As Executive Director of Corporate Services, this is a rare opportunity to provide strategic leadership across a broad range of services including people, communications, IT, data, performance and improvement.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is much more than a functional leadership position. Working in close partnership with the Chief Executive and fellow executive colleagues, you will lead transformation and change across the whole organisation, bringing people together around shared priorities and ensuring change is translated into tangible outcomes. You will strengthen programme management capability, enable cross-functional improvement, offer constructive challenge, support accountability for delivering our ambitions and help to further develop a culture where innovation, collaboration and high performance thrive.
Your professional background could be in any of the services you would lead, or in another relevant professional area. Most important will be evidence of leading organisation-wide changes across multiple functions and delivering improvements within a regulated, complex environment.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You will be an inclusive and collaborative corporate leader who combines strategic thinking with the ability to turn ambition into outcomes. Social housing experience is desirable rather than essential, and we are open to an exceptional director who is ready to step into their first executive role. You must, however, demonstrate the strategic capability, learning agility and leadership maturity needed to impact a diverse and purpose-led organisation.
