Head of Property & Asset Strategy

Lead on a major local authority property transformation.

We're partnering with a North West Local Authority looking for an experienced Interim Head of Property & Asset Strategy to lead a significant programme of property and asset transformation.

This is a highly strategic role. The council needs someone who can assess the current property function, identify opportunities for improvement, and drive the implementation of a modern asset management approach.

You'll be responsible for a team of approximately 20-30 people, helping to shape the future of the Council's property and corporate asset plans.

Key areas will include:

• Leading and developing a sizeable Property / Estates function
• Reviewing existing structures, processes and ways of working
• Delivering strategic asset reviews and identifying opportunities for improvement
• Developing and implementing Corporate Asset Strategies
• Experience of Corporate Landlord models and wider property transformation
• Turning strategy into tangible operational change
• Providing senior-level advice and direction across the organisation

The Council is particularly interested in someone who brings more than traditional property management experience - they want a leader with the vision to understand what a modern Local Authority property service should look like and the experience to make that happen. MRICS qualification is preferred.

Interim Head of Property & Asset Strategy

• £800 - £900 per day
• Initial 4-month contract - strong potential to extend
• 2 days per week in office

Interviews are expected in the third week of September, with a view to starting in early October.
