Independent Member of Investment Management Board

The Committee meets approximately nine times per year (generally in the early evening) and you would be expected to attend these meetings. An allowance of £1,000 per meeting is made for the role.

Applications are invited from interested persons with relevant experience who can communicate and question effectively, absorb key information and have knowledge in areas such as property investment, finance and risk management.

Trafford Council adopted an Asset Investment Strategy in 2017 and established a cross-party Investment Management Board (IMB) to consider investment decisions. The aims of the Investment Strategy are to support regeneration in Trafford, and the wider Greater Manchester economy, whilst also providing a stable income stream to the Council. CBRE have been appointed as lead advisors to the Council for this work.

We are looking to recruit an industry expert to become a member on the IMB, providing additional scrutiny and expertise to support effective decision making. This would be as a non-voting, co-opted independent member.

The IMB is the decision-making body for all of the Council's investment decisions, and also monitors investment returns and the review of investment assets. It takes account of compliance with the Council's adopted Investment Strategy, risk management, regeneration outcomes and financial return.
