  • Act as a conduit between the organisation and local partners, influencing decisions and generating new business opportunities.
  • Use a problem-solving approach to overcome delivery barriers, bringing together partners to find practical solutions.
  • Leverage the organisation’s full range of funding tools, products and expertise to create integrated intervention packages.

  • Coordinate activity across directorates, ensuring alignment of programmes, funding streams and strategic priorities.

  • Ability to think strategically, recognising patterns, interdependencies and alignment with wider organisational objectives.
  • Strong commercial awareness, with the ability to identify innovative and viable solutions to support project delivery.
  • Ability to build and sustain high-level relationships and influence without direct authority.
  • Experience using data and evidence to support decision-making and strategic planning.
