About the Role

As a key member of the Rochdale Development Agency (RDA) Senior Leadership Team, you will play a central role in driving transformational growth, unlocking strategic opportunities, and delivering the borough's regeneration priorities.

The successful candidate will lead regeneration, commercial development, and large-scale infrastructure projects to deliver Rochdale Borough's Growth Plan and RDA Business Plan. This includes:

  • The Atom Valley Mayoral Development Zone (MDZ), one of six growth locations in Greater Manchester, which will create 1.6 million square meters of employment land for industrial uses and 7,000 zero-carbon homes across three development sites, creating 20,000 new good-quality jobs.

  • The Town Centre Masterplans for Heywood, Littleborough, Middleton, and Rochdale, showcasing ambitious visions that emphasise the strategic significance of the borough's town centres.

You will work closely with key stakeholders, including the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, government bodies, and public and private sector partners, to design and implement high-impact schemes. It is essential that you ensure RDA's regeneration and development priorities align with the strategic goals of Rochdale Council, improving connectivity, increasing residential and commercial floorspace, and high-quality development across the borough.
