Waltham Forest is a vibrant borough, rich in culture and diversity. It is nationally recognised as a great place to live and for businesses to call home. In every corner of our borough you will find people coming together and contributing to their communities in different ways.
This role is an exciting opportunity to deliver innovative asset management and capital delivery solutions to some of the most pressing challenges facing Waltham Forest, including providing people with new affordable homes and local services.
We are looking to appoint a Corporate Director who will lead on the strategic policy direction, leadership and financial control of the Council’s Property and Delivery service, providing corporate oversight of the Council’s ambitious capital programme, which is investing £750m into communities across the borough over the next 10 years.
Your leadership will enable the borough’s inclusive growth potential to be realised, taking a leading and proactive role in implementing Mission Waltham Forest’s goals, which set out the council’s plans for a fairer borough by 2030. You will do this by securing investment and greater revenue through the delivery of new housing, employment space, community infrastructure and the proactive management of the council’s property estate, working on transformative projects at Fellowship Square, Soho Theatre and Coronation Square.
