Jobs

The Royal Borough of Greenwich is synonymous with iconic London
landmarks, culture and outstanding service delivery. The borough is home to
the O2 Arena, Royal Park, the Royal Observatory, the Cutty Sark and the
Royal Naval College. Our vibrant, diverse communities span Greenwich town
centre in the west, to Thamesmead in the east, from the Greenwich Peninsula in the north to Eltham and Coldharbour in the south.

We are ambitious for our borough. Our books are balanced, enabling us
to continue investing in our communities. Our Local Plan is under
consultation, setting out the Greenwich 2040 vision to deliver on
residents' aspirations of affordable homes and bold town centre
strategies. The agreed DLR extension to Thamesmead supports an
ambitious proposed new town development site, creating thousands
more social and private homes and world-class facilities for residents.

Our new Director of Growth will steer our relationships with
developers and strategic partners, and lead on critical agendas
spanning development and regeneration, economy and skills, capital
delivery and investment, and planning and building control.

You will bring an outstanding track record of creating the right
conditions for investment and successful delivery. We are looking for
someone with vibrant and exciting ideas to further enhance our
strategic ambitions for growth. A strong collaborator, with a clear
vision of what success looks like, your values will put Greenwich’s
communities at the heart of delivery.

Royal Greenwich is an inclusive employer. We want our workforce to reflect and respect the diversity of our communities and actively encourage applications from under-represented groups.

Closing date: 10 April 2026.
