work across the GPA to facilitate the delivery of the commercial property portfolio strategy.

Key Responsibilities:
As the Head of Strategy (North, Central and South), your specific responsibilities will include working closely with your designated team and your wider GPA colleagues to deliver. You will be responsible for the following key areas of work, which includes but is not limited to:

- Collating and understanding the cross GPA service offer and best practice in the wider commercial property market to inform a total strategy solution for our
clients, covering not only regional property locations and size of the estate, but also areas such as the approach to hybrid working, provision of workplace services and the use of technology to support our client business objectives and the aims and ambitions of the GPA
- Leading the team by example and in a proactive way, role modelling ethics, integrity, impartiality and the elimination of bias. Ensuring effective delivery of the
key team objectives and regularly monitoring progress, enhancing the capability and capacity of the team
- Engaging with senior stakeholders within government departments to determine their future property requirements, including: asset utilisation, workforce planning and property strategy for each location within their region.
- Working with Client Managers and Places for Growth to develop and maintain a detailed understanding of government property holdings, occupations and the
demand profile of departments within the geographical area
- Actively promoting the Government Estates Strategy (GES) and GPA objectives and successes, to enable our clients and stakeholders to better understand the ‘Big Picture’ and the potential for cross government Exchequer benefits. Providing advice and support to regional stakeholders in order to help them align with the GES.
- Working with clients and across the GPA to enable a deep understanding of the business issues and aims of clients, the service offering and capability of the GPA and our supply partners to ensure that strategic property advice is aligned to the departments specific need
- Engaging with senior stakeholders within government departments to determine their future p
