About Birmingham City Council
The scale of opportunity in Birmingham is unrivalled and cannot be found in any other city across Europe right now.

Birmingham is a city of opportunity and we’re drawing on its rich history and previous successes to become even better. That’s why we’ve developed challenging objectives to help us to reach even greater heights. With our ambitious Chief Executive and her leadership team driving forward bold plans for growth and development across the city, Birmingham is fast on the way to becoming even more brilliant. Our goal is to provide best-in-class services for residents and at the heart of these plans will be a high performing City Operations directorate, which is where you come in.

About the role
Our Strategic Director of City Operations will have a unique opportunity to develop a clear vision for City Operations so that its services meet the council’s ambitious growth agenda. We’re building stronger public engagement and driving greater responsibility for civic pride among our communities. We aspire to deliver consistently high-quality services for our citizens and instil confidence in the reliability and responsiveness of our services. This role is all about strategic leadership having a real influence on high profile frontline services, including highways, waste, street cleansing, sport events, leisure, film, and tourism. There’s scope to challenge current ways of working, to develop and embed new commercial cultures with skills to match. We’re creating leaner and more effective services that are data-led and focused on intelligence.

About you
If you can demonstrate real passion and experience of leading community engagement with a strong desire to do even more for our citizens, we’d like to hear from you. In return, we’re offering unrivalled opportunities for growth and development and a genuine investment in your future with the council. This is a unique role for an accomplished strategic leader who works well in complex organisations like ours and who has a track record of transforming large operational services in the public or private sector. We’ll embrace your strength of leadership and your conviction to be bold, curious, and commercial – this is the Birmingham way.
