**Purpose of the Role**

King’s Cross is one of the largest and most successful redevelopments in London.

It’s a vibrant new neighbourhood with a brand new postcode - N1C. The location, the connections, the canal-side setting, the heritage, an exciting cultural scene, a thriving business community, and a strong sense of local community.
