About the role: This is one of the most strategically important delivery roles within the organisation. You will lead the Council’s place‑based regeneration agenda while strengthening how major projects are prioritised, co‑ordinated and delivered across the organisation. You will play a central role in turning strategic ambition into visible delivery – leading programmes that support sustainable, inclusive and resilient communities across the Vale. Working across regeneration, housing, transport, learning, neighbourhood services and wider infrastructure programmes, you will bring together multidisciplinary teams and partners to drive a more connected, resilient and outcome‑focused approach to delivery. You will also act as a visible civic leader for the Council, building trusted relationships with communities, elected members, Welsh Government, UK Government, regional partners, investors and delivery organisations to maximise opportunity, secure investment and shape long‑term outcomes. This role requires someone who can navigate complexity, build confidence across stakeholders and deliver at pace in a high‑profile and evolving environment.
About you: We are looking for a confident, collaborative and values‑driven leader who combines strategic thinking with delivery focus and thrives in complex, ambitious environments. You will bring significant experience delivering regeneration, infrastructure or capital programmes at scale, alongside strong commercial awareness, political understanding and the ability to lead through influence across a complex organisational environment. Just as importantly, you will share our passion for public service and our belief that regeneration, place making and excellent project delivery can create lasting change for people and communities. You will be someone who builds strong partnerships and trusted relationships, creates clarity, confidence and accountability, leads collaboratively across services and organisations, combines strategic oversight with delivery focus, and is motivated by making a visible and lasting difference.
What we offer: The role offers a meaningful and high‑profile leadership position within significant regeneration, placemaking and strategic investment activity, helping to shape communities, services and infrastructure that will leave a lasting legacy across the Vale. Benefits include flexible and hybrid working arrangements, generous annual leave entitlement, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, support for professional development and continuous learning, a culture that encourages innovation, collaboration and continuous improvement.
Ambitions: We welcome informal conversations with prospective applicants who would like to learn more about the role, the Council and our ambitions for the future.
