Pioneer a new kind of city

Thanks for your interest in joining Ebbsfleet Development Corporation. We are leading one of the most exciting and pioneering regeneration projects in recent decades – the first Garden City in 100 years on the Kent Thames riverside.

As the Ebbsfleet Development Corporation reaches a critical stage in its journey, we’re now looking for a driven and passionate Chief Executive to lead the organisation and help us deliver our vision of a 21st-century Garden City that works for people and the planet.

To find out more about this unique opportunity, read the letter from our Chair and take a look through the site for more information on Ebbsfleet Development Corporation, the role and how to apply.

Welcome from Dr David Prout, Chair

Welcome from the Chair of Ebbsfleet Development Corporation 

Thank you for your interest in joining us at Ebbsfleet Development Corporation (EDC) at what is an exceptionally exciting moment in our journey. 

Over the past decade, Ebbsfleet has grown from a bold idea into a thriving and confident community, one that already reflects our vision of an exemplar Garden City. We’ve made enormous progress: Over 5,000 homes delivered, new schools and green spaces established, and the beginnings of a vibrant town centre emerging at Ebbsfleet Central. 

Our next Chief Executive will play a defining role in delivering the next chapter. You will lead delivery of our most ambitious phase yet, unlocking Ebbsfleet Central as a true heart for the Garden City, maintaining momentum on housing and infrastructure delivery despite challenging market conditions, and ensuring we continue to be a great partner to government, local authorities, developers and residents alike. 

We’re looking for someone who can combine strategic vision with commercial acumen, who can hold their own in conversations with ministers, councils and investors, and who can inspire and support a talented and dedicated team.  

EDC is a special place to work. There’s a genuine sense of purpose here: our colleagues are motivated by the difference they can make, and proud of the community we’re helping to create. We want our next Chief Executive to share that pride and to bring the energy, curiosity and commitment to help Ebbsfleet realise its full potential as one of the UK’s most sustainable and successful new communities. 

If that sounds like you, I hope you’ll take the next step and find out more. We look forward to receiving your application.
