About the role

Join us. Shape the future. Lead a council where people THRIVE.

West Northamptonshire is a place of huge opportunities and endless possibilities. Proud of our heritage, ambitious about our future, and driven by a clear, shared vision: to make West Northants a great place to live, work, visit and thrive.

As one of the UK's newest unitary authorities, we have already achieved a great deal. Now we are entering our next phase of transformation, focused on delivering excellent services, driving innovation, ensuring financial sustainability and creating an organisation that is fit for the future.

Local government is at a turning point. Communities face increasing complexity, demand for services continues to grow and councils are being asked to deliver more impact than ever before with finite resources. Public expectations are changing and technology is transforming how organisations operate.

We believe these challenges also offer extraordinary opportunities and we are looking for an exceptional Executive Director of Resource to help us harness these.

What will you be doing?

As our Executive Director of Resources, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of West Northamptonshire Council. As a key member of the Executive Leadership Team, you will provide strategic leadership across a broad portfolio of critical corporate services that underpin everything we do as well as being responsible for some front line services too.

Your responsibilities will include leadership of Finance and Procurement, Human Resources, Customer Services, Legal and Democratic, Transformation, Digital, Data and Technology, Revenues and Benefits, Pensions, Business Intelligence, Coroners and Registrars, Regulatory Services, and Audit and Risk,

This is a role with significant influence across the entire organisation. You will ensure our support services are modern, efficient, digitally enabled and focused on delivering excellent outcomes for residents, businesses and communities. You will lead ambitious transformation programmes, champion innovation, embed strong governance and ensure we continue to deliver value for money while maintaining high-quality services.

Working closely with the Chief Executive, Executive Leadership Team peers, elected Members and strategic partners, you will help shape the Council's future direction, ensuring we remain financially resilient and well positioned to respond to the opportunities and challenges facing local government.

You will drive organisational improvement, develop our long-term financial sustainability, strengthen our digital and data capabilities and create the conditions for colleagues and services across the council to thrive.

This is a unique opportunity to shape not only how a modern council operates, but how the organisation continues to evolve and deliver lasting benefits in a rapidly-changing world for the people of West Northamptonshire.

Our Culture: We THRIVE

We are a young council with a modern mindset. We encourage fresh thinking, support ambition, embrace flexibility, and create space for our leaders to lead. Our values are more than words, they are the way we work every day.

About you

You are an inspiring, values-led leader with significant senior leadership experience gained within a large, complex organisation. You bring strategic thinking, commercial acumen and a strong understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing public services.

You have a track record of delivering sustainable organisational change and creating high-performing teams. You are financially astute, politically aware and comfortable operating in complex environments where balancing innovation, governance and performance is essential.

You understand the critical role that finance, technology, people, governance and customer services play in enabling organisational success. You are passionate about using data, insight and modern ways of working to drive improvement and deliver better outcomes.

A collaborative and influential leader, you build trusted relationships with Members, partners, stakeholders and colleagues alike. You bring ambition, resilience and a genuine commitment to public service.

Above all, you are excited by the opportunity to help shape the future of one of the country's most ambitious councils, ensuring we remain financially sustainable, digitally enabled and relentlessly focused on delivering excellent services for our communities.

Ready to shape the future?

If you want to lead somewhere with vision, momentum and room to make your mark, West Northamptonshire is the place. Join us and help our communities, our organisation and our people truly THRIVE.

Interviews will be held on w/c 19th October 2026 in Northampton.
