Strategic Estates Programme Lead (various)
Residing within Greater Manchester, and being able to regularly travel across GM sites, would be beneficial.

Grade 8 | Greater Manchester | Closing date: 2 August 2026

This is a career-defining opportunity to lead large-scale, real-world change.

GMCA’s Land & Property team is growing and we are seeking Strategic Programme Leads to drive the delivery of one of the UK’s most ambitious and complex public estate programmes.

You won’t just shape strategy you will lead its delivery across a live system, influencing how land and property unlock better public services, stronger communities and long-term value across Greater Manchester.

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a traditional programme role. You will operate at the centre of a high-profile, multi-million-pound public estate, where success depends on your ability to:

Turn ambition into visible, on-the-ground outcomes
Work across organisational boundaries at pace
Influence decisions that shape places, services and investment priorities
Lead delivery in an environment with real complexity, ambiguity and scale

At GMCA, property is a lever for transformation and you will be central to making that happen.

Your Role: From Strategy to Delivery

You will take a leading role in ensuring estates strategies are not just agreed but delivered, accelerated and realised.

Lead Strategic Programme Delivery

Drive delivery of Greater Manchester-wide estates strategies
Translate high-level ambitions into structured, deliverable programmes
Align investment, priorities and delivery plans to maximise impact

Unlock Progress and Drive Momentum

Identify where programmes are stalling or underperforming
Intervene confidently to remove barriers and re-establish pace
Challenge inefficiencies and fragmentation across the estate
Maintain delivery momentum in a system that doesn’t always align neatly

Influence at Senior Levels

Work with and influence senior leaders across multiple organisations
Translate complexity into clear direction and priorities
Build alignment where there are competing drivers and constraints
Lead through collaboration, credibility and pace

What You Bring

You are a strategic thinker who can see how a well-managed estate can support service readiness, people welfare and improve community protection.

You will thrive if you bring:

Exceptional experience in property, estates or mission-critical environments.
Understand the importance of risk compliance services and statutory frameworks.
Proven ability to deliver capital programmes/ projects and models, at scale who can convert ideas into measurable outcomes.
Confidence in collaborating with Senior Leaders, partners and operational teams through an effective leadership style, who can influence at various operational team and senior levels.
Hold a relevant technical or professional property qualification (or have relevant property experience) with membership of a recognised body such as RICS or equivalents is highly recommended.
Strong commercial acumen and supplier management skills, together with the ability to manage complex contracts budgets and supply chain partners, would be advantageous.

We are looking for a delivery-focused programme leader who is motivated by impact and comfortable operating at scale.

Leadership & Delivery

Proven experience delivering complex, multi-partner programmes
A strong track record of turning strategy into real, measurable outcomes
Confidence handling risk, interdependencies and competing priorities

Systems Thinking

Experience working across organisational and sector boundaries
Ability to navigate complex governance, stakeholder and funding environments
Skilled at bringing structure, clarity and direction to ambiguity

Commercial & Analytical Strength

Strong understanding of investment, value creation and prioritisation
Ability to use data and insight to inform decisions and drive action
Focused on outcomes, not just process

Credibility & Influence

Builds trust quickly with senior stakeholders
Communicates clearly, confidently and with purpose
Willing to challenge constructively and drive improvement where needed

Unlock social, economic and environmental value from land and property
Deliver visible change across places and communities in Greater Manchester

This is a role where you will see the results of your work in real time.

Why Join GMCA and what sets us apart?
