Manchester is a thriving, modern metropolis renowned globally for culture, leisure and sporting success. The city is respected as a leading economic centre and is the scene of some of the country’s most transformational urban regeneration schemes.

We are one of the fastest-growing cities in Europe and a vital engine of economic growth for the north west and the UK. A city brimming with confidence, we attract international interest and investment, and deliver ambitious programmes for our communities to ensure all our residents can share in our growth.

This is a new role, highly influential and crucial to the ongoing success of our city. As Deputy Chief Executive, you’ll be passionate about tackling inequalities, narrowing the economic gap, and delivering fairer outcomes for our people. You will use your leadership skills for a wide range of challenges and opportunities and be a ‘go to’ leader who removes blockers, inspires innovation, and upholds our corporate values.

You will make a huge impact on the lives of Manchester and Greater Manchester residents, with a focus on service transformation, improvements and efficiencies to lead major regional and national initiatives and partnerships that deliver real outcomes for our growing population.

You will be an adaptive and inspirational leader who keeps a tight grip on performance, while actively listening to members, residents, our workforce and partners to shape the Manchester of tomorrow. You will think like a future Chief Executive – or perhaps you already are one – looking for a new opportunity in a pioneering and visionary city.
