Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom Birmingham City Council Full time

We are a city facing unprecedented financial challenges. But we are buoyed by the determination and resilience of our communities, elected members, workforce, and commissioners to overcome them. The hurdles ahead of us and the sheer scale of the challenge is not to be underestimated but our residents deserve the very best services that local government can offer.

Our transformation journey has started with the appointment of a nationally regarded chief executive. The next building block is the assembly of a truly outstanding team of executive directors united in their desire to restore impeccable standards of governance, financial management, and public service. Our determination to recreate a council that empowers the city to thrive will underpin all that we do and we will prove that local government can rise to the challenge in exceptional circumstances.

As Executive Director for Place, Prosperity and Sustainability, you will play a key role in creating a successful Birmingham, with the aim of achieving the city's mission to become one of Europe's most liveable cities - resilient, sustainable, inclusive, equitable, economically productive, and supportive of good health and wellbeing. You will lead the development and delivery of a range of growth and community related strategies, working with a wide array of local, national and international partners to realise skills, employment and investment opportunities and maximise sustainable growth.

This is one of the most exciting and yet demanding roles in local government;
