THE ROLE

Step into a senior leadership role within the Bank’s new Local Growth team, taking responsibility for place‑based activity in one of the UK’s most economically complex and politically visible regions. This position requires confident navigation of senior political, business and financial environments, acting as the Bank’s authoritative representative and shaping conditions that enable local economic growth.

Define and drive a tailored local strategy that identifies opportunities, catalyses commercial activity and strengthens the regional finance ecosystem. This includes facilitating investment, connecting finance providers with high‑potential business clusters, and working with partners to improve access‑to‑finance pathways. The aim is clear: deliver measurable increases in local business finance, and economic outcomes.

You will also support the MD in aligning local strategies into a coherent national approach, contributing to senior leadership across the Local Growth team and ensuring strong integration with the wider Bank.

Success in this role draws on substantial commercial experience across equity and/or debt, including hands‑on dealmaking and work with complex financial products. Candidates bring a strong record of strategic engagement with senior external stakeholders, influencing outcomes and delivering targeted results. Internal leadership experience is equally important, with evidence of building trust, commercial credibility and effective collaboration. Deep strategic thinking, sound judgement and the ability to design and execute sophisticated strategies in complex environments are essential.
