Sandwell Council is rethinking how land and buildings are planned, governed and used - not as a back‑office function, but as a strategic corporate resource that enables services, supports regeneration and underpins long‑term financial sustainability. We own and manage a diverse estate of nearly 4,000 assets with a book value of over £1bn. How those assets are deployed matters to residents, to frontline services, and to the future resilience of the council. To lead this agenda, we’re creating a new Head of Service – Property Strategy, Performance & Partnerships role.

Why this role is different • This is a new role, created as part of a clearer, more mature Corporate Landlord model, • You’ll operate with genuine senior visibility, advising at the highest levels of the organisation, • You’ll have the mandate to build systems, standards and governance that endure, • You’ll help shape the next phase of a wider Property Transformation Programme, without being constrained by historic ways of working If you are motivated by influence, scale and public value — rather than purely operational management — this role offers a rare opportunity. Who we’re looking for You’ll bring: • Senior leadership experience in property, estates, asset management or a comparable strategic environment, • Strong judgement around governance, assurance, risk and compliance, • The confidence and credibility to advise Members and senior leaders on complex, high‑value issues, • Experience of working with data, performance frameworks and evidence to drive better decisions, • A collaborative, values‑led leadership style — able to work across organisational boundaries and with diverse partners Public sector experience is valuable, but not essential.

Job title: Head of Service – Property Strategy, Performance & Partnerships Grade/Salary: Hay 1 / £74,454 – £84,792 Contract Type: Full time, Permanent Hours: 37 hours Location: Sandwell Council House, Oldbury (Hybrid) Shape how a £1bn public estate delivers for people, place and prosperity. Sandwell Council is rethinking how land and buildings are planned, governed and used - not as a back‑office function, but as a strategic corporate resource that enables services, supports regeneration and underpins long‑term financial sustainability. We own and manage a diverse estate of nearly 4,000 assets with a book value of over £1bn. How those assets are deployed matters to residents, to frontline services, and to the future resilience of the council. To lead this agenda, we’re creating a new Head of Service – Property Strategy, Performance & Partnerships role. This is a senior, influential position, designed for a leader who wants to shape direction, provide assurance, and operate at scale. This is not about managing legacy. It’s about defining what comes next. The opportunity As a key member of the Property & Assets senior leadership team, you will: • Set the strategic direction for the Council’s estate, ensuring property actively supports service transformation, regeneration priorities and climate commitments, • Lead the development and delivery of the Corporate Property Strategy and Asset Management Plan, providing clear, evidence‑based advice to senior officers and Members, • Own the performance and assurance framework for property — from data quality and insight to governance, prioritisation and decision‑making, • Act as the Council’s strategic lead for property partnerships, including cross‑public‑sector collaboration, One Public Estate, and external investment initiatives, • Shape the pipeline of capital and estate decisions, working closely with operational colleagues to ensure strategy translates into deliverable outcomes, • Represent Sandwell on regional and national platforms, strengthening influence, reputation and access to funding and opportunity You will not be responsible for day‑to‑day operational delivery. Instead, you will provide the clarity, structure and grip that allows the estate to be managed confidently, compliantly and purposefully. Why this role is different • This is a new role, created as part of a clearer, more mature Corporate Landlord model, • You’ll operate with genuine senior visibility, advising at the highest levels of the organisation, • You’ll have the mandate to build systems, standards and governance that endure, • You’ll help shape the next phase of a wider Property Transformation Programme, without being constrained by historic ways of working If you are motivated by influence, scale and public value — rather than purely operational management — this role offers a rare opportunity. Who we’re looking for You’ll bring: • Senior leadership experience in property, estates, asset management or a comparable strategic environment, • Strong judgement around governance, assurance, risk and compliance, • The confidence and credibility to advise Members and senior leaders on complex, high‑value issues, • Experience of working with data, performance frameworks and evidence to drive better decisions, • A collaborative, values‑led leadership style — able to work across organisational boundaries and with diverse partners Public sector experience is valuable, but not essential. What matters most is strategic clarity, professional credibility and the ability to lead at scale.

Hi, we’re Griffin! We’re the bank for companies who want to build and launch financial products. We're rapidly heading towards a future where most of us access financial services through technology companies rather than high street banks. All sorts of companies are now embedding financial products into their apps and user journeys so that their customers can seamlessly make payments, manage expenses, take out loans, save, invest, and do more. The problem is that companies are still dependent on legacy banking infrastructure if they want to offer regulated financial products. They need to either partner directly with an incumbent bank and/or stitch together middleware from various Banking as a Service (BaaS) providers. This process is slow, expensive, and complex and makes it very hard for companies to get new financial products off the ground. At Griffin, we want to change this. We want to make it easy for companies to bring finance to their customers at the point of greatest relevance. So, we built a bank. But not just any bank! Griffin is a technology platform and a bank: fully regulated, API-first, developer-centric, and purpose-built to serve innovative fintechs and brands who want to build and embed financial products. _ Our culture is our most important asset, and one of the ways we safeguard it is by being extremely intentional about hiring the right people. We won't hire people who don’t seem like a strong fit for our core values, even if they're otherwise extremely qualified. We also believe that smart, motivated, conscientious people thrive in high-trust, high-autonomy environments. That’s why we’re transparent by default, and we encourage open discussion and challenge across all levels of the organisation. We’re also remote-first, asynchronous, and fully flexible - because you're the expert on how and when you do your best work. _ Our Risk and Compliance team keeps Griffin compliant, protected and moving quickly and like most of the company, we are growing fast. Governance sits at the heart of what we do: we take it seriously, build it properly, and treat it as a foundation for everything else. This role sits at the centre of that and you'll be the person who makes things happen. Reporting to our Head of Compliance, you'll own our company secretarial function end to end, creating structure, clarity, and confidence at Board level. You’ll be a trusted point of contact for the Board, our iNEDs, and senior stakeholders across the business and operating at the heart of decision-making and helping shape how we scale. You will also have the opportunity to support the legal team with paralegal work (contracts negotiation, NDAs, legal research, and more). In your first few months, you will have taken full ownership of the board and committee cycle. Papers go out on time, minutes are turned around promptly, and actions are tracked and closed without anyone having to chase you. You will be the go to person for the share options scheme, built strong relationships with our external advisers, and created systems that scale as Griffin grows. Beyond that, senior leadership are spending less time on governance administration because you have made the process seamless. The Board and iNEDs know who you are and trust you to keep things moving. You are a go-to person for governance questions across the business. The full board and committee cycle (scheduling, papers, minutes, and action tracking) across the Board, BAC, BRC, P&G, Exco, and internal committees.

