    3. Lead cross-functional teams in analysing market trends, conducting feasibility studies, and identifying opportunities
    4. Collaborate with senior leadership to define long-term objectives and devise effective strategies to achieve them
    5. Conduct rigorous due diligence on potential investment opportunities, evaluating risks and returns
    6. Stay abreast of industry developments, regulatory changes, and economic trends to inform strategic decision-making
    7. Foster strong relationships with external stakeholders, including investors, partners, and government agencies
    8. Provide insightful analysis and recommendations to support key business decisions
    9. Drive continuous improvement in strategic planning processes and tools
    10. Mentor and develop the strategy and planning team

    Skills and experience required:

    1. A background in planning and delivering large regeneration planning projects
    2. Proven experience in senior strategy and planning roles within the real estate or investment management industry
    3. Strong understanding of government development processes and regulations – ideally a background in town planning or working in local or government planning
    4. Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate complex data into actionable insights
    5. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and negotiate effectively at all levels
    6. Demonstrated leadership capabilities, with a track record of successfully leading cross-functional teams
    7. Strategic mindset with the ability to think creatively and anticipate future trends
    8. Solid understanding of financial analysis and investment principles
    9. High level of integrity and ethical standards
    10. Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
    11. Advanced degree in business, finance, real estate, or a related field

    This is an exciting opportunity for a highly experienced senior Planning and Economic Development professional to leverage their diverse background and strategic acumen. There is a competitive salary and benefits package on offer for the right candidate, along with the opportunity to work alongside industry leaders in a collaborative and supportive environment. The location for the role is flexible within England.
