Job Introduction
We have an exciting opportunity for a senior professional with a track record of board-level leadership to join the West of England Combined Authority as our Strategic Director of Infrastructure.
The Combined Authority has entered a new phase following the election of the new Metro Mayor, Dan Norris, in May 2021 – and we are looking for someone who is enthusiastic, driven and conscientious to be a key part of our Senior Leadership Team and deliver our new ambitious agenda.
You don’t have to come from a public sector background, but you do need to have a keen understanding of how public finances work, combined with the leadership ability to deliver success within a complex political environment. Your proven influencing and negotiation skills, commercial awareness and budget management will be essential to your success.
You will embody our values in everything that you do in the role: working creatively, collaborating with and supporting colleagues and stakeholders, and bringing ambitious vision to the Authority.
If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you. For an informal conversation with our Chief Executive Patricia Greer, please contact Patricia’s PA Lorraine Cook on 0117 332 1495 or Lorraine.Cook@westofengland-ca.gov.uk to arrange a time.
