Overview
Stevenage is a town with bold ambitions. As the UK’s first New Town, our legacy of innovation, community, and progress continues to shape a forward-looking vision for inclusive growth and transformation. With over £1 billion in regeneration underway and a Corporate Plan focused on Making Stevenage Even Better, this is a rare opportunity to lead high-impact change in a place with genuine ambition.
We are now seeking a new member to join our leadership team as a Strategic Director to lead planning, regeneration, and wider place-based services. Reporting to our Chief Executive, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the town – working alongside Members, partners, and communities to deliver change that is sustainable, inclusive, and locally grounded.
A key priority will be leveraging existing relationships with partners across business, academia, education, and the third sector to develop compelling, collaborative, and viable bids that attract investment, unlock further funding, and deliver major regeneration.
This is more than a regeneration role. It is a chance to shape the future of place and community in a town with the vision, partnerships, and leadership to make it happen.