How you achieve these outcomes, where you focus your energy, how this role evolves—that's for you to define as you learn what our customers need and where our technical gaps are.

Legal Director- Litigation & Credit Enforcement Insolvency Litigation | Enforcement Strategy | Direct Commercial Ownership in a Lending Business East Midlands | £150,000 - £200,000 DOE + Bonus + Benefits including LTIP Commutable from Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Warwickshire, North Oxfordshire, South East Birmingham, Solihull, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, North Hertfordshire (with flexibility for the right individual) The Context An established and growing specialist finance business is seeking to appoint a senior legal professional to take ownership of litigation, recoveries and enforcement across a live lending portfolio. The organisation operates in a fast-moving, commercially driven environment where legal decisions directly influence financial outcomes. It is not a business where legal operates at a distance. Instead, it sits at the centre of decision-making, working alongside credit and finance to manage risk, protect asset value and resolve complex lending situations. This appointment represents a key addition to the senior leadership structure, reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer. The role has been deliberately defined with clarity of focus: to lead litigation, enforcement and recoveries with accountability for outcomes, not simply advice. This opportunity arises at a point where the legal function is central to the next phase of growth, with a clear requirement for stronger ownership of litigation outcomes and recoveries performance. The Role This is a role for a lawyer who is comfortable operating where legal judgement and commercial reality intersect. You will take full ownership of insolvency litigation and dispute resolution across the portfolio, shaping and executing enforcement strategies in relation to borrower defaults, distressed exposures and recovery scenarios. External counsel will be engaged where appropriate, however responsibility for direction, pace and outcome will remain with you. This includes direct involvement in formal insolvency situations, working alongside administrators, receivers and insolvency practitioners to protect position and maximise recovery outcomes. Alongside litigation, you will provide leadership and direction to recoveries and enforcement activity, ensuring that performance is actively managed and continuously improved. You will be expected to bring structure, discipline and commercial clarity to the way enforcement is approached, with a focus on achieving the best possible outcomes in the most efficient manner. This will include managing complex cases where matters progress beyond initial recovery actions into formal insolvency, requiring careful legal and commercial judgement to optimise outcomes. The role requires close engagement with internal stakeholders, particularly credit and finance, contributing directly to decision-making in time-sensitive and often complex situations. You will be expected to form clear views, provide decisive input and take responsibility for the consequences of those decisions. This is not a purely advisory position. It is a role defined by ownership, accountability and delivery. The Individual You are likely to be a Partner, Legal Director or senior disputes lawyer within a regional or national law firm, with a strong grounding in insolvency litigation, restructuring or banking disputes. Alternatively, you may already be operating in-house within a lending, credit or recoveries environment as Head of Legal, Legal Director or Senior Legal Counsel and are seeking a broader and more influential role. Experience of handling formal insolvency processes, including working with administrators, receivers or insolvency practitioners, will be a distinct advantage and of particular interest. You will have developed a reputation for sound judgement, the ability to navigate complex situations and a willingness to take responsibility for outcomes. You are commercially aware, pragmatic in your approach and comfortable operating without the safety net of purely advisory work. You are motivated not only by technical excellence, but by the opportunity to apply that expertise in a way that has direct and visible impact. This role will appeal to individuals who want to move closer to the commercial reality of the situations they are advising on, and who are prepared to take ownership of both decisions and results. The Environment The business is entrepreneurial, fast-paced and outcome-focused. Decisions are made quickly and accountability is clear. There is an expectation that senior individuals will engage directly, contribute meaningfully and operate with a high degree of autonomy. For those coming from private practice, the role offers a shift away from billing targets and time recording, without sacrificing complexity or responsibility. For those already in-house, it offers broader scope, greater ownership and closer proximity to strategic decision-making. The Opportunity This is an opportunity to step into a role where legal expertise is not peripheral but central to the success of the business. You will be responsible for shaping litigation strategy, influencing recoveries performance and contributing directly to commercial outcomes. This role is designed for individuals who wish to move beyond advisory work into a position of direct commercial influence and accountability for outcomes. Over time, there is scope for the role to evolve into a broader legal leadership position for an individual who demonstrates both capability and ambition. The remuneration package reflects the seniority and impact of the role, with a base salary in the range of £150,000 to £200,000, together with bonus and long-term incentive arrangements.
