Director of Place

Better Bankside is seeking an exceptional individual to become our Director of Place. This is a new leadership role created in response to the growing BID area, a larger membership and increased ambition. The postholder will be responsible for developing a strategic response to environmental challenges and the climate crisis.

The Director of Place will oversee the strategic direction within BB’s portfolio of place based programmes; Bankside Urban Forest, Environmental Innovation, Security and Resilience and Sustainable Travel.

We are looking for an ambitious senior leader to drive a world leading programme that cements Better Bankside’s reputation and a progressive and innovative organisation. The Director of Place will be a problem solver and a creative thinker, bringing forward new ideas that improve the experience of the area.

Better Bankside is an organisation where you can make a real impact; and where you can expect to get involved in a wide-ranging programme of work. We are a small team of fifteen in the Bankside office, plus our wardens and street cleaning teams. The way that we work with our members through our governance structure provides an extended network of regular collaborators and contributors.
