Transforming Oxford Street is one of the UKs most exciting regeneration programmes. Oxford Street is not just a shopping street. In 2022 it contributed an estimated twenty-five billion pounds to London’s economy. That is nearly five per cent of the city’s total GVA and around one per cent of the United Kingdom’s entire economic output.

The Oxford Street Development Corporation (OSDC) has been established to lead the long-term regeneration and transformation of Oxford Street and its surrounding area to deliver a truly world-class public realm. The OSDC will provide a single guiding mind to lead delivery, build relationships between the private and public sector and accelerate investment into Oxford Street and the West End. Our OSDC Board is setting out the strategic direction of the organisation and brings diverse insight and cross-sector expertise including retail, property, leisure, fashion, music, theatre, media, law and politics.

We have the chance to re-invent Oxford Street, working with businesses, retailers, residents and local organisations to create one of the finest public spaces in the world. Located in the heart of London’s West End, the area benefits from an unrivalled concentration of retail, the arts, hospitality, entertainment and employment. This regeneration will ensure Oxford Street remains firmly on the map as a globally recognised destination, futureproofing its role as a huge driver of London’s economic growth and an exciting place to visit for Londoners and tourists alike.

Should you be successful in this role, you would be joining a rapidly growing organisation, set up on January 1st 2026 and fully dedicated to shaping and delivering this exciting new chapter for Oxford Street.
