Overview
Wirral Council is entering a new chapter, with a new Chief Executive in Matt Bennett, a refreshed senior leadership structure and a clear focus on modernising the organisation and delivering outcomes residents can see and feel. As Executive Director of Place, you will lead one of the Council’s most significant portfolios, bringing together Neighbourhoods and Regeneration into a single strategic directorate. This is a role that connects everyday services with long-term opportunity, shaping the way residents experience the borough now and the way Wirral grows for decades to come. We are looking for someone with a strong track record of delivering place-based change at scale, who brings energy and ambition and a clear vision of what success looks like. A strong collaborator, your values will put Wirral’s communities at the heart of how the borough grows and develops. This is a role with significant influence—both internally across the Council and externally with partners, developers, businesses, and communities.
About You
We’re looking for a dynamic, strategic, and inspirational leader with a strong track record in regeneration, place shaping, environment, neighbourhood services, transport or similar areas and proven ability to deliver major projects to time, budget, and high-quality outcomes.
