Role details
We currently have a fixed-term vacancy for a Business Engagement and Relationship Lead to join our Business Engagement. This role is a fixed term role to cover a secondment until March 2027.
This role is integral to building and maintaining the relationships that we have with our West Yorkshire business community. Key Account Management focuses on larger organisations who are important employers in the region and those with high growth potential to help facilitate strong relationships, and ease accessing business support. It's an exciting time as we implement our new business support model for the West Yorkshire Business Growth Hub, giving you the opportunity to shape how businesses are supported, connected and enabled to thrive. If you enjoy leading senior relationships and working across public-private partnerships, this is a rare and rewarding opportunity to help deliver a more inclusive, prosperous West Yorkshire.
In this role, you will act as a visible and trusted contact for business leaders, working at pace to remove barriers to growth and unlock opportunity. You will shape and champion a joined-up, responsive system of business support, bringing people and organisations together to ensure businesses get the right support at the right time. This will involve developing partnerships with local authorities and business support providers across the public and private sectors to turn ambition into impact. This is a role for someone who thrives on influence, collaboration and problem-solving - who has excellent relationship building skills, and wants to make a tangible difference to businesses, jobs and the economy across the region.
