Interim Head of Strategic Asset Management

A council in London is looking for someone to join as manager of the Valuation and Strategic Assets team.

They are looking for someone to help the Council get the most out of its property — whether that’s renting it out, selling it, or buying new sites. The goal is simple: turn the assets into real benefits, whether that’s money coming in, capital for projects, or social value for the community.

As Deputy to the Assistant Director, you’ll be the one making sure the property programmes run smoothly and actually deliver results. You’ll be giving practical advice to senior leaders and the Cabinet, helping them make smart decisions about land and buildings.

Day-to-day, you’ll be leading a team that’s focused on adding value and keeping things customer-friendly. You’ll work closely with colleagues across services, making sure everyone is pulling in the same direction and staying on top of the rules and policies that keep the Council protected.

This role is also about looking ahead — supporting the Head of Service and the team through change, making the most of new tech, and building a data-driven approach to manage assets smarter. It’s about being proactive, spotting opportunities, and helping the Council transform how it uses its property to meet today’s challenges and tomorrow’s goals.

You are required to be in the office one day a week.
