Corporate Director (2 posts)

Local Partnerships is at an exciting phase in its development, having just restructured and repositioned itself to provide and share professional support to and for the public and third sectors meeting emerging local needs. It is unique in local public services, with sponsorship of both central and local government.

2 vacancies have arisen for Corporate Directors to drive business development in both Local and Central Government. In doing so, they will take on responsibility for specific business areas including:

* Waste Management
* PFI Operational
* Assurance
* Management of RSG
* Development of new products for the local Government market
* Oversight of Finance, Legal and support to Board

Successful applicants will need to demonstrate a high level of commercial acumen, including experience at identifying and marketing new work streams, leadership, and have in-depth experience of operational delivery in the public sector at a strategic level. Both posts will balance commercial delivery and business development with client-facing activity, and responsibilities will be split to fit the skills and experience of the team as a whole, creating a complementary and cohesive team.

Local Partnerships is a team of highly experienced professionals, and the focus of these roles is on leadership and developing opportunities to expand the business.

Outline job descriptions, more information and details of how to apply are available from this link.
