Head of Strategic Organisational Development and Change
Shape culture. Shift behaviours. Strengthen our people experience
Are you a visionary, people-centred leader with a passion for building inclusive, empowering workplaces? This is your opportunity to lead transformational change at scale - and help shape how it feels to work at Birmingham City Council.
We’re looking for a Head of Strategic Organisational Development and Change - someone who knows that culture isn't just shaped by strategy, but by how people are led, supported, and heard every day
In this pivotal role, you’ll lead three critical areas:
* Design and deliver EDIB strategies that drive real, measurable change
* Collaborate with leaders and employee networks to embed inclusive practice across the organisation
* Monitor progress using data, feedback, and engagement insights
* Shape a culture where our people thrive, feel valued, and are inspired to contribute
* Lead on employee engagement strategy and action planning
* Use feedback and insights to create meaningful interventions that enhance our people experience
Strategic OD & Change Office
* Act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders on culture, capability and organisational resilience
* Lead key people-centred transformation programmes
* Strengthen our change leadership capability and embed frameworks that support long-term impact
This is more than a strategic role — it’s a chance to redefine how performance, behaviour and trust are understood and lived across the Council. You’ll be at the heart of how we deliver change with our people, not to them.
What we’re looking for:
Emotionally intelligent, values-led leadership
A deep understanding of culture, people engagement and inclusion
Proven experience delivering transformation through people
A passion for making work better - for everyone
Let’s build something better - together
If you’re ready to lead change that’s felt across every corner of an organisation, we’d love to hear from you
