Executive Leader – Local Government - National Audit Office

Executive Leader – Local Government Londonbased, competitive package

The work of the National Audit Office (NAO) is right at the heart of the drive to improve public service delivery. Through our audit work and our major investigations into the value for money of government projects and programmes we tackle the big issues facing Government as it addresses the challenge to meet greater demand for public services with less resource, and as it invests to boost growth and innovates to deliver services more efficiently and effectively.

Our remit is expanding, notably into the local government sector, and we have an ambitious strategy which seizes the opportunities presented by changes in the public sector landscape and operating models. We are, therefore, recruiting a number of high calibre professionals with deep expertise in key areas to supplement our existing skill base.

We are now looking for an Executive Leader with a local government background to join our Leadership Team, providing dynamic and visible leadership to the full spectrum of our work covering locally delivered services. If you can demonstrate the insight and impact to add value to our work then we want to hear from you.

Closing date: Wednesday 31 July 2013

We are also seeking senior executives to provide expert advice to support our work on an ad-hoc basis. We are particularly interested in those with proven experience in a range of commercial environments, including: digital operations and business transformation, large scale capital projects, complex regulatory environments and corporate finance and banking.

For further information about these opportunities and to apply, please visit the National Audit Office website.

For a confidential discussion, please contact our advisers Holly Perry on 020 7426 3976 or Mark Turner on 020 7426 3983.
