Director of Strategy & Partnerships Oxford, England
Job description
The Director of Strategy & Partnership will be part of the ICB Senior Leadership Team and will report to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). This is a pivotal Board role, providing vision, professional leadership and strategic direction in the delivery of the ICSs objectives.
All members of the ICB executive team are required to lead and inform complex transformation and improvement, through collaboration and mature partnership working. This calls for individuals to use the power of influence rather than positional authority to engage and align people, focus their teams, sustain momentum, and ensure success. Effective system leadership requires the full commitment and ability of senior leaders to create an environment of trust, inclusion, mutual respect, and shared aspiration, in which all can contribute fully and openly to achieving collective goals.
Competent senior system leaders will also be adept in engaging collective intelligence, expertise, and experience to deliver results across organisational boundaries, and will recognise that this requires a focus on relationships, through the medium of high-quality interaction with colleagues, partners, and external agencies. A principal motivating force for achievement will come from a strong conviction in the underlying principles of subsidiarity and collaboration, combined with the fundamental and overriding desire to make positive contributions to a meaningful purpose.
