About the Role

You will play a leading role in shaping the future of Euston, one of the UK's most significant regeneration opportunities. The primary focus of the role will be driving the development of a planned Locally Led Urban Development Corporation (LLUDC). Working in a highly political and complex environment, you will bring together a diverse range of stakeholders behind a shared vision for Euston's future. You will navigate competing interests, build consensus and maintain momentum across multiple organisations, ensuring that local priorities are balanced with London's wider ambitions for economic growth, housing delivery and regeneration. Key elements of the role include developing and finalising the business case for the LLUDC, negotiating with government partners, and engaging local communities and elected members. You will help shape the future powers, governance and funding arrangements of the Corporation, lead the planned statutory consultation and internal decision-making processes, and coordinate the work required to establish the organisation, such as recruitment, resourcing and internal governance. There is potential for the role to evolve with the formation of the proposed Development Corporation focused on wider policy and governance for the Euston area.

Skilled at building consensus, negotiating solutions, and maintaining momentum in politically sensitive settings.
Excellent communicator, able to build credibility with residents, elected members, senior leaders, government officials, and external partners.
Equally comfortable considering complex policy and governance questions as tackling operational challenges.
