About the team The Operational Policy and Performance Team is part of the Investment and Operations Unit in the Housing and Land directorate, led by Rachael Hickman as Assistant Director Investment and Operations. Operational Policy and Performance works across the full breadth of Housing and Land's work. It is a truly collaborative, multi-disciplinary team working with our delivery teams, programmes teams and policy team to support and enable everyone in the directorate to deliver effectively, consistently and within our GLA governance procedures. Key areas of responsibility for the team include: Directorate and corporate-level management and reporting of: budget (annual budget: circa £116m revenue and £1.5bn capital), strategic risk, and performance.

What your day will look like No two days are the same, but will include: Providing strategic senior level leadership on all aspects of programme management and reporting of the Mayor's housing and land priorities in line with current and future policy direction and targets.

We promote flexible approaches to working and try to ensure an inclusive and supportive environment that enables our staff to be successful. This may include reasonable adjustments or other flexibilities around working hours and locations.
