The chief executive leads the corporate management team (CMT) and works with directors to promote a positive culture, ensure continuous improvement in the delivery of public services and make strong links with partners and the wider Renfrewshire community. Where necessary, the chief executive acts as the lead officer in the event of a major civil emergency and also performs the duties of returning officer during elections.
