Chief Executive

‘A place where global opportunities are lived and shared locally’.

Do you have the skills, experience and passion to deliver our vision for a new piece of London?

The Mayor of London’s Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation is looking for an exceptional Chief Executive to lead London’s largest regeneration scheme. Spanning 650 hectares across three west London Boroughs, and including the Park Royal industrial estate, the Grand Union Canal, Wormwood Scrubs parkland and the vast new HS2 ‘superhub’ at Old Oak Common, this is a project of huge scale and potential.

With our planning and regeneration framework in place, and a strong partnership with central government and rail agencies to control 70 acres of development land, the chief executive will lead the corporation into its strategic delivery phase. This includes the selection of the investment and development partners that will see Old Oak become a super-connected, inclusive and thriving canalside district with 9,000 new and affordable homes, 3 million square feet of new workspace, parks and amenities, and life enhancing opportunities locally and beyond.

Working with OPDC’s highly accomplished team and our richly diverse local communities and businesses, you will need a clear and practical appreciation of why equity diversity, and inclusivity sits at the heart of all that we do, and show clear evidence of how you promote and model these values.

You will need a strong track record of planning and managing complex budgets, programmes and projects, clear evidence of effective and accountable risk management and deal making, and the skills to navigate effectively across a wide stakeholder landscape that includes City Hall, TfL, government, Boroughs, rail agencies, residents, businesses and community groups.
