This has proved the impact zonal policies can have; but with a Spending Review on the horizon, we now need to consider �what next?� in this policy space.

This is a fast-paced role requiring the ability to marry creative policy thinking with insights and data from on-the-ground delivery. You will need to be comfortable working autonomously, able to rapidly build trust with stakeholders, and confident leading across organisational boundaries.

These policies are all about delivering economic transformation for parts of the country that have historically missed out � and about doing so by building new industrial clusters in emergent sectors like hydrogen, offshore wind, and advanced manufacturing, which can serve as regional economic mainstays over the long-term.

In the context of an upcoming Spending Review, your second key area of responsibility will be providing cross-government thought leadership on the future of zonal policy. You will work closely with our monitoring and evaluation leads to distil insights about zonal policy design and delivery from the Freeports and Enterprise Zones experience and translate these into options for future policies focused on regional clustering and economic growth. You will establish yourself as a trusted expert in this policy space and effectively influence thinking across DLUHC and in key partner departments, such as HMT, DESNZ, and DBT.

Responsibilities:

Leading the team�s work, in the run-up to the next Spending Review, on the future of the Freeports and Enterprise Zones programmes.Using insights and lessons from delivery of the two programmes to inform and influence wider thinking about the future of zonal economic policy.Management of strategic relationships between the DLUHC Freeports and Enterprise Zones Team and key teams/departments, including: DfE, DWP, DESNZ, DSIT, and the wider DLUHC Levelling Up Group.Lead the continued development and delivery of Freeports policy across the following areas: Net Zero, Innovation, skills, and customs.Work across government to ensure the alignment of Freeports and Enterprise Zones policy with wider thinking relating to Levelling Up, local growth, and industrial strategy.Line management of up to 2 SEOs.Acting as a visible leader within the wider team, contributing to a positive and inclusive work environment.Deputising for the Head of Policy & Benefits as required.
