The London Development Agency work to deliver the Mayor’s vision for London to be a sustainable world city with strong, long-term economic growth, social inclusion and active environmental improvement.

To do this, we produce the Mayor’s Economic Development Strategy for London, which focuses on: places and infrastructure; supporting people, encouraging business; and promoting London.

We are one of the nine Regional Development Agencies (RDAs), set up by Government to transform England’s regions through sustainable economic development.

And, as a functional body of the Greater London Authority (GLA), we have a key role to play in helping to deliver the Mayor of London’s vision and priorities for London.

Following the appointment of Peter Rogers as our permanent Chief Executive, we are experiencing a period of significant cultural change. Our ultimate goal is to maintain our direction in becoming a more dynamic and focussed delivery regeneration organisation.

As a result of this shift in focus we are looking to hire a Head of Estates Management who will provide strategic advice and practical assistance on property portfolio management in order to deliver the LDA’s strategic economic development and regeneration objectives.

Your experience will have come from a commercial property portfolio management background and will have been spent in either the private or public sectors. You will have an in depth knowledge of legal frameworks, estate and portfolio management and a good understanding of project finance.

Closing date for applications is 23rd January 2009.
