Up to £119,000 + relocation (pay award pending)

We’re looking for a new senior executive with the experience and insight to match our ambitions.

This role leads a team of around 120 to deliver legal and democratic services, internal audit and elections. You’ll also be the Council’s statutory Monitoring Officer and part of the Corporate Leadership Team, working closely with the CEO and colleagues to promote high standards in public life and ensure effective governance. As we embark on our second period of devolution, you’ll provide expertise on emerging models which enable us to maximise the benefits and safeguards of this opportunity.

Good governance also underpins our ambition to improve community engagement in civic life, and you’ll be passionate about the role of local government in fostering thriving democracy. Our stewardship role is also vital, so you’ll be accountable for ensuring we have robust assurance and risk management arrangements in place, and that they respond dynamically to the Council’s business-planning and decision-making processes.

Candidates must be legally qualified and show that they have extensive  professional experience at a senior level in large, complex organisations. Variety is one of the key characteristics of this job, and you will need to demonstrate adaptability, resilience and a lively curiosity about new opportunities and challenges.
