Connected Communities in the world’s most connected place, today and tomorrow
Thank you for your interest in the Director position at the West London Alliance
Tony Clements
Chief Executive, London Borough of Ealing
Line Manager
The West London Alliance is an enduring partnership that delivers real impact. Across seven boroughs, we’ve built programmes that improve lives and deliver value for money at a scale no single authority could achieve alone.
Our track record sets us apart. From tackling health inequalities and skills gaps to advancing housing, infrastructure, and digital connectivity, the WLA is a trusted vehicle for local innovation and delivery. National government, investors, and cross-sector partners take us seriously because of what we achieve on the ground.
The next Director will inherit strong foundations: talented teams, committed political leadership and a clear mandate to shape the future of one of the UK’s most important regions. This is a role for someone with strategic vision and operational grip, who is able to see the bigger picture whilst being across the detail.
For the right candidate, this is an opportunity to make a tangible difference at scale. You’ll be joining a partnership that is ambitious, collaborative, and ready to go further, delivering for our communities today while shaping the West London of tomorrow.
Cllr Barry Rawlings
Leader of Barnet and West London Alliance Chair
West London is one of the UK’s most dynamic and connected regions. It is home to global companies, world-class universities, diverse communities, and vital industries. Yet it also faces some of the country’s toughest challenges, from housing and inequality to infrastructure and inclusion.
The West London Alliance exists to meet these challenges head-on and to unlock the full potential of our sub-region. Our strength lies in the collaboration of seven boroughs working together with one voice, amplifying the case for investment, innovation, and opportunity.
We are now seeking a new Director to lead this unique and mature partnership into its next chapter. The role requires vision, political acumen, and a deep commitment to collaboration. It offers the rare opportunity to shape the future of one of the UK’s most important regions and to ensure that West London is not only future-ready, but future-shaping.
If you share our ambition for inclusive growth and a better future for all our communities, we would be delighted to hear from you.
