I am looking for an experienced person but with particular skills around ICT, data management, commercial property software and Income/ Debt. This is a small part of this JD.

3. Oversee the Council's Income and Debt function, managing the Income and Debt officer to ensure rental incomes and arrears are effectively managed.
4. Serve as the Council's leading advisor on key strategies related to the commercial portfolio, including Estates Savings and VCS Lettings Policy.
5. Lead procurement, establishment, and implementation of ICT systems for commercial property management, interfacing with systems like Cedar, and oversee data management and regulatory processes.
6. Ensure staff maintain current knowledge of commercial property markets through training and professional development.
7. Manage project teams across departments and external consultants in delivering property projects.
8. Deputise for senior roles such as the Head of Commercial Estates and Principal Surveyors, including statutory valuation programs, and be qualified as or able to register as an RICS Registered Valuer.
9. Lead efforts related to the development and delivery of the Council's Sustainability and Energy Strategy, including compliance with MEES legislation.
10. Work with senior management to foster a culture of high performance and innovation.
11. Build relationships with other departments, providing professional advice and reporting to various stakeholders, including the Cabinet and Mayor.
12. Manage the VCS property portfolio strategically, including policy review and stakeholder engagement.
