You will have proven experience managing and influencing senior stakeholders and external partners, and be able to provide clear, evidence-based advice to support decision-making at the highest level. You will bring strong leadership and initiative, with demonstrable experience in facilities management, workplace transformation or office relocation projects.

You will also have sound financial and commercial management skills, including budget and contract management, and a clear commitment to equality, diversity, inclusion and accessibility in the design and delivery of modern, collaborative and flexible working environments.

Please note, this role will require frequent office attendance at our Union Street Office.
