Director of Local London

Local London
Salary up to £110,000
Hackney

This is ‘London’s leading edge’. Local London is one of four sub-regional partnerships in the UK’s capital city. Founded in 2016, we are a partnership of nine local authorities in north east and south east London. Our member authorities are Barking & Dagenham, Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich, Havering, Newham, Enfield, Redbridge, and Waltham Forest. We are an ambitious partnership of Councils pushing for progress and innovation, focussed on tackling long-term issues to deliver improved skills, training, infrastructure and economic growth.

THE ROLE

The new Director will provide strategic leadership to the Local London sub-region developing and delivering joint programmes of work which meet the ambitions of the partnership, namely delivering growth and improving outcomes for residents.

This varied role combines policy, lobbying and programme management and will see you working closely with Chief Executives, Council Leaders and Mayors. You will need an exceptional interest in and knowledge of the economic, policy and political context of the sub-region, and be able to deliver for our residents.

The role will entail identifying opportunities and developing a case for greater devolution to Local London and working with London’s other sub-regional partnerships to negotiate effective and meaningful relationships with Government in relation to the transfer of powers, responsibilities and budgets.
