Address
SalaryThe Government Property Agency (GPA) exists to provide a single Civil Service estate managed for the benefit of all government departments. Creating the GPA in 2018 represented a step change in the way that the Central Government general purpose estate is managed and the GPA’s mission is to deliver best-in-class property and workplace solutions across government.
This is an incredibly exciting time for government property – real estate is at the heart of reinventing Government, and the GPA is central to delivering on the vision of a ‘Modern Civil Service’. The GPA is a transformation agent for government workplaces, workspaces and work practices and as an experienced commercial property leader, this is a challenge you’ll not want to miss!
The primary vision of the GPA is to mirror a commercial property organisation by strengthening commercial incentives and implementing cross-government strategies. This is done through a portfolio approach to property asset management, maximising returns and minimising waste through the identification and implementation of rationalisation opportunities.
As CEO you will provide leadership to the GPA, driving financial benefits, optimising asset efficiency and releasing surplus estate. You will champion transformation, providing government departments and agencies with innovative solutions and specialist asset management and commercial property expertise that enables them to deliver wider business change and you will support the Government’s agenda for regional growth and strengthen the Union. GPA needs a strong CEO to build trusting and collaborative relationships with clients, deliver internal cultural and capability transformation and empower and inspire the organisation to perform at a high-level in order to deliver real benefits to the taxpayer and Government.
This is a unique role with far reaching impact and influence. The Chief Executive will shape and grow the organisation by building its capacity and capability, striving for excellent client service and outcomes, enhancing its reputation, and deliver the promised efficiencies and savings. Influencing across government, with tangible benefits to staff in the public sector and to the public, this role requires a dynamic balance of strategic vision and pragmatism.
The GPA has retained Russell Reynolds Associates to advise on this appointment.
