In today's context – more than ever before – corporate finance must be an engine of
transformation and continual improvement for public service. Runnymede is no exception:
we've set out a clear strategy which builds on our proud legacy of high-quality services
and low costs, but takes us forward into a more enterprising future. And we want to
attract an ambitious and talented professional who's ready for the challenge of delivering
this strategy, driving efficiency and developing sustainable new revenue streams.

At the heart of the role is an understanding of the new opportunities opening up for
local government, and the ability to create a structure and culture which maximises that
potential. It's a genuinely broad remit: asset management, regeneration, and service
delivery are all part of the mix, and you'll also offer an expert view on performance
management across the authority. With a strong track record of your own, you must be
able to persuade us that you have strengths in both the technical and commercial areas,
and show the resilience and vision to deliver for the long term.
