Commercial Contracts and Delivery Assistant Director
Starting salary: £81,287
Job Ref: LC821
There has never been a more exciting - or challenging - time to be involved in local government, especially in the commercial space. We are in a period of significant change and opportunity.
London Councils delivers a range of services for its member boroughs including the Freedom Pass, Taxicard, London Lorry Control Scheme and Health Emergency Badge. It also administers two independent parking and traffic appeals services.
Running services that improve Londoners’ everyday lives is an exciting challenge, and one where you could play a leading part. If you have the skills and experience to lead a team that manages multi £million contracts across the whole commercial lifecycle; if you can play a major role in negotiating the annual financial settlement for concessionary fares with transport providers; and if you are excited about improving London Councils’ commercial, contract management and delivery operations, this is could be the role for you.
You will already have extensive experience of contract management and procurement, and the nous to operate successfully in a political sphere. You will be an effective commercial manager who is highly committed to providing first class services to London residents and businesses who also has the confidence to think innovatively.
This is an exciting opportunity that will not only shape the way important London local government services are delivered and are perceived by government, the Mayor and the public at large, but will provide you with opportunities to be involved in delivering London Councils’ shared ambitions.
What we want:
- Significant experience of managing services delivered through contractors, including contract negotiation and procurement.
- Substantial experience of managing a function of comparable scope and complexity.
- Experience of success in enhancing and building the reputation of an organisation with customers and provider partners.
- The confidence and ability to lead, motivate and develop a high-performing team, delivering quality value-for-money services for Londoners.
- London Councils is committed to equality of opportunities. As users of the disability symbol, we guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the post.
