As Head of Regeneration and Strategic Project Delivery, 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. Initially offered as a two-year fixed-term or secondment opportunity.
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, placemaking and excellent project delivery can create lasting change for people and communities.
- Build strong partnerships and trusted relationships
- Create clarity, confidence and accountability
- Lead collaboratively across services and organisations
- Combine strategic oversight with delivery focus
- Be motivated by making a visible and lasting difference
Alongside a meaningful and high-profile leadership role, we offer:
- 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
