Hertfordshire is embarking on an ambitious journey to reorganise local government, creating new unitary authorities that are modern, resilient and designed around people and place. The 11 existing councils have committed to working together to create strong, future‑ready organisations delivering excellent public services.

We are looking for an exceptional Programme Director to play a critical role in shaping the future of local government across the county.

If you are a strategic leader with proven experience in large‑scale transformation and have a passion for delivery, this is a once in-a-generation opportunity to leave a lasting legacy.

On this site, you’ll find further details about the scope of the role, the key accountabilities and the experience and qualities we are seeking.
