Chief Executive

Employer
Salford City Council
Location
Salford, Greater Manchester
Salary
Up to £164,108
Closing date
20 Sep 2020

We call it the Spirit of Salford: a feeling that anything is possible. It’s driven by the pride, passion, energy and commitment of the people who live and work here. And over the past decade, it’s transformed Salford into the modern global city it is today.

We now need a Chief Executive who’ll build on these achievements, and help our communities to fulfil every ounce of its potential.

Salford is a global city where innovation, leadership and partnership working are contributing significantly to the increased economic vitality, growth and competitiveness of the city and Greater Manchester city region. We’re thrilled with this progress but we have an even greater vision. Guided by our core priorities, the Great Eight, we’re doing things differently to create an even better and fairer Salford. 

You’ll be the leader who steers our progress, inspiring partners, residents and our dedicated team. An ambassador and advisor, you’ll work closely with the City Mayor and councillors, partner the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and connect with the public, private, community and voluntary sector.

Building strong trusting relationships is therefore a key part of the role, but management’s just as important. You’ll oversee budgets, develop a strong Corporate Management Team and manage resources innovatively - people, financial, digital, land, property and commercial. 

Only a proven leader will have the skills to take our city forward. You’ll have a record of success in a large organisation and have introduced change on a major scale. Your strategic mind and natural people skills have played a big part in your success, supporting long-term achievement. Articulate and politically astute, you will influence, advise, collaborate and build game-changing partnerships.

Join us and make Salford the place to live, work, invest, learn and play.
