This is a significant strategic leadership role within the Council. With oversight across all corporate services, and with a key role to play in ensuring the efficient financial and operational management of the organisation, as well as its cultural development.

You'll be accountable for a full range of services, that includes:

• Finance
• HR & Organisational Development
• Procurement & Contracts
• Legal & Democratic Services
• Policy, Performance and Customer services
• Digital and IT

Working across the organisation you will ensure our systems and processes are integrated and agile supporting delivery of high quality, value for money, customer focused services.

Leading on delivery of the Council's significant digital transformation programme, including the associated cultural shift will be a priority and a key component in ensuring our service delivery is as streamlined as possible, our provision to customers enhanced, and organisational capacity released as a consequence.

While this is a Resources role in its broadest sense, it is essential that you can bring significant financial planning and budget management expertise. You can expect to be deeply involved in budget / MTFS planning alongside the ongoing monitoring of financial performance that the current fiscal environment demands.

However, we would expect that you'll be professionally qualified in one or more of the key areas of the role's remit and that you are already operating as a strategic leader in a similar setting. You'll be able to demonstrate a track record of delivering transformation programmes and the associated cultural change that have enhanced organisational capacity and reduced delivery costs. As a key advisor to elected members and other senior leaders, it's essential that you have an informed and tested appreciation of working within a political setting and the sector's governance arrangements.
