Job Description:
2026 is the year of delivery. The decade that follows is ours to shape.
Herefordshire stands at the edge of something extraordinary. Over the next 18 months, a decade of planning will move into execution: a new Local Plan; a county-wide regeneration programme; a major public realm contract reprocurement; commercial and cultural investment across city and market towns; the most ambitious wetland and water-quality initiative in the UK; and, crucially, the beginnings of major transport investment.
This is no ordinary role. As Corporate Director of Economy and Environment, you will take the lead on one of the most exciting and wide-ranging portfolios in local government today. From economic growth to environmental recovery, to strategic housing and major programme delivery, this is a leadership opportunity with both immediate urgency and long-term consequence.
You will hold responsibility for major contracts, including highways and public realm; growth and commercial strategy; infrastructure and planning; and for unlocking the full social and economic potential of this place. You will manage complex relationships - across government departments, regulatory bodies, developers, and residents - and bring strategic coherence to a cross-council delivery programme that touches every community.
This is a role for a system-shaping leader: someone who can translate vision into delivery, bring people with them, and hold the line when it matters. You’ll need to spot opportunity in complexity and to work across political, professional and geographical boundaries with agility and conviction.
Herefordshire is financially stable, politically committed, and culturally open. Its workforce is energised and empowered. And you’ll have the trust of a Chief Executive who believes in giving you the space to lead, and the challenge to do it well.
This is a big job. And it will define the next chapter for Herefordshire. If you're ready to lead bold delivery and shape lasting change, we’d love to hear from you.
