This is a new role in the organisation, created to lead our work to identify and realise commercial opportunities within our portfolio of services. Areas of initial focus will include our environmental and commercial waste services, as well as our property / housing portfolio, and our wider regeneration activities. We don’t expect you to be an expert in all these professional areas – we are interested in your business analysis skills, your commercial acumen, and your ability to negotiate and influence in brokering the right deals for our community.
The post reports to the Deputy Chief Executive: Regeneration and Commercial and will be a member of the Corporate Leadership Team, where it will play a role in shaping and delivering our corporate priorities.
Local government reorganisation means that we are operating in a period of sector transition, and I am certain that success in this role will be an excellent platform for future progression. There is considerable opportunity for you to shape this new role and make a real impact at Wyre Forest. It’s a fantastic opportunity to lead operational and cultural change as we look to nurture and entrepreneurial spirit in our approach, while remaining true to our core values as a democratically accountable organisation.
Wyre Forest has much to offer as a place to live and work, and we offer flexible working arrangements. You can be assured that you will be part of an organisation that is serious about professional development, and where you’ll be supported to succeed in this key leadership role.
