Head of Corporate Finance, Runnymede

In today's context – more than ever before – corporate finance must be an engine of transformation and continual improvement for public service. Runnymede is no exception: we've set out a clear strategy which builds on our proud legacy of high-quality services and low costs, but takes us forward into a more enterprising future. And we want to attract an ambitious and talented professional who's ready for the challenge of delivering this strategy, driving efficiency and developing sustainable new revenue streams.

At the heart of the role is an understanding of the new opportunities opening up for local government, and the ability to create a structure and culture which maximises that potential.

It's a genuinely broad remit: asset management, regeneration, and service delivery are all part of the mix, and you'll also offer an expert view on performance management across the authority. With a strong track record of your own, you must be able to persuade us that you have strengths in both the technical and commercial areas, and show the resilience and vision to deliver for the long term.

Closing date: noon, 20 February 2012.
