Chief Operating Officer

Railway roundhouses – like this splendid example at St Blazey in Cornwall – were the result of applying new technology and expertise to longstanding challenges. Can you see where we’re heading with this?

We’re looking for an outstanding, experienced and resourceful person who can grasp the breadth of our ambitions for Cornwall. We’ve made significant strides in recent years in embedding concepts such as outcomes-based budgeting, cross-council working, digital transformation and the importance of change. Your job is to consolidate these strong foundations into a fluent and integrated programme that makes things happen.

Candidates must bring an impressive track record of achieving lasting change, and must know how to manage significant budgets and manage teams through a culture of continuous improvement. You’ll understand how to work effectively despite complexity, and will bring a total focus on delivery. A key success factor will be in establishing highly productive, accountable relationships with colleagues and councillors at every level, so that the momentum we’ve initiated continues. And you’ll be a stimulating source of new thinking and best practice from across the organisational spectrum.
